It'll all be ready for tomorrow. This trans is a bitch to take apart compared to the old one, I'm gonna have to charge you extra, . Bring your snow shovel and we can get the rest of your parts off the car, lol. Give me a ring tonight.
I just took the trans apart. The diff definitely looks different. I'll try to get some pics up this weekend. I noticed alot of big differences in the trans, Nissan made some very good changes.
Yes, it has a different VLSD than the B13/B14 trannys. Matter of fact, everything is different.
First off, awesome information, including your recent post on installing an aftermarket LSD. You definitely make tranny work look less like a black art!

This is only partially true. The '99 P11 case is definitely different than the B13/B14. It has the cooling fins and appears to be reinforced to reduce flex. But it definitely does not have all the reinforcements of the '00 P11 case including the very interesting reverse gear setup. I am hoping to have mine on the ground in the next month or so where I will compare the case in more detail to a P10/B13/B14 case.
Anyway there's not a lot of info on the '99 case breaking under power. Ive run mine over 270 whp on a daily basis for over 2 years without a problem. Now Im sure a lot of breakages are a result of driving style, but I do think that the stronger case helps avoid shearing gears from improper mating.
The '99 P11 tranny also has the SE-R gear ratios which may be more suitable for turbo applications. But I guess more 1st and 2nd gear wheelspin is preferable to a spun 3rd gear In any case, I definitely agree that the +00 P11 or B15 tranny is stronger than any other SR transmission.
The '99 P11 is still an RS5F32A/V. The build plate off the firewall was attached to the one I bought. I've also fitted my PAR gearset and Nismo LSD straight into it.
Like MrFancyPants said, the case is finned and does look stronger. The internals of the '00 model looks more like the RS5F50A/V.
Bugger...
How about flipping it over too? I guess that it looks fatter than the P11 one too...
i just flipped mine over (p11 trans) in my b13 and it worked just fine. ill try and get pics later this week since my motor/trans is currently out of the car
Well my b15 trans is finally done and the car is back up and running. I have some new information for those who are going to be doing the swap in the future.
1: First off if you have a 98 ser or 99sel and get a b15 with locking differential it will require new axles.
2: If you have a 91-97 ser trans currently and get a b15 with open diff it will require a new divers side axle. This can be sourced from a 98-99 ser or sel with a production date after 10/97. However even with the new axle it is still a very tight fit.
3: I put an open diff b15 into my b14 and the shift linkange required no modifaction however the rear trans mount did need a fair amount of grinding. My suspention techniques swaybar also needed a fair amount of gringing to clear the shift linkage.
4: I was at first worried about running the open diff tranny however after driving the car it is offical that the factory lsd was do all of nothing for me before. This may not be the with cars making less power( mine is currently 285whp 293 ft lbs) but for me the tires were breaking loose at almost the exact same point as with the lsd.
These are just a few things that i think may be of a little help to someone considering doing the swap. I will get pics sometime this week and post them on the b15/p11 trans install thread.
ok guys im going to buy a new tranny its either going to be a p11 or b15 now for my question.i have found a 99p11 for a good price 580 shipped to my door should i buy this or try to find a newer p11 or b15 tranny.

well i bought the 99p11 so i dunno. I needed a tranny bad plus everyone wants 8 to G for a b15 or a newer p11 so.How exactly is this 99 p11 tranny the same as the b13-14 doesnt it have the same case as the b15 i know the gears ratios are the same as the se-r.Has anyone actually broke or stripped 3rd gear in a 99p11 tranny?
Soooo ...if I got all the information digested right..... for my 98 SER, I want the 2000 or later B15 w/vlsd and will need axles from the same doner car??
.... and the lightened flywheel and ACT clutch I currently have on my B14 will work just fine??..... Right

Flywheel, clutch, and throwout bearing the same, and IIRC the axles are the same too. Its somewhere in this post.

So whats the accurate statement...... for my 98 SER.... I plan on getting the B15 from a 2000 or later Sentra SE or G20T.... (I think) and might as well get the axle's while I'm there...... but only if they are needed as the salvage yard will want some additional presidents to part with them.... Any clarification here would be appreciated as things are starting to get a little conflicting the further this thread goes....Thanx
