this is why ..
So far i have found that the autralian st185's have a lot more parts from the RC Spec cars from japan - then the actual stock jdm model
Ie the steel turbo instead of the ceramic item , and the same torsen LSD rear end as the group a ( neal bates motorsport clarified this )
For imformations sake im trying to Clarify what else toyota australia have slipped into the Australian spec Gt4 for other owners of them, so they know what they actually have instead of second guessing ..
Toyota Australia have little to no idea on their books of what the cars actually have in them - handy that  ..
Plus im also planning on selling the gearbox i have to regather some of the funds - so id like to know what the potential buyer is getting ,if its a upgraded Gearbox - or something less equipped ..
as for what i have - I have a st205 gearbox hopefully coming to me from a front cut that a friend of mine is getting for a clubman car - they cant use the gearbox in it so ill be snapping that up when it arrives ..
The st205 box is the best choice because of the better ratios and the viscous LSD they have. they are also meant to be stronger than the rest , and have been upgraded further over the st185 group a Item
I hope that clears up your question

Sorry to drag up an old thread, but Stu, can you confirm your original gearbox was an E151F? Additionally did you count your rear diff ratio out to 3.933 also, or was it 4.285?
