Now you have a problem 'cos the breaker [ or whoever ] sold you the box is unlikely to take it back broken - you'll need to make a lot of noise to do so.
OR you send it to someone like us and we'll create a box that does fit and is compatible with your car.
The simple test to see if I am right, is to take off the rear gearbox case exposing the drop gears that transfer drive proportionately front and rear.
Count the teeth on the gears:
30 : 30 is JDM type I.E. a VB box which is what you need.
30 : 33 is UK VN type box
Good Luck - call if I can help
