I believe it fits, though unless your going for big power your probably better off using the gearbox you have now, you may also need a new rear diff, plus note that these gearboxes are considerably heavier than the one thats in your car already.

Ah the joys of owning a type RA 
Shorter gearing.... though you can change whats in the gearbox, probably cheaper, some of the later STi Type RA V-Ltd's came with a longer 5th.

Another point to consider. The JDM 6 speed has very short ratios 1 through to sixth. Sixth gear on a JDM is not gonna be much different to your RA fifth, i.e. short and higher revs on the motorway.
Better to swop your 5th gear IMHO.
