scottchapman Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 I'm wanting to know what cross member people are welding up to run a z32 transmission in their s30's? I've seen 1 or 2 write ups about it but not in real details. Thanks for the advice in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewZed Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Well, that's a bit of an odd combo. Might be worthwhile posting in the V8 forum. I'd post the links to the other 2 writeups also, so people know what you've seen. You'll probably get some generic advice but how many people have done the LS block with a Z32 transmission? Actual experiences will be limited, I'd guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottchapman Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 Thanks, I as looking at doing a cd009 out of a 350z but I decided to go with the z32. Also there are plenty of z32 owners that have swapped out to a ls platform and stayed with the trans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewZed Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Here's one, different transmission but similar dilemma. Cut and weld. The 280Z's have a nice set of mounting ears, why waste them. Maybe get a 280Z crossmember and blend it with a Z32's. Use the Next and Prev buttons. http://www.motortopia.com/cars/1973-datsun-240z-11118/car-pictures/240sx-transmission-swap-14041/IMG_2170JPG_Thumbnail1.jpg-269044 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
