ben 300zx Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 New to Hybrid Z and was just wandering if anyone here could help me on either buying one or having one made. Anything on the plate would be nice. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike kZ Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 The stock tranny will not hold, good luck finding an adaptor anyways. Use a Chevy tranny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaito Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 The z32 tranny WILL hold. Ican hold around 600ft lbs before it needs upgraded. Im with mike kz though, it would be much easier and cheaper to use a gm trans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbird911 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I built an adaptor plate for my LT1 to Z32 5 speed using a 3/4in aluminum plate. I have a small mill but cutting out the center was a PITA. Bought a late model flywheel out of a 95 Firebird I think, bought several months ago. Will use an earlier push type 10.5 in pressure plate which bolts up and pushes the pressure plate out far enough. A 2005 Xterra pressure plate has the correct input shaft size and is bigger than the stock Z32 disc. Have not bought that yet. My motor is in the car with custom mounts, pushed the trans back about 4-5 inches. Sorry for the lack of exact measurements but I have not worked on the project in 2 months due to other obligations. The stock Z32 trans may not take a beating but they are cheap around here and I know the turbo trans is good for 600 hp. Spoke to a local Nissan tech that said he has seen the turbo trans handle more than that. Have the accessories mounted for fitment only, they will get some love before install. They are out of a 95 Capric and will work without mod. Only real custom work is the mounts, oil pan, and had to modify the drivers side header but passenger side fit perfect.

cheeze Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Has anyone looked into doing a r150/r154 truck and supra trans? These trans are basically the same with different gear ratios and handle tons of torque and power not only that, you can find them for pretty cheap on craigslist. Im in the process of putting a race built r150 built by marlin crawler with a adavaced adapter bellhousing behind my sbc but I'm thinking about just getting rid of the whole thing.

kiwi303 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 The Supra trans is popular down under, goes for big bucks. You may have more sucess checking the Toyota AU and NZ forums for info on that combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeze Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I have the complete kit to put behind a sbc already, just wondering if people have gone that route yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbird911 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) For the LT1 or SBC to stock Z32 trans I made an adaptor plate that will go in my car. I have a buddy that owns a machine shop and has offered to take the measurements off my plate and produce them for me, for a reasonable fee of course. If I thought there was a market for them I might consider doing it. Unless you plan to do drag strip style starts the stock trans will more than strong enough for a 400hp SBC.
