Exposed Posted March 11, 2018 Author Share Posted March 11, 2018 (edited) not the best pictures but i have about 3in of room of either side. the front of the transmission is about 4inch past the firewall. with the serial nine shifter it lines up almost perfectly. Im running an R200 with 3.54 diff, not to sure which one though was put in by the PO Edited March 11, 2018 by Exposed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlejester Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Those aren't the stock mounting points on the trans tunnel are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exposed Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 yes they are the stock mounting points as far as im aware, unless the PO switched something up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlejester Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Wow, I can't believe it lines up so nicely. Thank you for the measurement of the bell housing past the firewall as well that will tell me how far I have to shift my setup for the awesome fitment.

Neverdone Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 You think about running a triangular gusset onto from the box portion of your mount to the flat portion of your mount? Right now you can get a decent amount of flex laterally on that bend of the angle iron you used. Boxing that in would prevent a possibly very catastrophic failure. Maybe you're ok, but I'm always more of the mindset of, the only way to do it is to overdo it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlejester Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Wouldn't be a bad idea, but that looks like angle iron that has cross bars welded to it. Those are naturally a bit gusseted, granted the CD009 is a heavy transmission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It leaves me with about 1.5"~2" of space from the coilovers. I can take exact measurements if you'd like. Love20Bee makes some AMAZEBALLS wheels. I follow him on insta and havent had the heart to fork out for his wheels yet... What rubber are you going to run?... I thought our only choice was R888...and we know how that goes with Canadian weather lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exposed Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 I found him through instagram as well, as for tires I grabbed a pair of R888.....lol. I had been bouncing back and forth between them and a BFgoodrich but ended up going with the Toyo's because a local shop had rebates on them. From speaking to some of the local guys here they don't seem horrible, fingers crossed they perform well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seattlejester Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Extra vacuum line might be nice if they want to feed a boost curve into the dyno or something of that nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exposed Posted May 18, 2018 Author Share Posted May 18, 2018 so currently have the car at the shop that's going to be tuning it, has anyone run into not enough/ low spark before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran into it on a different engine. Bought a hks DLI and that solved it. For these cars though it could be due to cracks in the boot on the coil, or just an old worn out coil. Could also be too much spark plug gap. If it's none of the above and you're shopping for coils there are a ton of aftermarket solutions for people on stand alone ecu's. Everything from R35 GTR coils to GM truck coils, even Mercury Marine coils have been used on these motors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exposed Posted May 20, 2018 Author Share Posted May 20, 2018 I'll ask the shop to check the gap on my plugs, coils are less than a year old, I double checked them before I sent the car to the tuner but I'll ask them to check this as well. They're thinking its the wiring pin out, upon searching for some answers I think I may have found something. I purchased my harness from wiring specialties roughly two years ago, I found a video on youtube from wiring specialties titled "repinning Jz connector" that was posted a year ago. I contacted them and they said that the video applys to "the first couple of harnesses had ignition pin off by 1 pin. If the car ran, you are all good." I figure it doesnt hurt to check. I also asked the tuner about just switching out for smart coils, he recommended finding whats causing the issue before switching them out though. Appreciate the speedy response Geno. @Geno750 where did you get your AEM coil plate from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geno750 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 When these guys were first starting to offer a kit they sold a few plates on their own - https://www.inductionperformance.com/products/induction-performance-ign1a-coil-kit I had to source my own coils, hardware to mount the plate to the valve covers, and my own spark plug wires.
