blindside73 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) Hello everyone. I just finished swapping (2JZGE/CD009) my 260z and I'm upgrading the cooling system with a champion 4 row. Champion Radiator: inlet 1-1/4" outlet 1-1/4" 2JZGE: Upper: 1-5/16" Lower: 1-7/16" what hoses are everyone using? Attached are some photos during the swap process.

seattlejester Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 SC300 hose on the passenger side for sure, I think it needs a bit of a twist, so I cut it and used a coupler. Inlet was really simple I think it was an SC300 hose as well if not the stock datsun hose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious as to what company you went with for the trans/bellhousing adapter. I am aware of Maverick Motorsports, Collins Adapters and SerielNine, but have not chosen one for my swap as of yet.

seattlejester Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Will say your transmission looks really nice and centered with what looks like the stock hole no less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the compliments! I wouldn't recommend the company i went with good thing they are not on your list. I've heard good things about PMC and Fish Raching. If i was to do it all over i would have gone with Fish Racing. I think going with that configuration would allow an external shifter relocation (haven't taken any measurements to confirm). The internal shifter that i converted too is not ideal to say the least. The throw between 2nd to 3rd and 4th to 5th are so short and easily shifting into the wrong gears.

Yes that is the stock hole. That shifter i selected does come with a sacrifice as mentioned above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlejester Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 You can undo the short throw by using a longer shifter with an extension rod. I feel you on what you are saying some of the shifts with the CD009 are sketchy and hard to tell especially with a short shifter and a soft transmission/motor mount. My fear was always somehow missing 5th or 6th and slipping into reverse (forget which way it goes). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fear was always somehow missing 5th or 6th and slipping into reverse (forget which way it goes). The pictures above doesn't detail the complete shifter. There is an extension which threads on to the lower half and secured by the jam nut you see. This does result is more side to side throw but no where near stock travel. The reverse lockout bracket also isn't installed in the picture but you can see a small standoff on the right side of the lower shaft. This prevents the user from miss shifting from 5th to reverse and requires that stand off to be pressed down before selecting reverse.

seattlejester Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 My shifter had a reverse lockout as well, I think most do, but with a weighted shift knob to push down on the lock out spring and extra leverage, it actually isn't hard to push past. I never engaged reverse, but more than once I've felt the shifter slip under the bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
