Tim240z Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 What other gearboxes will bolt to the KA-24? Will the Z car box fit up? I am looking for something that is a good deal (4-6 inches) shorter from bellhousing to Shifter..... and what is NAPZ when referring to the nissan pickups?

Phyxius Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I have a tranny...i think it's an FJ20... bellhousings are the same as the KA, and the tranny is quite a few inches shorter...probably 6-8" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phyxius Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Excuse my ignance....what is "fj20"? FJ20.com 4 banger nissan used in early skylines, s12's, among other cars...? perhaps i should have said "an FJ20 tranny" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phyxius Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 from a post I made a while ago when I was doing my KA tranny swap, the part numbers on the trans I'm talking about are ZL 71B #5... I'd be willing to let go of it, if you are interested, but I'm not really sure what kind of shape it is in. I took the covers off to look at it, and it looked okay. No chipped gears or anything. It's been outside for a while now with the case still split, so it's probably a little rusty on the inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted July 30, 2005 Author Share Posted July 30, 2005 Did the FJ20 tranny come in any USDM vehicles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 The FJ20 engine tilts to the left so its gearbox case is configured to suit that tilt. Internally they are much the same as say a 280ZX box. I'd guess that the internals would transfer to say a 280ZX case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2003z Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 I don't remember exactly which engines they were, but NAPS-Z was an engine series, if I recall correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted July 30, 2005 Author Share Posted July 30, 2005 Anyone know the dimensions of the Z series boxes? (specifically bellhousing to shifter) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 NAPS Z was the continuation of the L series 4 banger. They went from L20B to Naps Z22, then naps Z24. They used dual spark plug heads that apparently suck donkey balls, and it's actually better to use an L series head than the crossflow head on the "Nissan Anti Pollution System" engine. I am 99% that the bellhousing is identical to the L, so any L series Nissan Z, 510, 200SX, truck, ZX transmission will fit but I think you probably already know that the truck and possibly the 510 are shorter transmissions.

Tim240z Posted July 30, 2005 Author Share Posted July 30, 2005 Thanks Jon. I assume you mean same bellhousing as the KA for the ones listed in your post? Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 No, I thought the KA engine sat at a different angle than the L, so the bellhousings aren't swappable. Isn't that why the guys using the KA transmission on the L6 use the L bellhousing? I don't know much about the KA, but that's what I thought was correct... Might want to look up that KA transmission swap in the drivetrain forum. I think datsunlover wrote a post about that swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
