nope Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 just wondering if anyone can give me a measurement on where the shifter pops thru the transmission tunnel in the 240z. the guy i bought my z from cut the top of that tunnel out so i have to weld it up with only a shifter hole. anyway im looking for a measurement from where the tunnel meets the firewall to the center of the hole ..not straight line distance but rather following the contour of the top of the tunnel.. from inside the car. im most likely getting the install at vildini motorsports but im having trouble getting the info directly. so if any vildini guys see this, or someone who got the install done there please help me out with that measurement.. as well as the dimensions of the hole. heres my problem..

Guest PROJECTRB240SX Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Well I Don't Have Any Of My Interior Out At The Moment But I Know My Shifter Comes Up Almost Dead Center In The Original Hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Just measure the length of the transmission, figure where your engine is going to sit, and then measure under the car and mark a spot. Cut a hole that extends 4" in front and 4" behind and you should be pretty close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nope Posted August 16, 2005 Author Share Posted August 16, 2005 no original hole. no transmission. no idea where engine sits, since thats vildini custom work. just asking if someone can scribble down some numbers next time youre working in or under your car, and tell me how you measured. thanks.

Guest PROJECTRB240SX Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I Know You Don't Have Anything But If You Have Access To Another Manual Z... You Can Look. My Car Was Originally Done By Vildini Motorsports And Like I Said The Shifter Sits Almost Dead Center In The Stock Hole. Besides You Can Always Pm Sr240z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
