Muskrat Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Thats a pretty low fifth isn't it? Heh, compared to the 4 speed I was running, just having a fifth gear at all is a huge improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody 82 ZXT Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I agree but, having a real low fifth in a 6 cylinder car can be a bummer. When I stll had my 3.54's in with the 17's on the fifth was so low I would have to really dip in the gas further than I would like a some speeds and that cost my some mpg. And ofcourse thats what fifth is all about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tfreer85 Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Okay so what all is included in this kit or adapter setup? Are we going to have to do the hybrid clutch using the Turbo Flywheel? What other parts are going to be necessary for us to run them? What else are we going to have to source out? Custom Driveshafts, tranny mount, etc.?

ww Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 From what I've gathered so far. 1. Send in a Z32 bell housing 2. Receive modified bell housing with L series adapter attached. 3. Custom tranny mount 4. Custom driveshaft 5. Hybrid flywheel & clutch combo Did I leave anything out or mis-state anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Gad Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 1. send Z32 bell housing 2. receive modded bell housing with adaptor plate, shifter bracket, and tranny mount 3. Your existing turbo clutch should work (Z32 has the same spline count as the L28 tranny) 4. You will have to have your own driveshaft made for the correct length once the tranny is installed in your car. It is a common output spline for driveshaft shops. We have a local driveshaft place here in Orlando and custom shafts run between $250 and $300. 5. Depending on what you have to pay for your driveshaft and tranny itself, I figure the whole swap should cost no more than $1200-$1500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett76Zt Posted November 28, 2005 Author Share Posted November 28, 2005 I actually went down to the driveshaft shop today and got a quote. for a completely new driveshaft with all new spicer components, rated to 860 ft lbs torque. $250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody 82 ZXT Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 I'm getting excited. All this seems like it's gonna turn out sweet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ww Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Anyone know what a Z32 tranny weighs? The T5 is 85 lbs dry weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spork Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 alright, stupid question...but what about the z32tt auto tranny? I assume the adapter would work the same way? I'm looking for an auto tranny to hold 600+ hp and I think the z32 tranny is a possibility. Either way, I'm interested in the adapter as well...I'll be awaiting updates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Gad Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Wow, I hadn't even considered the auto tranny, but I don't see why the bell housing and adaptor would not work the same way... I just do not know how the tranny itself (shift points, etc) is controlled (Z32 ECU?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just do not know how the tranny itself (shift points, etc) is controlled (Z32 ECU?) Maybe someone can cime in on this. On a side note, I found the auto tranny weighs around 178 w/o fluid. how about the manual tranny? anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violacleff Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Is the z32 tranny a better option than say the GM setup that thagard was using? I imagine they go cheaper than z32 trannies and are pretty strong no? I have no interest in autos, just curious why you would want a z32 auto.

spork Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 I need a Nissan auto tranny to stay within Nopi's rules for my class. I may be stuck with a manual, but I'd sure like to find a nice strong auto (or atleast one I could build to be nice and strong) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mack Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 On the weight thing..... I would estimate the Z32 to be right in the 125lbs neighborhood. It weighs more than my GF! lol! I can toss around a Z or ZX 5speed pretty easy, but the Z32 (92 NA) was a wee bit harder to lug around the garage and in and out of my trunk. on the auto note.... what about a Q45 transmission? cant remember where, but I ran across a website for a guy running a hot build with something ungodly like a 250 shot of Nitrous in his q45, he DID have the transmission upgraded by level 10, I beleive. He was running low low low 12's in that pig of a car (4000lbs I would imagine), full interior and everything. or the maxima 4 speed auto rebuilt using Starion internals? From what I have read, they are the same transmission, its just that the starion trans was built using much stronger parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp 280 Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Ive owned two Z32 300zx's both autos one a N/A and one twinturbo both standard with no mods and both autos craped out. If someone is keen to have an adapter made and sent to me in New Zealand, depending on the final price p/m me Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifton Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 I know the Q45 uses the RE4R03A trans. I have heard the Z32's do too but can't find the link I had. On the weight thing.....
