rags Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Mike, I don't know if you already answered me about this but do the Z32 and Z33 bell housings have the same bolt pattern? And if so, Ken, when are you stopping by to pick mine up to bring back to Florida with you??? Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Gad Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I am not sure of the bell housing bolt patterns, but Mark said that he could do the Z33 adaptor as well, just send him the bell...you may have to do the tranny mount for your car for the Z33 as I am unsure of dimensions, but that would be the easy part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe[/quote'] No it is not a the same bolt pattern there is only a couple of Z32's running the Z33 6 speed and they did require adapter plates and the such. Most don't use the 6 speed because they don't like the gearing for their TT cars. But this doesn't mean that one can't be made for the L28 as well.

thehelix112 Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Sorry to thread hi-jack a bit, but have any of you guys tried an SR box behind an L? I just did the conversion, which you can do at your home with a die grinder and a drill and an afternoon. I know of one fellow pushing 244rwkw (maybe 330-350rwhp for you USers) through one for years without any issues and the SR gearboxes are reputedly relatively strong. The gears are around 16% wider than the std 240Z 5-speed I was using anyway. Has anyone pulled down a Z32 box to see if they offer any advantage over this?

tfreer85 Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I believe there is a member running a KA behind their L28 can't remember who. I don't know if there are very many similarites between the SR and KA though. Tyson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrett76Zt Posted November 14, 2005 Author Share Posted November 14, 2005 SR tranny is identical to the KA tranny . . . just different bellhousing. I am currently running one on my turbo setup... this tranny will not hold the power I plan to make. Keep in mind that an SR with 350hp has alot less torque than 350hp on the L. I just did it cause they are easy/cheap to find. Thanks for the update MIKE!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehelix112 Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I was talking about a L making 350rwhp. Plus, not all SRs rev that much higher. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Gad Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Yep, read the tutorial, and nice write-up BTW, but I am ready for a tranny that I do not have to worry about babying or breaking. The SR and KA guys making serious power are getting away from their trannys as well and going to the Z32 5-speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violacleff Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 What does a Z32 tranny go for at the JY? Whatever it is its gotta be cheaper than doing a G-force T5. If this turns out well, i'tll make me less regretful that I didn't go rb25 as the tranny gives it a big advantage over a 400hp L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kj280z Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I got mine at the JY for $300... They had 1 more for $350... They were located in Cocoa Florida... I forget the name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperZ Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 I was talking about a L making 350rwhp. Plus' date=' not all SRs rev that much higher. Dave[/quote']I'm thinking a T5 would be fine with that power. I'm not making quite that much, but Shane and others do fine for years at 350-400 with a T5.

ww Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Since my GForce T5 has been on the back burner for the last 6 months as I work to finish my ZXT, it might be fortuitous that a much less costly alternative has arrived. I have a couple of friends with 500+ hp in their Z32's with the stock tranny and one that's running over 700hp. If it's a simple bell housing mod+adapter, I think this may be the solution to many of our problems. And if it comes in significantly under the $2500 for the modified T5, I'll be a happy camper. Although, I will miss the light weight of the T5, I'll just have to turn the boost up a bit more to compensate. What are the gear ratios on the Z32 tranny? Fortunately, I have 3.545, 3.7, 3.9 and 4.11 R200's so I'll be able to get the right final drive regardless of the gearing, but it would be nice to know which one I'll need to prep.
