proxlamus© Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I'm posting this in ALL 3 threads regarding the Z32 transmission swap We can still use the FACTORY speedometer with the Z32/RB25 5-speed transmission swap!! Mike Rowe was able to find a mechanical speedometer pinion assembly (Nissan part number 32702-02G17) that came from a Nissan Hardbody (D21) truck... with the manufacture years (1986.5-1994) This replaces the electric speedometer output.. and converts it to a mechanical speedometer output!! Incredibly.. the speedometer cable bolts right up to the new pinion assembly and it works!! I think it cost me around $46 from Nissan =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 fast z Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Can you get different cogs for different ratios? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notheredave Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Are you still selling the adapter? mounts? what's your turn around to modify my case. I have a 87' Turbo tranny and a 92' N/A Tranny...(Is the z32 Turbo and the N/A the same internally?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notheredave Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Are you still selling the Z32 adapters? Also I have the Z32 tranny and a 87' Turbo tranny (which has the same guts but has a regular shifter and lines up with the stock shifter location...Which should I use.

notheredave Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Mazworx seems to be the only place that still sells them I just called them (1-407-281-1223) and the "KIT" sells for $670 shipped and comes with adapter, hardware, short shifter and shortened shifter bracket. PS It really sucks that we can on send PM's every 30 minutes...Bad times!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kj280z Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Was wondering if you have any of the tranny mounts still available? Also if you have a shifter mount I might want one of those as well Let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kj280z Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Hey all I had posted this on the other thread but thought I would post it here as well: Ok all I have an early mazworks adapter that I bought from a fellow hybrizer... PLEASE PROVIDE SOME FEEDBACK ON THESE FINDINGS! The adapter had 2 dowl pins which should have lined up with existing holes in the bellhousing but they do not - My tranny is from a 93 300zx NA from what I remember... After removing the dowl pins we were able to get the bolt patterns to match up but the hardware included leaves space which does not instill much confidence for alignment. I have included pictures... I have purchased shouldered bolts to remedy the situation but would love to get some feedback on correct dowl pin placement and if anyone else has experienced these issues. Also, just a bit of a pet peeve of mine - all the hardware on the mazworks setup is standard - while the whole rest of the car is metric - wish they'd have drilled and tapped it with metric threads and included metric hardware instead... I'd imagine if anyone else had to pull the dowl pins and tried to just bolt it together without replacing the bolts that they may have some unexplained clutch chatter... I've included a picture of the mcmaster bolts that hopefully will solve the problem... I'd actually like to make some adapters that remedy all of these little "gotcha's" so I'd like to talk more about others experiences... The first two photo's show the threaded hole on the adapter and the larger hole the bolts go through on the tranny - you can see the large difference in diameter... Here you can see where we had to remove the 2 dowl pins out of the adapter to get it to line up... An example of how much play there is in one of the holes (there is less in others) - but the lack of a shouldered bolt really causes some concern here due to the threads acting as a "file" inside the tranny side (bellhousing)... Here you can see the smaller holes with better clearance but still enough to cause concern... Again absent of the shouldered bolt which better aligns the two parts there could be enough "play" to cause some unwanted clutch chatter and other issues. McMAster bolts that we bought to remedy the clearance issues... slight reaming was required - we can only use these in 3 or 4 of the holes which should center everything and feel it will be enough to fix the problem. We'll use bolts with shoulders everywhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeron Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 What about getting some copper tubing and using it as a bushing of sorts as needed? You could cut it lengthwise and roll it into any thickness or diameter needed. Just a thought (in case you somehow missed it; I haven't read "the other thread") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proxlamus© Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Cooper and Aluminum dont work very well together.. causes weird corrosion. You can get a grease at your local electrical supply house to prevent this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeron Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Cooper and Aluminum dont work very well together.. causes weird corrosion. You can get a grease at your local electrical supply house to prevent this ohhhhhhh yeah...... I knew that. I really intended any ol' metal bushing; copper just springs to mind because it (or brass or bronze) is most commonly used (when no metallurgical issues arise, obviously.)

vega Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 updates on the z33 trans? seeing that the z32 turbo trans is the same as the z32 na trans.... what would be the point in the turbo trans? why did they make one different? is there anything different? also is the z33 trans any stronger than the z32 or is it just the extra gear (6 speed vs 5 speed) that is the difference here? i really do hope you are still making these kits. i am planning on a l28et stroked to a 3.1 with the diesel crank to help push more air through a gt35r garret turbo to a fairly large fmic. vega- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarJway Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 He is selling these in the vendor's section, and the link is below. I bought one of the kits, and the craftsmanship is top notch. Z32 Adapters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aplyedmind Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Is the turbo tranny stronger? Or is the Non-turbo? Wat which has shorter gears? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vega Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 im not sure on gears but they are the same strength jsut diff location for the starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedBeauty84ZX Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Is the turbo tranny stronger? Or is the Non-turbo? Wat which has shorter gears? The Z32 transmission is the same between NA and TT, gear ratios are also the same. The later year transmissions had better synchros... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MazterDizazter Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 (edited) I'm pretty sure the ones with better synchros were only sold in the '98 300ZX, which as we all know was never sold in the U.S. Edited March 13, 2010 by MazterDizazter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raami Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I'm posting this in ALL 3 threads regarding the Z32 transmission swap We can still use the FACTORY speedometer with the Z32/RB25 5-speed transmission swap!! Mike Rowe was able to find a mechanical speedometer pinion assembly (Nissan part number 32702-02G17) that came from a Nissan Hardbody (D21) truck... with the manufacture years (1986.5-1994) This replaces the electric speedometer output.. and converts it to a mechanical speedometer output!! Incredibly.. the speedometer cable bolts right up to the new pinion assembly and it works!! I think it cost me around $46 from Nissan =) Do you know with what engine and tranny that pinion assembly came? Here in Finland it's not that same part in those years trucks. Would need one because I'm putting rb25 tranny in my Z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rise Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Gorgeous adapter but why such thick alum? We've made a few adapters for various applications the most recent being RB motor to KA tranny and we used 10mm steel cnc machined without any bell housing machining. Did you machine the bell housing cus of the thickness of the adapter or was it other reasons? Reason I ask is Nissan bell housings are prone to cracking and are weak enough I would never consider any form of machining on them unless absolutely needed.
