240hoke Posted December 20, 2008 Author Share Posted December 20, 2008 The shifter does not come through the factory hole, so transmission tunnel mods will e nessecary regardless, it comes out right in front of the ash tray. The transmission is about .6" from the top of the tunnel. I will take a measurement for you though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRZ man Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 I like it, you know the price yet??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240hoke Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 No definite pricing yet, still in the same bracket as I originally estimated...it will not be more then that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pharaohabq Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I think it looks pretty sweet. Do you know if it'll fit the 6sp Trannies for the HR (2007+) engines? I imagine it will but if it won't fit would you offer refunds? Phar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240hoke Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 Im pretty sure they are the same. However that would be a great thing to check..perhaps I can sell you the prototype at a discounted rate to check out if you can be prompt about getting it installed. PM me if you are interested.

EMWHYR0HEN Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 That is one bitchen looking part. Are you doing all the machining yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240hoke Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 Thanks! I designed the part based off my original much simpler relocator which I machined myself on a mill and lathe...these are being made by a machine shop with a CNC mill. The finished product will be tumbled and anodized black just like my L28 transmission adapters were. I need to test this one next time I go home to make sure the boot works and everything is good, then I will go ahead and have a run machined. Lemme know if you want one!

Brad-280z Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Hey Austin, I am in for one as well... been following your transplant religiously. You beat me to the punch as this was my plan since I purchased my Z a few years ago.. Perfection has got to be your middle name. Keep us posted!

240hoke Posted January 17, 2009 Author Share Posted January 17, 2009 I just test fit the adapter and it works great! The shifter boot and everything turned out working really nice. Here are some pictures of the install: Here are a couple shoots of the shifter in my car and how I modified the transmission tunnel. I plan of use a 350z shifter boot to seal the opening around the shifter, I looked at the one on my 350z and it looks like it will work well i just gotta order one. I have given the go ahead to have a run of the shifters made. There will initially be 15 available and the final price is 180 dollars shipped within the US, 185 to Canada. I will ship worldwide but you'll have to PM me for a quote. They should be ready in a few weeks, Ill have to get the final date from the machine shop. The shifters will be the same as pictured above except tumbled and black anodized. Brad - Thanks for the compliment, although my car is far from perfect...it just looks good in pictures!

Brad-280z Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Hey Austin, let me know when they are ready and I will send you payment, definately count me in for one! ...also, a perfectionist never thinks his work is perfect; I suffer from the same pain man. With that in mind, you have done a stunning job on your build from start to finish. Very well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

240hoke Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 Just as an update the machining should be finished on the relocaters this weekend and then they will go out for annodizing. So we are about two weeks out on having them ready to ship to you guys. i also want to add that if you want me to TIG weld your shackle then it will be an even 200 bucks for the relocator and welding. For those of you that want to have the shackles welded then you can go ahead thd send me the shifter link so I can be ready to go when the relocators are ready if you want.

vqpwrd240 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 PM me your paypal and shipping address. I will to get the shackles out to you next next. Ferhan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrocket Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 My fabricator simply cut the stock and welded back together for same results. Doesn't look quite as nice as Austin's but works the same. Red Rocket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
