jkgts1 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 How is everyone? This is my situation. I have a 74 260Z with the 2jzgte/ R154 mounted with John's (betamotorsports) mount, but I still have not made a tranny mount yet. I want to make sure all my angles are good. In the rear I have a R200 from a 96 Q45 mounted with MM kit. At this point the car is level, the diff is level, and the engine/ tranny are angled downward to the rear about 1-2 degrees. I can get the engine/ tranny level too, but it looks like I will have clearance issues with the e-brake part that goes through the tunnel. I found the thread on the laser tool for alignment, but have not got around to putting it together yet. Is there another way to find out if the center of the tranny output shaft and the center of the differential are parallel? I can still swing the tail of the tranny left to right a little, hopefully enough to have them parallel. Any advice. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbo1jz Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I have a 74 with a 1jz/ r154 also with the MM Q45 setup but I just did my best to eye it out the best I could. Seems to be fine, but I just got it running and haven't drove it yet so I can't be any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkgts1 Posted July 4, 2009 Author Share Posted July 4, 2009 I read on a post somewhere that you should have one plane parallel and the other plane can be up to 3 degrees off. This is the first time I have been this involved in a project. So, I'm taking all the advice I can get. Thanks for the replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Raise the nose of the diff so it matches the angle of the tailshaft, but not more the 2 degrees. Pinion angle is important and too high will cause increased wear on the diff gears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkgts1 Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 Well, it seems that I got the engine/tranny angle same as the diff angle. Just have to make a tranny mount now to keep it where it is. Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
