very intersting........sounds like a good upgrade

Ok...here are some of the firs pics.
The plate looks awesome. Very high quality!
I sent some followup questions to him and will relay the responses soon.

plate bolted to block

closeup of plate

Z32 trans on bottom compared to an SR trans above with the OS giken Crossmission....compare the width and thickness of gears.

input please

um...you should market this.

 

um....planning on it

mark

 

um...i got nothin
thats a really good idea, good job, let us know how it is when installed.

 

dats beautiful man, big diff between them

 

Thanks for all the replies.

Ok..the shifter will sit within 1 inch back of where the stock shifter is. Overall this won't make any difference. But we won't know FOR sure until he gets a shifter bolted up. The trans he got did not come with the shifter assembly but he's got another shifter on the way.

In terms of the bolts, he told me that only top of the trans would be bolted to the block. The bottom bolts are not necessary. He used to be the driver for Titan Motorsports in 2003 and they have 1300hp supras with only 4 bolts holding the trans to the motor..so for our purposes this should be fine. The bellhousing is machined such that when the adaptor plate is in place the bottom of the trans will be flush with the motor.

ok..more to come later

DENG!!!! nice work... i am intrested for sure... make em' and we'll buy em.. i definatley need this!

 

thats fucking sweet

 

how close are the gear ratios going to be? Any major difference in weight? You said the shifter might be -1" from stock, is this stock sr...or stock ka?

Thanks in advance

thats friggin awesome! any ideas on the price?

 

once you iron out this out i'll be in line for a ka setup definately.

 

Price will be about 500$ for the swap kit, but then you have to source your own trans and likely have to get a custon driveshaft made.

surprisingly the gearing of the Z32 is very close to the SR.
Z32... Gear ratios are: 1st 3.21, 2nd 1.93, 3rd 1.30, 4th 1.00, 5th 0.75 for the manual.

SR...1st 3.321, 2nd 1.902, 3rd 1.308, 4th 1.00, 5th 0.759


In terms of shifter position..it will be -1" from KA/SR since they both
have the same shifter position. At this point the adapter plate will
only be for SR20, since the KA starter is bigger and sits slightly in
a different orientation, this plate cannot be used. But if the SR swap works out, then there is always a potential to expand it to KA.

thanks

very very cool.

 

thats very very sweet. serioiusly, props.

 

mad props. i likey.

 

i'm really glad about the response this is getting. I can't wait till it's done because I'm sure a lot of you have been in the same boat as me, in terms of needing a beefed up tranny.

the kit is being developed by Mazworx..a company that specializes in high performance, drag racing custom components.

more pics to come soon

more tranny pics

so i have a few other pictures for you all

machined bellhousing

adapter plate

clutch slave cylinder
240 on left, Z32 on right

clutch slave mounted to bellhousing

we also have to make a custom shifter assembly but not a big deal. We will be ready for test fitment in a car later this week.

check back for details

Looks sick, great idea.
Im assuming the Z32 clutch will be used right?
Also, which tranny are you using, the N/A or turbo tranny?

 

no actually you would use the silvia clutch


mark

 

Z clutch would be too big for the stock pp which is retained.

duh

 

Nice pics dr. mark . Weirdness said he was going to copy your idea and take credit for it.

 

Wow, amazing work!

 

This is good stuff.

 

Looks nice, going to be very pricey though... A custom driveshaft is no jk.
