Has anyone seen the actual adapter plate made to run a z33 trans behind a rb25. Yes I know about the gear ratios and all that bs. My rear will be switched out to a 3.54 and it will have a fair sized turbo. now theoretically the 5 speed on that rear will have a low rpm and feel more sluggish in regular driving. now on the other hand the z33 should feel like it will pick up easier and still have that low rpm cruising gear for long distances. I run at decent highway speeds a lot and it gets old sitting at 3k rpm+. Now also Ive felt the ratio of the rb trans just doesn't seem right when making pulls to me but whenever I drive a z the rpm band always stays within its hardest pulling range throughout the gears, something I feel like my rb lacks. So where as the rb trans falls out of its pull the z trans wouldn't. Yes I know it has its costs but I also want to make this different and almost one of a kind. anyone who knows gearing and specifics of my idea please chime in. Id like to hear the opinions. I know its been gone over and I know everyone wants to just say stay with rb trans....but that's not the idea here. I know what the rb can take so I don't need that input.
