You have the GTO tranny so you are fine. What I was talking about was in regards to the shifter. If you do not have a GTO T56 you have to purchase a gto lever piece and input into your tranny. A lot of Z guys are having issue on this..

Beejis60 · 07-28-2012, 12:50 PM

Ya, I thought you were saying something about trans length and/or shifter placement with the shifter was hitting the tunnel or something...
Either way, broadfield, I would also look into getting a more modern transmission with the CF rings and not older ones the paper rings.

The S13/14 don't have the trans issue you speak of like with the 350z. Sikky doesn't even make a shifter for the S13/14 swap. I'll just be using the MGW shifter on a LS1 T56.

Anyway, I'm figuring hose length tomorrow and you will have my XRP quote sir.

it is geared more aggressively, not weird at all- a GTO has about 800lbs on an f-body, needs the taller ratios.. i have one in my s13 out of a GTO, but i put an f-body hurst shifter on it. the GTO shifter sat about 2 inches too far back, and all available shifters for the GTO are much sloppier that those for the f-body. and f-body parts are way cheaper.

if you decide to run a GTO trans with an f-body shifter (or vice versa) you will need to run the f-body shift ball receiver on the end of the shift shaft or you will not be able to fully engage all gears

I know PLENTY of fast boys running the old stuff without issue. No reason to rebuild if you don't need to

Well, how much?

Royal_T · 07-29-2012, 07:20 AM

Like Toby said How much Cody?

blueshark123 · 07-29-2012, 08:12 AM

Hey toby if you decide to buy a crashed f body I have an excel sheet on the cost of almost every part you can sell off them. I have parted out 5 already and u will make out with a free trans and cash if you play your cards right. I picked up a few around 3500 or less and i sold the swaps alone for that.

ixfxi · 07-29-2012, 10:07 AM

damn......... when did you guys bust out the miller light?

i thought it was about kirin on this forum. pssh, not in this thread... not anymore.

*holemilk00* · 07-29-2012, 10:20 AM

I wonder if Toby and Damon will bundle stuff together in their part out threads?? Cut better deals on shipping and stuff.

*holemilk00* · 07-30-2012, 08:24 PM

I wasn't saying to rebuild; I was just recommending to go with a newer gen T56 with CF rings. But I agree with the statement of not needing to rebuild....

I would say waste o cash. If I felt the 'need', then I would roll with a slightly newer gen viper motor.

dat925stunna · 08-06-2012, 12:18 AM

I do have a few new pics, but my iMac has been giving me fits and I haven't been able to upload my pics onto it. In the process of getting a new hard drive now and I will have it back Monday. I have had it for 7 years now without one single issue, so I really can't complain.

*kingkilburn* · 08-10-2012, 09:44 PM

Broadfield uses mac?

ixfxi · 08-11-2012, 10:57 AM

how do you use an iMAC

wow

Beejis60 · 08-11-2012, 12:40 PM

son...

am debating that XRP purchase now since I know you use mac

Broadfield · 08-11-2012, 01:02 PM

Wow, you guys are really stuck in the 90's. I own Apple product because I want the shit to work longer than 3 years. Not to mention it will give me zero issues for 7+ years. It's also MUCH easier to use than a pc. Look at my build threads, do honestly think I would own a pc? I buy the good stuff.

Grr I hate when people make this comparison. Everyone always compares a cheap Walmart computer to a Mac. Spend the same amount on a windows pc and you will have a machine that runs circles around any Mac. Don't kid your self, you didn't "buy the best" when it comes to computers.

My first business was building/maintaining small networks, almost exclusively with PC's. Getting Macs to play nice on a heterogeneous network used to be teh suck, and hasn't improved much. I'll always choose open-source/competition over proprietary, especially when the 'proprietary' option is the same stuff, repackaged.
