The everything cd009 swap thread.

[roninwon]

With the ever growing popularity of the z33 swap option I thought that it was time for its own dedicated thread. This page will entail specifics on every available option for swapping in the trans. My build is ongoing so I will rely on other members to help build this page.

Adapters:
There are several on the market to choose from
Maverick motorsports
http://www.maverick-motorsports.com/collections/transmission-adapters/products/z33-transmission-adapter-plate
COST: $430
I personally own this plate and I can say the quality and precision is spot on

Collins
http://collinsadapters.com/index.php/adapter-plates/sr20det-to-350z-transmission-adapter-plate.html
COST: $350

Mazworx
http://www.mazworx.com/srvq-bellhousing.aspx
COST: $900
The price is high on this one but it doesn't require you to use an adapter plate. However you do need to cut your bell housing to use this. Keep that in mind if you have a warranty.

Autotech
http://www.autotechmotoring.com/products/transmission/transmission-adapter-plates/
COST: $295
I thought JWT had an option but I can't find it. Their website feels encrypted sometimes.

Slave cylinder option:
Internal or external. My opinion external is the way to go with these transmissions due to the amount of negative reviews on the internal. From what I've read Nissan didn't quite fix the internal slave problem till the later model 370z's. Another downside is if your slave fails you'll need to pull the trans off just to correct the issue.

Clutch fork, carrier, bearing, pivot ball
I can't speak for other kits but the Maverick motorsports kit requires you to use the z33 clutch fork, extended pivot ball and clip. I bought the upgraded version from z1motorsports.
https://www.z1motorsports.com/trans-case-and-clutch-release/nissan/upgraded-clutch-release-fork-assembly-kit-p-5400.html
Will you need to use the sr20 carrier and throw out bearing.

Cross members.
Again there are a few options

Maverick motorsports
http://www.maverick-motorsports.com/collections/transmission-adapters/products/z33-transmission-adapter-plate
COST: $100

Collins
http://collinsadapters.com/index.php/adapter-plates/nissan-s13-s14-s15-to-350z-transmission-conversion-crossmember-and-mount.html
COST: $175

Xcessive
http://www.driftmotion.com/N-S-VQ-TCM-S1-p/dm3301.htm
COST: $128
This kit allows you to use the z32 trans mount only.

Driveshaft.
Only option I'm aware of that you can buy directly from is shaft masters. They have an ABS and non ABS option.
http://shaftmasters.com/aldrni2419wi.html
COST: $398

Shifter modification.
Everyone who has looked into this swap know about the terrible shifter placement that requires cutting into the chassis. Well after a ton of research looking into Ive found 2 companies that are now building custom shifters for various application with the cd009.

First is Jason Farmer at CBF Performance. I've personally talked with him about his product and offered what solution would be best for my platform which is his rear mount set up. His products can be purchased for around high 200- mid 300.
Currently on sale for a group buy at $185
http://www.cbfperformance.net/store#!/Group-Buy-Billet-CD009-Rear-Mount-Shifter/p/67349541/category=19722030
https://youtu.be/mYsGvVwlySE

The other is SERIALNine. From the amount of info they put out it looks like they will only be releasing a mid mount set up which MIGHT bang against the body. They are currently in production and should be available late May. Heard the retail will be about $350 US. Will post link when available.

autotech motoring as a plate too (sr to vq and ka to vq)


i went with the mazworx kit since i plan on running a tripple plate on my set-up ... just a heads-up , the g37/z34 and g35/z33 dont have the same outside diameter input shaft bearing (g37 smaller vs 350z bigger) ... so mazworx is sending me a little centering ring for it to compensate for the samller bearing and for it to work 100%

[rbs14kouki]

Mazworx made a video to help out
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkyRquTwNoE

on my set-up i tried cutting before the second ridge ... to limit the gap in between the bellhousing and the transmission . it doesnt work its to tight


you need to cut right after the second ridge for it to get my result .. in the mazworx instruction they say to cute 1/4 pass the second ridge but i dont realy like the result ...


it was cut with a grinder

Finding the adapter for a JZ setup isn't the issue; the tranny is too long. As far as I know, no one has a guaranteed shifter solution for the JZ/CD combo that places the shifter in a stock location.

[S-Verteen]

Collins plate to ka requires a little trim at the bottom to clear the flywheel. I believe 14mm off the bell housing and a hole in the bell housing for the nose cone of the starter. the gk shifter requires no mods to the chassis. The driveshaft shop did my driveshaft. Also the locating pins are removed must be for the rb. and a custom dust shield was made to cover the bh.

ATS & HKS Clutch kits use a center hub type clutch system on their twin disk. I'm using the ATS Twin disk with the Maverick adapter on my SR CD0009 setup works fine with full engagement.

I'm using a local kit for SR20 to z33 in Australia by Insane Drifters. They're on fb.

https://facebook.com/InsaneDrifters/

Paid AUD $2350.00 including shipping.

http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160502/811c68ea699ef977069bfbdef42ae9c4.jpg

It came with:

- Adapter plate
- Bellhousing machining
- Test fit to ensure everything fit without further modification (no chassis mods)
- Shifter w/ Reverse Lockout
- Gearbox crossmember adapter plates (suit s15 gearbox crossmember and factory mount)
- All required bolts/nuts/washers
- Braided clutch line to suit RHD s13 master to z33 slave
- Single piece tailshaft to suit abs housing

I haven't fit it to the car yet, but he uses the same setup in his ADGP s13 and his old man's daily s15. Looks the goods, comes out in factory location with no need to modify anything.

I believe he would be willing to sell components separately, I just couldn't say no to having it test fit before I coughed up dough.

Edit: I'm using the factory z33 throwout fork and pivot with a Nismo Super coppermix twin plate. I've been told that it will work - another customer has used it before I think.

[roninwon]

Holy sheet nice setup. A bit heavy on that wallet though. I should look into their clutch line cause I also have a RHD.

[Joobie610]

Yeah, bit exxy, but when everything is made to order and test fit by a guy who does this and builds sr20 engines for a living, you know you're getting quality.

They will custom make the line for you to suit the application (I.e. Correct fittings and length for any master/slave combo).

Good point there

Yeah sorry i should of said that ... if your center hub is one peice and you have flotters friction discs youll be fine ... but im runing a comp tripple and they are one piece

[TheRealSy90]

I believe the Mazworx kit is actually slightly cheaper than the InsaneDrifters kit. However the InsaneDrifters kit has a way better shifter relocation solution than Mazworx. The Mazworx relocation requires cutting the hole in the chassis although it does come with a metal plate to cover the new hole and clean it up. Also it BARELY clears the plastic shifter trim in S14 and S13.

I went with the Mazworx full kit myself, had to send the bellhousing back initially as they forgot to machine a relief for the 2nd gear selector rod, and they exchanged it for a revised one that should be arriving in the mail tomorrow.

[Fricshon]

This seems Sr specific but I wanted to add my experience about rb25 to z33 adapter. The Collins adapters for this application is really poorly made and while they're patient on the phone there is truly not that much support. Plan on a lot lot of Fabrication and lot of headaches. If there's interest or further information needed on this I would be glad to comment.

Following to see how this evolves. I'm interested in a better shifter placement, if possible, to avoid cutting up my chassis.

Does anyone know what the best transmission fluid to run is??
OEM Nissan?
Torco?
Redline?

I have a G35 6MT in addition to the S14. Best fluids are either Nissan MTF or Redline MT85.

Redline MT90 was used on the older SR/KA trans and is a little too thick for the Z33 trans. Basically takes the same GL4 fluids we're used to dealing with on all Nissan manual transmissions.

[Joobie610]

That looks really good!

Is it cheaper than the Mazworx kit?

Honestly, I didn't even look at pricing to begin with. I looked for the best kit and then it came down to cut and shut bellhousing, custom tailshaft, working out a Shifter solution, etc. I decided it was easier to just get it all through someone in Aus, and not have to deal with multiple companies. InsaneDrifters are about the only mob to do the whole bolt in kit locally.

In those pics he's running to mazworx adapter kit which requires you to cut the input shaft 3/8". His shifter sits center so therefore anyone who doesn't run that kit will have to assume the shifter will sit 3/8" farther back. Which it still looks like it would work just from eyeballing it.

[LoSt180]

Has anyone tried cutting the stock 350z driveshaft to work? Is it possible?


The stock 350Z driveshaft is carbon fiber, I don't think it can be cut very easily. A G35 driveshaft is the same 2 piece design as the 240, so it may be possible to merge the two halves. Just a thought, haven't looked into it and most people go for a 1-piece anyway.

[JDMS1lv1a]

Great information here, giving me confidence about doing this to my s15 SR...but these transmissions dont seem to grow on trees like SR's and KA's. Is buying new the best/only option? Its not a cheap swap to begin with so it seems going all out with a new one makes most sense?

Sometimes it's just better to wait and find a used one. I got my cd008 with only 12k on it for $400 on Craigslist. Just keep an eye out and search everywhere.

There are a lot more floating around than you may think.
Try LKQ or even Ebay using the part numbers
32010-CD00A


or
32010-CD009.





Another option is to literally buy a junkyard car from copart.com for like cheap as balls and rob the transmission from that.


OR
get a new one for $1800 https://conceptzperformance.com/nissan-oem-32010-cd00a-32010-cd009-manual-transmission-nissan-350z-03-06-z33_p_2887.php and not deal with any wonders.

Search Craiglist and such. Found a few low mileage (less than 60k) for CD009's going for $800 or less. Someone local to me beat me to the punch and picked one up for $450 with 25k miles....bastardo!

Sometimes it's just better to wait and find a used one. I got my cd008 with only 12k on it for $400 on Craigslist. Just keep an eye out and search everywhere.

JDMS1lv1a (http://zilvia.net/f/member.php?u=53475)
There are a lot more floating around than you may think.
Try LKQ or even Ebay using the part numbers
32010-CD00A


or
32010-CD009.





Another option is to literally buy a junkyard car from copart.com for like cheap as balls and rob the transmission from that.


OR
get a new one for $1800 https://conceptzperformance.com/nissan-oem-32010-cd00a-32010-cd009-manual-transmission-nissan-350z-03-06-z33_p_2887.php and not deal with any wonders.

Thanks guys. The search begins

Slight solution for the speed sensor. Personally, an app on my phone is better for me than this kit- but just wanted to show you guys what Sylas had found

[Kylepaschke]

OEM 240sx is 4 pulses per revolution

[roninwon]

Is that the mid mount or rear?

[TheRealSy90]

I think that a Dakota signal converter might still be required for the gps speedometer, but if not that's a good thing.

[RickS14]

Ending in cd00A is now the revised part number for the 009.

I know this is a CD009/CD00A thread, but I feel like we should bring up the difference in transmission models. Everyone seems to shy away from the earlier versions just because of the number on the side.

I'm personally using a CD001 transmission out of a v35 Skyline that has been upgraded with the CD009 synchros and throwout fork/pivot. Managed to get it cheap because of the number written on the side. The donor car had 60,000kms (40,000miles) when it was written off, and the internals look brand new (I was informed that the gearbox was rebuilt with the update kit not long before the car was crashed).

From what I can tell, the biggest issue with the earlier versions has to be the weaker throwout fork and longer pivot flexing, allowing the synchros to wear prematurely. That and people not knowing how to drive a manual.

Difference between throwout pivots:

New:

Old:
https://conceptzperformance.com/items/2478/medium/1.JPG

I can't find images of the difference between the forks, but from what I have read, the earlier ones are weaker.


2003 6MT
Double cone synchronizers in 1st and 2nd
No triple cone synchronizers

2004 6MT
Double cone synchronizers in 1st, 3rd, 4th
Triple cone synchronizer in 2nd

2005 CD008
Double cone synchronizers in 1st, 3rd, 4th
Triple cone synchronizer in 2nd

2005 CD009
Double cone synchronizer in 4th
Triple cone synchronizer in 1st, 2nd, 3rd

Gears not listed use a single cone synchroniser.

IIRC almost all of the transmissions made by Nissan prior to '99 used single cone sync rings almost exclusively. So as far as I'm concerned, there shouldn't be an issue running an earlier model 6 speed in your s-chassis as long as you use the upgraded throwout kit.

Please make note that the Synchroniser rings are generally a brass item that is made to wear. They aren't meant to be smashed into gear, they work like a clutch plate to lock the gears onto the shafts slowly, preventing damage elsewhere. They are going to wear out eventually with each gear change. This would mean that a city driven manual box with 50,000miles would probably be in worse condition than a highway driven box with 80,000miles.

TL;DR, if you want to drive like you're in the Fast and Furious, don't bloody whinge that your gears are grinding, buy a dog box instead. I hear Jericho's are cheap ;)

[TheRealSy90]

Just to post some more info in here, those of you using the Mazworx bellhousing kit MUST either change the pilot bushing in the crankshaft to the revised and shorter Nissan needle bearing, or cut the copper bushing shorter by 1/8". If not the transmission input shaft will bottom out in the crank shaft and potentially damage thrust bearings etc, even after trimming the input shaft stub in accordance with the kit instructions.


Also, apparently the Tomei stroker cranks require the pilot to be trimmed even further than 1/8" as the crank is not machined out as deep as an oem crankshaft. Meaning the needle pilot can't be used as it cant be trimmed.
As far as I know nobody has tried it with a BC stroker crankshaft yet.


Regarding clutches, the Mazworks bellhousing was built around a Comp triple plate clutch just to make sure that it should fit any clutch option you could possible have lol.

[roninwon]

This gps signal converter needs no additional hardware. That means no Dakota box.

Have you personally gotten this to work? How did you wire it? I'm under the impression that the s14 requires two signals to work

[2muchboost]

So I have searched high and low and have not come up with a clear answer. I know the CD009 can handle some good power but what is the "threshold" for it? I have seen them behind 1krwhp 350z in one video, behind an LSx in another, behind an 2J in another but again no clear indication to the sweet spot before it grenades.

[roninwon]

That must mean there is no threshold. These transmissions are infinite in power.

Hey guys, wondering if you have some insight on this. I am currently doing this 350z trans swap on my ka-t. I literally got everything in and then the starter doesnt fit... I am using the autotech motoring ka to 350z trans adapter plate. The starter hits up against the 350z bellhousing... I took apart a ka starter and used the starter gear as reference and it looked like a whole section of the bellhousing needed to be cut out! idk if the other adapter plates have this problem. The autotech motoring website didn't say anything about it.

[roninwon]

From what I heard you're suppose to notch the starter with a grinder or dremel

[Nismoboy1992]

[EDacIouSX]

Pretty awesome thread, great amount of information here. Thanks to everyone that contributed!

You cannot install a CD009 synchro set into a non CD009 transmission. It does not fit. I don't know what this "update kit" is that you're talking about but that trans was most likely rebuilt with the regular synchro set it came with. I asked the owner at Extreme Auto Concepts in Phoenix about this and they specialize in 350z's, he said he tried it before and the parts just won't work.

[TheRealSy90]

So anybody have a working speedo yet with the cd009 swap? I'm debating over which route to take on this.


I should be able to run a front abs knuckle sensor to get a speed signal from it.


Also LOJ offers a speed sensor kit that goes on the front yoke of the driveshaft, however at $300 it's a bit pricey.


This brings the question, better to pull speed from the rear/driven wheels or from the front wheels?
In the grand scheme it's best to have BOTH so that you can take advantage of traction control if your ecu supports it...


I'm leaning towards the driven wheels since that's how a regular s13 speed signal is pulled... But that's the most expensive route too.

[brndck]

/\/\/\/\ I plan on using this, but I have a stack cluster, may or may not work with oem

Like I said, I was informed that it was rebuilt this way, i didn't do the work or have it done. I would imagine that was the explanation given to the previous owner by whoever rebuilt it.

If someone else has tried it and it doesn't work, educated guess would be the cd001 rebuild kit has revised parts that mimic the Cd009 kit, strengthening it to withstand the same/similar punishment.

I bolted my Collins adapter to the SR this weekend and I'm a little confused about something. Collins instructions say to grind down the starter to allow clearance for the transmission housing. I've seen pictures of other people's swaps and I'm familiar with what is required. I was able to bolt my starter up without any modifications and it appears that it will work just fine. I shared some pictures with a buddy that has an older Collins adapter and its clear that the new plate is designed differently. Has anyone else used one of the recently released Collins SR to CD009 adapters that can confirm if that is correct? Collins wont reply to my emails or texts.

[TheRealSy90]

Seems like he revised the plate so that you wouldn't have to modify it. Isn't that a good thing?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[MattTenFour]

Absolutely. I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. The instructions that he provided did not reflect any changes to the design and said you have to grind down a portion of the starter. Just trying to iron out the details while the engine and transmission are out of the car and everything is still easy to get to.

It seems like Nissansota is running thicker JZ-CD adapters than us though. Our Collins adapter is a bit thinner than that and would move the shifter forward. Might still be a tad bit long.

[TheRealSy90]

But his adapter also uses a different bellhousing than the Collins adapter so without a measurement of overall length to compare to its difficult.

We just did a cd009 to rb25 in a r32 gts

Collins plate was ruff and no instruction at all . Machined down the bellhousing to accept the plate

Put every thing on the engin to figure out that the starter doesnt fit . Bellhousing need more grinding

With the rb25 kit . The transmission is clocked like 4 or 5 degre (dont know if its an accident by collins) so shifter is tilting toward the driver(rhd) abit

We installed 2 shifter . Firstly the serial nine

We liked it because we could fine tuned our shifter position with our tilted problem ... but shift throw is super short and super easy to miss 3rd or 4th for other gears ...


Second shifter and the one that is staying in GkTech

Shifts are precised and not to short ... realy what i was looking for . Reverse lock out that work 100%

Sit abit more back compare to serial 9 but were gona live with it since its a way better unit to our eyes

would love to hear how this was done if you used an AEM infinity ECU :)

Same here as I just bought an infinity myself. However I've heard it might be possible that the infinity can convert any speed signal internally and would make the dakota converter no longer needed.

The gktech is a nice piece I sold mine already because I want to keep oem interior. So I'm going with serial nine. Any one have experience with the cbf?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I thought the gktech required no modifications to the interior. Is that wrong?

It doesn't. I believe he is running the trans behind a Jz or Ls though. Gktech is designed for Sr.

Right a jz not sr with Collins plate on a s14. It could work but I want to keep it centered as possible and under oem shifter boot.

So I have searched high and low and have not come up with a clear answer. I know the CD009 can handle some good power but what is the "threshold" for it? I have seen them behind 1krwhp 350z in one video, behind an LSx in another, behind an 2J in another but again no clear indication to the sweet spot before it grenades.

Depends on what you do when you first hear wear signs.

I know of one, fitted to a 500+ Whp rb25 / ps13 . I think it started to whine a bit, after a couple of year of abuse as a pro drifting machine taking part in numerous european championships. It only needs new bearings.

If it can take that kind of abuse (it really IS abused), i cannot see a zilvian user destroy one. Unless it is not correctly installed.




Edit:

quick question here. I do not like plate adapters for various reasons, and am interested in the JWT kit. There is something i don't quite understand though. It requires an automatic bellhousing; but is it a Z33 auto bell housing, or a SR20 auto bellhousing ? Has anyone here installed one ?

Since i am using a CA18DET, i think i am getting in trouble here ...

Auto Bellhousing from the motor you are adapting to, IE SR- SR Auto Housing. Are the bolt patterns the same for SR/CA?

I'll see what I can do, I'm super busy lately, might have some time next week.

It uses the auto bellhousing of the engine you have. Idk if they make a kit for the ca18 though.

the serial nine cd999 shifter is what you are looking for.

i just picked one up myself. i'll snap a few pictures for you when i get a chance. but my buddy has been running one in his 700hp 2jz s14 for a bit now and its definitely the way to go for 2jz+cd into an s chassis. no cutting of the trans tunnel needed.

retains reverse lockout also.

i know they made a lot on their first production run and they are down to the last hand full already.

Everyone checkout my post a couple of posts earlier. Cbf is doing a group buy on any cd009 -> jz/ls/SR to an s-chassis. Pro series utilizes adjustable fore & aft as well as side to side.

[Johannes]

Jason's pro series will be similar to the serialnine cd999 shifter setup, except it's a fraction of its cost. $185 group buy of 50 vs $450.

this looks super janky to me.

the collins kit (the cut + middle plate) looks way better to me then this option. now if collins would get off his ass and make a plate compatible with the j3 housing we would all be golden. seems like everyone has a j3 housing kicking around but the j1 is far more rare.

[TheRealSy90]

It's not janky though. The Speedtek kits work extremely well and there's a championship winner that's ran one for over a year now with 0 issues. Just because it doesn't look so pretty doesn't mean it's not functional.

I think the gearbox side of the bellhousing is identical. Engine side is not. CA & SR are quite common here (s13 come stock with a CA, S14 with an SR) .

The flywheel is also different, as the SR has larger clutch area (i was told it can be installed using an S12 starter ).

I'll try to get some more infos. Thanks.

He does have one now. I think I got the second plate after the tester. The J3 is taller so the adapter is thinner requiring some notching of the J3 bell housing to clear the slave cylinder.

Rad to see taarks jumping in. All their products are top notch, and thoroughly sorted BEFORE release, unlike other companies who send you a part, then you have to send it back cuz it needs to revised or replaced.

Z34 Trans is comparable in price (in my experience) BUT I'm still wary of the internal hydraulic release bearing; I've read plenty of stories of them leaking badly. Sucks since you have to drop the Trans to change one out. I still have never heard of any advantage to using the internal one either.

Some people figured out with the offset of the s15 6sp style flywheel, it's easier to get full spline engagement when using an adapter plate.

If you go with the Mazworx bellhousing, it retains the sr20 fork, pivot and bearing, even on concentric/internal slave transmissions. Good option if you want one of those trans.

What air gap (clutch to bearing) are you guys seting up your set-up !!! On our racecar with internal release bearing we have it set a 0.200inch would it be the same for a fork set-up

[TheRealSy90]

With an OsGiken twin disc, they say to set it up with a 7-8mm play between the bearing and pressure fingers, to allow a bit of expansion room for when the clutch beds in.

Looks about the same location as mine, don't get a gktech relocation, it wont work, Either a CBF or a Serial 9 shifter should do the trick.

I'll be swapping from the gk one and going with the CBF this winter.

GkTech shifter works fine for mine and many other people's swaps. Both with the mazworx housing and with adapter plates.

Depends on the swap. with the 4 cylinder (KA, SR's) the engine doesn't sit as far back so many of these adapters work without cutting.

With in a inline 6 (2J, RB) space upfront is at a premium for cooling fans so the motors are typically sit much further back than with a 4cyl.

So while some of these shifters may locate the shifter near the stock location, you will still have to cut for the tower that comes out of the trans.

the only exception I've see with CBF's mid-mount set up which he discontinued due to high cost... around $650.

The pro-series CBF that is currently being tested may not require cutting as he has lowered the tower height. This may allow the tower portion of the shifter to sit under the trans tunnel and only have the shift lever stick out above. This is still being tested and about 2-3 months from production.

FWIW.

[TheRealSy90]

Okay well the gktech was never advertised to be used with straight six engines anyways. And CBF has another shifter that goes on the inspection plate of the trans that would probably work better anyways.

Here's where my trans sits with the new collins adapter, motor and trans mount.

It's about 1.5 inches from the firewall. I'll probably move it back another .75 to 1 inch back.

They may not advertise it as that but it is a z33 shifter, but that's why I said if anyone is running a I6 engine paired to a z33 trans to maybe choose a different shifter over gktech. Not because of quality or anything, just configuration. the amount of cutting to get it to fit, then with the shifter in reverse it almost hits the center counsol on the s14, granted I have my JZ pushed as far back as possible though. If you are not running interior I guess its not the end of the world for the location, but for me, I want to have the plastic bezel and shift boot placed back on and to have a somewhat OEM look.

What air gap (clutch to bearing) are you guys seting up your set-up !!! On our racecar with internal release bearing we have it set a 0.200inch would it be the same for a fork set-up

With an OsGiken twin disc, they say to set it up with a 7-8mm play between the bearing and pressure fingers, to allow a bit of expansion room for when the clutch beds in.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Could you guys explain how you make the adjustment? The Tob sleeve comes in different sizes. I thought all you need is the correct SLEEVE, which OSgiken provides:confused:.

That's exactly it, you order specific sleeves to set the depth of the throw out bearing.

And if you need a finer adjustment there's a place in the U.K. Called RB Motorsport that has thin spacers that press on the sleeve behind the bearing. But probably not necessary unless you're very particular.

Anyone here running and driving with a ka24? Just finished building my motor and was looking to do the z32 swap but now this is catching my eye to do. Should work out cheaper than sourcing a TTz32 manual. Can easily find a wrecked 350z-g35 down here for under 600.

Without including tranny I should be under 1k to just bolt it up right?

Colin Adapter + Clutch release bearing - 394
Gtech cross member(use my nismo tranny mount) and shifter adapter - 277
Steel drive Shaft -300 to 350.

TT and non TT Z32 trannys are the same, and a non TT tranny goes for about $250, just food for thought before you bury yourself in some debt

[R3b]

Not around here, most sell them local in the scene for 500-800 and if you look on
car-part.com the lowest ive seen is 300 and high as 700 but all the places are 200 miles away. I can find a cd009 60k tranny 10 miles aawy for 500-600 bucks all day.

I think 1.5k for everything swapped isnt a bad deal. Then in a few years or so when I swap out the ka and do a proper swap all I have to do is get the adapter and new shifter if its sits too far back.

Gktech z33 shifter with a Autotech Motoring sr to vq plate (bellhousing machined down .500in)


https://scontent-yyz1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/t31.0-8/14409831_10155312878569616_8036830776949230003_o.j pg




last week i did a sr to vq swap with the Autotech plate i had laying around on my friend s14 .


https://scontent-yyz1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/t31.0-8/14362468_10155271533274616_8447083105437179466_o.j pg


here are the spec i took of the transmission (http://www.eurocarparts.com/car-transmission) and engin to calculate the air gap that was needed in between is clutch and bearing

target was .300in !!! (I know on my paper i used .200 ! i though it was the same spec as an internal release bearing like on our formula d drift car... i was abit off . .300 is perfect)


we had to put a spacer or .400in inbetween the bearing and the carrier ... but from doing this the carrier we had wasnt long enought and the bearing had no more surface to seat properly .


to correct this situation we took the z33 carrier welded it back to back to our sr 24mm carrier ... cut away the portion where the fork attaches .


it looked like this
https://scontent-yyz1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/t31.0-8/14500748_10155306382214616_1458075442459893925_o.j pg


we machined everithing back to spec :
- outside diam. 40mm
- Inside diam. we left the sr carrier section un-toutch but the z33 portion we welded on had to be machined just abit loosser (from the weld line to the extremity) . that way it wasnt grabing on the shaft where it slides



slip on spacer was .400in thick (inner diam. 40.10mm) ... that way it can slip on without pressing it in for mantenance or to changed the set-up later on .

Then re-installed the bearing

Final air gap 0.290in perfect clutch engagement

Hey Guys,

It looks like the new AEM GPS speedo will be perfect for our cars.

http://www.aemelectronics.com/?q=products/gauges/digital-gauges/X-Series/GPSspeed

- It displays speed, heading and altitude.
- It has a peak hold feature
- it has a fast refresh (10 samples/second)
- Integrates with their ECU's to do track mapping.
- It has a VSS output of 4.444 HZ/MPH which translates to 16k pulses per mile (no converter needed) that our cars use. (someone check my math) so our factory speedo will work too. :hsdance:

At $154 retail it's a really cost effective solution too!

I'm still working on my swap, so it will be while before I try it. If anyone beats me to it let us know how it works.

[roninwon]

Only thing is more than likely people want the readout from the oem cluster.

This is how I wired mine up, but I don't remember if my notes where correct, I was in a rush finishing my car before SSC and just happened to get the input/output settings correct. Works perfect though. Probably will double check settings later this fall.

Anyone having Issues with the GKTech Shifter? ive got all it all assembled on the tranny sitting on a table. The problem that im having is the reverse lock-out, when i push the shifter down to engage reverse, it wont pop back up when in neutral, I have greased the bushing, lightly scuffed it with a file, cleaned up the inside diameter of the new selector (part bushing sits in) to no available. Ive even shimmed the spring a bit to increase the rate. Anyone else have this issue? if so any fix?

Mine does the same thing but was better after i greased it all up. I just have to lightly pull it up. Really doesn't bother me honestly, I don't use reverse that often lol.

Hello guys, is there something about the RB20/25/26 engines that make it more difficult to use these CD00x adapters. It seems only Collins Adapters sells one for the RB, even though the KA is so similar. I would like to get one, I just havent seen anyone successfully using one on an RB

From my understanding usually the JZ crew use these as a cheaper alternative to the R154. Unless you don't have a transmission I would keep the rb one.

I have both the CD009 and a Z32/RB hybrid. I would just prefer to have the CD009 6 speed. From what I see, the SR and KA guys use them, and there is one for sale for the RB, just cant find any testimonials on them. There will without a doubt be more CD00x adapters available in the coming years, as it seems to be becoming quite popular now. Im just curious as too why the RB is uniquely excluded by most companies, especially when all RWD RB26 conversions require a transmission conversion. Is there something different that I am missing, as I was under the impression the RB and KA transmission setups were nearly the same

It's because almost nobody builds RB's in the states therefore manufactures of conversion items have a hard time justifying the time and research needed to produce a product for a small audience that might not produce a profit.

Possibly, but not many people build VH's either and many companies sell one for that conversion. Would be nice to hear some feedback concerning the Collins Adapter for the RB, unless they didnt really sell many. I cant seem to get responses from Collins Adapter concerning the details of their adapter, so I am hesitant to buy.

Carl on nico did the swap a few years ago on his Rb30. Jwt sells an adapter but you need the auto bell housing to use it.

Thank you. I messaged him, however I have not received a response yet. The JWT setup is made for the SR and KA, but I think that the KA is so similar that it may be able to be used. The JWT requires cutting the bellhousing off, while the Collins Adapter requires 14mm of machining. The JWT setup also requires you to switch to an internal slave cylinder. It would be nice to hear some opinions on the pros and cons of these two styles of conversions. Thanks for the response

Exactly the same experience here. I inquired, I got a sentence response, replied, and have not heard anything since. For something as critical and bespoke as a custom transmission adapter, there should be at least good tutorials available if they aren't going to provide tech support.

From what I see, the SR and KA guys use them, and there is one for sale for the RB, just cant find any testimonials on them. There will without a doubt be more CD00x adapters available in the coming years, as it seems to be becoming quite popular now. Im just curious as too why the RB is uniquely excluded by most companies, especially when all RWD RB26 conversions require a transmission conversion. Is there something different that I am missing, as I was under the impression the RB and KA transmission setups were nearly the same

I bet no one makes an adapter for the RB because after the extra length of the motor, and the extra length of the trans, the shifter would be in the back seat.

Yet they sell for jz's.

They don't sell to many since 25boxes seem pretty stout from the get go really

A Supra/SC300/IS300/GS300 is much longer than a 240sx lol

[doyle4281]

These responses all further raise the question of why the RB adapter is so frequently excluded from many companies offerings. 2JZ, VH45, even toyota V8's are all less common than the RB26 conversion, however the adapters are more available. I'm not criticizing this, as business relies on demand, I just don't think that is the reason. Is there something unique about the RB's that make these adapters less straight forward. We know you can pretty much any transmission bolted up to practically any engine, that's not my concern. Its the input shaft issues, clutch engagement, and throwout system that is the complexity. Being that Collins Adapter is the only company advertising the RB to CD00x adapter, it makes me skeptical of its operation as nobody else is selling it. This is the most frustrating part of the equation, the one company offering a product with no tutorial, minimal details, and no proven application on their website

Speaking of RB, seeing how the collins adapter fits ka and rb, think my next project is to swap in a cd009 max out the ka around 500ish and later build an rb26 on the side. When the ka goes, just swap it in and call it a day with a nice single.

I did a swap on a rb25 to z33 in a r32 gtst last summer . My friend was blowing rb25 transmission every event . And at 800$ a piece around here its a non sence to keep trying to run them .

Collins makes a kit for the rb25/26/ka24de

http://collinsadapters.com/index.php/adapter-plates/rb26dett-rb25det-ka24de-to-350z-350zhr-370zransmission-adapter-plate.html

Wasnt an easy bolt-on like the one i did for my other friend in is sr20 s14 .

On the rb kit the shifter and trany it not 100% strait ... its clocked abit to the left . Nothing craze tho we left it alone like that . And we had to cut abit of the tunnel to clear the the gktech shifter .


I just did an other swap on a 13b with collins kit and nothing was working out . The website got corrected and we got a refund because its only compatible for a 20b or fd3s auto 13b . Nothing else .

[brndck]

i ordered a Collins kit 3 months ago.
still waiting for it to be shipped.
they do respond when i email though, some story about moving locations and having to re-set up machinery.

could be BS. I'm running low on patience but no one makes an adaptor for vk45/cd009

I decided to avoid all the issues I have been hearing, and went with another option. During my research however, I was told by Jim Wolf Technology that they will be releasing a CD00x adapter for the Vk/Vh engines. Its not a simple adapter like the Collins setup, it involved cutting off the bellhousing an using the adapter to bolt on an automatic bellhousing. Contact Ben over there, they may expedite it if they get interest

Almost made a thread for this but figured it will fit in here. I'm buying a new CD009/370z tranny for my 2jz s14 build.

Since I'm buying new I can get the clutch fork version(cd009) or the newer 370z version with the internal slave.

Now I know the internal slave is garbage and needs to be replaced with a $300 new one.

Pretty much what I'm asking is should I get the clutch for version or the internal slave version both new? Is the later model 370z version any stronger/smoother?

The later model has stronger synchros and has a 10mm smaller input shaft bearing than the first gen CD009

Do you have proof of that?
Because all transmission numbers are now cd00A
Just depends on internal or external slave because of model year.

Well the Wikipedia page for the Z chassis states that and we've taken several apart at the shop and the later model ones are beefier for sure.

I'm fairly positive it's broken up by VQ35de, VQ35de RU, VQ35de HR, VQ37, and VQ37 HR as far as when trannys got upgraded.

I know for sure that first gen 350z transmissions have a 100mm input shaft bearing, VQ35HR's have a 95mm, and the 370 has a 90mm. We sell adapter rings to be used for our bellhousing adapter here at the shop since our kit was designed for the first gen box.

You want the external slave, easiest to work with and since your buying new you will new buying the best updated version of the cd009.

[TheRealSy90]

If you're using the mazworx bellhousing it does not matter what trans you get as it works on all of them. And you can use either a fork or an internal slave.

You do need the corresponding adapter ring for the input shaft bearing as I stated but this is correct.

That last part isn't entirely true. The latest CD00x trans you can buy new is the CD00A version. This replaced the CD009. Early 350Z models had CD000 thru CD008 with revisions such as better/more syncros. CD009 has triple cone syncros for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd; whereas the original CD000 had double cone syncros for 1st, 3rd, and 4th, and triple cone on 2nd only. Basically avoid early 350Z transmissions since the syncros have all kinds of issues.

The 370Z and HR 350Z trans aren't technically CD0 trans anymore. HR and G37 trans is a JK41B, and 370Z is a 1EA0A(B). So if you want a new trans with internal slave, you'd have to order one of these new part numbers. A CD00A will be the standard external slave design.

They can be fairly interchangeable, the service manuals refer to both Z33 and Z34 as a "FS6R31A" type trans. Just make sure you know what you have, so that you can get the correct adapters if needed.

[fatduece]

^Good into. What upgrades does cd00A have that cd009 doesn't?

[LoSt180]

No idea. Tried searching, but only turned up vendors with a generic "newest revision from Nissan" statement. The syncros in CD008 and below and CD009/CD00A is the greatest difference though.

Does anyone know what throw out bearing, fork and sleeve the autotech adapter plate calls for? Also does this adapter require any additional modification other than milling the bellhousing 1/2" & the information listed in this heavy throttle post: http://www.heavythrottle.com/2014/01/15/new-product-release-autechs-sr20-to-vq-350z-6-speed-mt-adapter-plate/


I am running an OS giken twin plate also which comes with its own bearing but I recall a post on here mentioning possible issues with finding the right size release bearing for this swap with certain twin plate clutches.

Waited fringing 6-7 months for my parts from cbf performance shifter assembly to ultimately cancelling and going with gktech (which I should have done in the beginning). Getting my stuff tomorrow so I haven't done much with my setup as yet. Also need a good machine shop in central NJ for the milling portion if anyone knows any.

That could've been me that said that - have a quick skim through my build thread, I documented which release bearing I had to get for an OSG Twin Plate & Z33 setup.

Awesome! Thank you brother!

Kind of wish I never looked... Makes me want to burn my 240 to the ground T.T

[Koukiii]

Thanks for the responses guys. I'm planning on getting the 370z 1EA0B non rev match model since it has the latest syncro update. Just sucks I have to also pay for a $300 internal slave...

finally got a tracking number that works from Collins

Z1 Motorsports sells a conversion kit https://www.z1motorsports.com/z1-products/z1-motorsports/z1-clutch-concentric-slave-cylinder-csc-elimination-kit-p-7340.html
Or you can just order a new CD00A and not have to worry about it.

[RickS14]

So now I'm confused what the difference between the internal and external slave model other then the slave? I took it as they are all the same internally?
