KA trans on SR - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

HootAuto · 03-20-2006, 01:43 PM

Does that work, I have a buddy that says they work. Would I just need to swap bellhousings over? Would this be stronger than the SR trans?

Thanks....

same exact tranny, different bellhousing..ie swap them and you're golden

Angel · 03-20-2006, 01:49 PM

It works, have to change bellhousing, no stronger than sr. If you want stronger, go here http://www.mazworxracesupply.com/pro...dapter_kit.htm
and buy the z32 trans kit.

I have it and it is great.

kind of pricy for some metal parts

HootAuto · 03-20-2006, 04:08 PM

But it comes with the driveshaft, still, I'd rather burn through 5 $100 KA transmissions....at least that money is spread over time...just my opinion, nice lookin kit though

Your call, but I don't have to worry about tranny failures or spend an afternoon swapping in another 100 tranny only to find out that it's shit too....

HootAuto · 03-21-2006, 08:10 AM

Then again I'm runnin stock SR with stock t25....shouldn't be killing transmissions too badly...

crazybb · 03-21-2006, 09:50 AM

any ka tranny will work?? what about replacing the snycro?? what would be the same for those?

HootAuto · 03-21-2006, 09:58 AM

Replacing the syncro? No internal mods are necessary just bolt the gearbox up to the SR bellhousing.

Muzzy · 03-21-2006, 01:21 PM

i thought KA gearing was taller?

HootAuto · 03-21-2006, 01:26 PM

Probably is, but it still works! Plus they're a dime a dozen, so I'm not gonna worry about it.....

Dousan_PG · 03-21-2006, 01:31 PM

afternoon? tranny change takes 30 mins w/ KAs SRs. ka a tad longer

the z32 one is nice for sure but not worth it, imo.
just buy extra transmissions.

you can fix gearing diferences w/ a final drive swap. 4.3!
unless u shell out for OS GIKEN, then 4.6

It's RWD so 4th is always 1:1. I can't imagine it being changed too much since the final drives were almost all the same.
