VG-SR 5-Speed conversion question - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

GUNMETALV35 · 09-04-2011, 02:30 AM

I've searched all over here, other forums, Google etc. I can't find a straight answer so I'll ask it here at the risk of getting flamed.

Is it at all possible to just swap the bellhousing from an SR tranny onto the VG tranny?

I don't have both of them in front of me to compare the bolt patterns on the sandwich plates.

I understand that this must've been thought of or, maybe, even done before. I just want to hear from those more experienced whether or not this is feasible and what other things to consider if it is.

I'm asking all this because I'm debating rebuilding SR tranny internals with Os Giken parts or doing the Mazworx SR-VG conversion.

I understand the difference in costs so before responses fly off in a tangent, that's not the question.

I'm really looking for the easiest solution for holding high WHP and torque numbers (500hp and up) without going the really high-dollar, custom made route (i.e. GForce, T-boxes, etc.)

Your thoughts....

Why the hell would mazworks make a full conversion kit if you could just swap bellhousings???

negrosx13 · 09-04-2011, 03:30 PM

Google z32 transmission, all point to that.. note the z33 tranny is even bigger

When I was doing research on stronger transmission options I ran into a few threads on different forums talking about bellhousing swaps for different setups.

One of them I read had something to do with fitting the VG to a KA or something similar by just swapping bellhousings. It was very confusing so I searched more for answers and found nothing.

That's why I asked the question even though it seemed there would be an obvious answer.

best advice is to find someone that has done it by searching, and if you can't find anyone, then fabricate it! (just get a z32 tranny though, you'll be fine)
