Z32 gearbox on a S13 with ca18det - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Reuse the shift stick bracket from the Z32 gearbox. You have to cut out some small triangles from it, bend it to a Z-shape to fit the S13 under body and then weld the cut outs together. (borrowed picture)

The new short shift

A small change of shift stick position compared to the original (borrowed picture)

A plate to cover the hole at the shift stick (borrowed picture)

A bracket to hold the gearbox in place (borrowed picture)

Aligning the gearbox with the rear axle. Put a steel tube in the gearbox, aim it towards the centre of the rear axle flange and find the final position of the gearbox bracket. (borrowed picture)

Side view (borrowed picture)

Front view (borrowed picture)

The prop shaft. Mount the Z32 yoke in the gearbox and the original flange on the rear axle. Measure the centre distance between the loops in the yoke and in the rear flange. Use this measure and go to your local prop shaft supplier and have him to make your new prop shaft. The shaft rotate at about 10.000rpm at max speed so it has to be dimensioned for the forced and also balanced.

Some more parts belonging to the drive train:

Replaced the internal parts with a really good Deftforce LSD from ATS in Japan

The part number if you plan to buy one yourself. It is an easy exchange; out, move over the tooth ring, clean, mount new sealings, in, oil...ready

OS Giken Twin Disc clutch

Disassembled clutch (discs, pressure plate and flywheel in one lightweight unit)

Before switching over to five stud hub

The new hub set (is on the car now)

New rims on in the garage. Note the nice height of the fender...the 600hp engine is out meeting some new nice parts
