Anyone consider using some sort of engine-riser mounts to lift the unit up a bit? On one hand Im against chaging the ride height of my car, and also dont want to change the center of gravity by raising the engine. On the other hand, I do like the benefits of the Z33 unit and the incresead oil pan ground clearance. Would I be able to beat the trans tunnel into submission with sledge or would I have to cut and weld the tunnel to fit the riser mounts+CD009?

The everything cd009 swap thread.
The area that hangs the lowest isn’t nearest the engine. It needs to be raised at the gearbox mount as well. Problem is you’re already nearly touching the top of the Xmsn tunnel. So that will have to be cut and raised higher and re welded. Then all the exhaust and charge piping needs to be re done too.

On top of this, idk about you guys but I've got maybe a half an inch between the top of the trans and the tunnel so its not like it would make too much of a difference. |

Yea, I got something like that. If I really wanted to correct it, you'd have to cut out the trans tunnel, rasie the engine AND trans, I know we have some +- to the angle of the driveshaft, but to make it worth it, it would have to come up as a whole pretty damn high.

As long as the angle of the input u-joint and the output u-joint are the same then it's fine. Which is why the engine should ideally be raised equally both at the engine mounts and the trans mount, so that it stays "level" and the angles stay uniform.

Quick question...
I’m trying to do a cd009 on a RB26, do I use a RB clutch and flywheel setup or z33? Trying to run a twin clutch setup.

I have a similar setup( collins bolt on with a 2J). That angle makes it look worse than it is. I'm more worried about the oil pan so I'm getting this....

It's funny that my oil pan is above the front cross memeber on mine.

I'm using the GKTech crossmember btw and it didn't fit very well. Could be because my SR sits lower than stock? Is there a better option for a crossmember that will position the trans better so the shaft doesn't hit the shifter?

Honestly I think it has to do with whatever yoke is used when they build the driveshaft. I had the GkTech shifter with the aluminum 1 piece shaft that Mazworx supplies with their CD009/SR bellhousing kit, and the driveshaft yoke did not hit the shifter anywhere. I think there's two different size driveshaft yokes that these shops can use and one has a slightly larger diameter or something.

not enough to do anything (its not like the casting is a couple of inches thick, the bottom bolt locations also confirm this). it sounds like the only thing you can do here is raise the engine and trans (if the hood/tunnel will let you do that). not sure what that will do to COG and the other plethora of issues?

Driveshaft hit the weld on the start stop knot on mine, in hindsight i would have made it 3/8 longer. its minute so spacing the shifter up with 1 washer will work for me

Ah, so it's the brass bushing at the bottom of the shifter that hits? I haven't torn mine down yet but I had assumed it was the little L shaped link which can't be spaced up.

We did the 'ol in out, in out for a while to get it in. There also seems to be an offset to the shifter. The shifter us off center to the passenger side a bit. I can see the same thing in other people's photos. I spent some time trying to center the shifter before I realized the transmission WAS centered lol

The top of the trans is 1/8" shy of hitting the trans tunnel. It is as high as it can go. I don't know how anyone's is sitting higher?
