Paid AUD $2350.00 including shipping.





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.

That looks really good!

Is it cheaper than the Mazworx kit?

Could I ask you a question. What rear diff did you end up running with the jz swap?

Wow, I haven't looked at this thread for ages. I run an SR20 in a '97 180sx.

It comes with an R200 ABS longnose diff from factory. I'm using the ABS sensor in the nose of the diff to pickup the speed, R32 extended rear (for extra oil/cooling), 2-way (Tomei I think), R32 5 bolt half shafts and brake setup.

My driveshaft was custom made to suit the application as part of the kit.

[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).

Gotta pay to play dawg! Thanks for the heads up. I messaged them so I'll just have to wait.

Hey all,

I've had this transmission in my car (S14Sr in an S14 chassis) for about 4 years now. So glad to see a thread like this.

Current Setup:
-Collins Adapter
- Gk Tech Shifter Kit
- Shaft masters 1 pc steel driveshaft
- Dakota digital box
- J30 pumpkin w/abs signal

The biggest issues really for me are shifter location and speedo.

Shifters used:
- Collins shifter "modification services"- Complete failure and i dont think he even offers this anymore.
- Mazworx- Great piece but doesn't shorten the trans enough to put center console back to stock. (Still have this if someone needs to buy one)
- GKTech- Amazing build quality and customer support. Still doesn't not bring the shifter in enough to close up the center console. Does have a bit of a rattling issue.

Speedo
- In it's current state it reads and my speedo fuctions but it is off about 25-30 mph which is obviously not ideal. Every possible setting has been played with on the digital box but it looks like it just doesn't play nice with the J30 ABS sensor.

My goal is to have the center console look stock again. It looks like the only way that is possible is with the CBF or Serial999 unit which didn't even exist when i did this whole thing.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions! It was a PITA to do but i honestly love having it given my current power level. It gives a tone of piece of mind.

I was planning on cutting my GK Tech shifter and adding a dog leg to it so its in the stock location. Have you tried another abs sensor? I was contemplating just swapping the 350z diff in

Yea i thought about cutting the shifter and modding it to center it too.

Not sure how similar the ABS sensor for an old J30 pumpkin would be compared to a different one/newer one. I have an s15 helical diff in the J30 pumpkin so i'll have to make due with what i have for now. The GPS option seems to be my best bet since i already have the Dakota digital box.

Rbs14 kouki im running a twin disc clutchmasters clutch for an rb on my ka that was ordered through enjukuhttp://www.enjukuracing.com/competition-clutch-184mm-rigid-twin-nissan-skyline-2-5l-push-style-clutch-1989-2002/ . After taking measurements and finding what throw out bearing retainer was needed and putting a bolt through the clutch switch for a pedal limit success!

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.

Hey sylus good to hear from you again. Yeah mazworx hasn't corrected the shifter problem yet but we've commented a lot about better shifter options on the first page.

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.

That hole is part of the reason I went ID. With our modification laws, it will make life easier if I get sent over the pits.

[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.

[TheRealSy90]

We gotta get our kits installed so we can start making more videos of 6sp sr20's lol.

I'm still a long way away. My build is still on IMS. although that's a dead site now.

[jerry_beans]

Awesome thread! I'm sub'd as well

[RickS14]

It's odd that some plates don't have dowel pins. I would think that's pretty important as far as install and it being lined up correctly.

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

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.

Does that bellhousing adapter take some of the length out of the tranny?

You must cut the input shaft for this kit

[Mister.E]

Errr nevermind...

Just realized that Maxworx does not have a bellhousing conversion kit for the JZ motors.

If the link didn't work just search kgarage_sr20vets on instagram.

[roninwon]

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.

[Drftr915]

Can someone line me up with GBF Performance?

Also am I the only one who can never get ahold of Maverick Motorsports?

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


PARTS I HAVE:
- CD009
- Autotech motoring adapter plate

PARTS NEEDED:
- shifter mod
- cross member
- driveshaft

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.
