Daunttless 6-speed question

Post by **RequiredAuto** » Sat Dec 14, 2002 9:38 am

Who wants a 6-speed? I do....Anyone know where i can find a good dog geared 6 speed that isnt gonna cost me more than 10k? prolly not huh? did any of the nissan north american models come with one that can be lightly fabricated to work with an SR or CA powered s13 chassis? Am i asking for an act of god.... im sick of the idea of not having top end. What about the subaru camp... i know Fuji Industries parts are sometimes interchangable so do any of there north american cars carry 6-speeds? Or even there STi transmission's maybe. I mean i'd prolly be cheaper to import a JDM transmission than buy one from Quaife for 15k plus..... Anyone got any light to shed on this..

HAHAHAH im retarded... asking for a cheap 6-speed is like asking for Pam Anderson to sleep with me for a hundred bucks or less. We'll its worth a shot huh...

This post is duplicated cuase Kcar doesnt like me.And kcar... how does telling off some inane newbies that don't even read posts before replying make me a tool?

HKS and Greddy both make a 6-speed sequential transmission that costs less than $10k

if you want a 6 sp transmission, why don't you get a s15 transmission? It's interchangable with the sr20det, unless you haven't got that yet.

The S15 6-speed is a waste of time if you plan on making big power. You will eventually end up breaking it because it's gears are weaker.

I've heard this theory from several different places. One of them was Heavy Throttle I belive...

they blow under power load in japan, 6 gears in the space of 5, less material per gear. Its not that its inherently weaker, its that its not as inherently strong. : )

cool, i never even realized i got flamed. i never checked back on that post. no, i don't know details about that kind of stuff. i just know the basics about how everything in a car works. i've never really got technical with cars until recently. I just said the VQ b/c it's obviously a 6 speed. I'm admitting i don't know sheit about high performance cars, that's why i'm here.

oh yea, and when i said VQ35, i was talking about the 350z transmission, not Q45.:rolleyes i don't know the technical name for that transmission, but i'm sure you guys caught on.

We've all heard the rumors. Daunt's theory is the reason behind them, but the Blitz s15 is putting more than 425hp through it (stock 6-speed transmission) with no problems. 425 is nothing to turn your nose at, considering it was rumored to self-destruct at 350hp.

Post by **Daunttless** » Sat Dec 14, 2002 9:38 am

I've never heard of it destructing at 350, they usually destruct 400-450hp. You also have to take into account that the Blitz driver is a pro, most people put a lot more strain on their components when they don't perfect their skills. Additionally, the 5 speed is known to handle 400-450rwhp. Hence the people believing its weaker. : ) Of course, it all depends on the driver, theres some people who snap axles and destroy rear ends at 300rwhp, it just depends on the way you drive. : )

True..... driver ability can affect longevity. I know a girl that can destroy ANY drive train! A Dana 44 rearend on her Jeep was no obstacle. The splines on the output shafts twisted down to needle points. Stock inline-6 engine and 32" tires were a little too much for her to handle. (Dana axles are known to handle 500+ hp spinning 40"+ tires)

1. Don't be an ***.

2. Yes, its true im not trying to spell very well.

3. I asked a legitamite question and got responses from people that had seemed to not even of read the post. Or had read the post and didn't really have anything valuable to add, but felt they had to reply.

4. Why not instead of getting in a flame war, you offer your opinion. Seens how your a moderator, I would THINK that you would have some knowledge on this subject or know some one or some where to go.

My theory on the six speed queary, lemme know if you guys think this would work as i don't actually know the math:

So if you wanted to have a high top end via a 6-speed transmission couldn't you ethier use a s15 6-speed or the HKS conversion kit and also match that with a taller geared differential....like a 300zx TT lsd? I don't know the numbers so its just a working theory but i thnk that might actually be a good combo, more gears kept short for acceleration but offset by the diff to become lengthier. thus creating a six speed that shifts similar to the five but with enough length that the sixth speed does carry you well past your original top speed, drag permiting.

Just an idea, tell me what you think

K-carYou are the master of flame, now apply some of that effort to the automotive industry. Flamming is retarded so i'm going to stop talking to you now, you win. Back to the real ****, cars. And I'm gonna keep being an *** to people who don't have any knowledge to shed on the subject. Im not here to play flamer online uber forum god. I am here to talk about cars, and im going to act the same way i do in real life here. If some one says something stupid then im going to let them know. If you don't like that, I'll take my knowledge else where. After reading through this board i've noticed there are only a handful of knowledgable people here anyway and i would do better with my time to go back to my freinds and contacts offline.get over your ego. and take a step away from the comp.

A please do take you KNOWLEDGE some where else, i am totally new to 240's and imports in general, so are most of the people here, and most that i know, Import tuning has had a short life compared to mucle cars, so there is a lot less know, so go talk to you other contacts, and see what they say, unless, they are nissan designers and mechanics, they proabably know a lot less than most of us, we don't need *** holes like you here giving us **** for trying to learn, in other words, don't post or reply again if you are going to be a moron.

k-car, thanks for sticking up for us who are here for a reason, not to waste air

I just cant get enough of the "Patented K-Car piece by piece flame." It really is what keeps me coming back.

Post by **mattback** » Sat Dec 14, 2002 9:38 am

what do you drive required auto.it sounds to me like you don't even have a car yet.

as far as strong six speeds that are set up for rear drive. the only one that i can think of that can take the abuse is germany's getrag transmsision which you will needa custom bellhousing for, or another custom bellhousing fun with the T56. both of those are h pattern and are strong as hell. but its not going ot be easy to make it work.

Why do you even want a six speed? why not just change your final drive ??
