Possible Z32 adapter plate group buy

[Mettler]

It's unfortunate that we all have to deal with different markets for parts. You'd be hard pressed finding a cheap Z32 turbo gearbox over here.

pls send me the details on your flywheel [email protected]

HI i havent posted alot on this forumn alot jus watchin and learning but your build up is my idol and im planing on doin the same in my own s14 over the winter my biggest mind boggle is going to be mating a transmission onto the vh and as i can see from this thread u have or know a machine shop that can do it. Is this still viable bacause as i see there was no givin adress or phone number to contact them or you.So what im saying is im definatley interested in the adapter plate and machining of the housing so if you could email me personally or post how i can send my bellhousing to u to have it modified would be great.

No, Im not saying do

What is everyone's fascination with the 300ZX gearbox? Other gearboxes can be used too.

What, you mean like the purpose designed, 7079 grade aluminium + high tensile wearplate friction insert, 5kg flywheel that I designed in 3d and built over a year ago, and have had on offer to Nissan V8 enthusiasts & NICO for about the same length of time?

Why waste your time when you can just buy one off me? I did the R&D, I bought the materials, I've got a full kit at home waiting for someone to buy it. I've proven it works mint in my conversion, and the flywheel survived quite a lot of thrashing in the period of time I was using my car, including many hard launches. It bolts straight up with perfect positioning & clearance, and even looks like a factory item.

Oh, and it provides the desired throttle response you'd expect from a sports/race engine.

I think I've done everything I can to offer a flywheel solution for people, if you're interested, I can e-mail you further details.

Nah, Im not saying dont use yours, but there are improvemnets that can be made and this would be in the interest of doing a "new" one. Having said that if i were in NZ and you were local I may have chased it up for my mates conversion Im doing, but alas you are too far away - I hate paying for postage.I have acess to CAD and professional drafter, as i work at an engineering company. There is also a CNC machine at my Uni, so as far as it being a monetry thing, i am better off to use my design and make it in house.

To anyone on here though, unless this is the sort of thing you're into dont mess with it, buy someones kit or pay someone to build it for u.

I dont really think I will be making more than 5, 2 for myself, 1 for reference and 2 for LOCAL sale. Its just too hard to try and build something and market at the moment.

In reference to all the other posts and adapter plates etc.*Full 360 deg plate is better*17mm is the ideeal thickness, 15 is FINE, but on paper it should be 17mm, not worth arguing over in practice.*The flywheel design i refered to was for performance purposes, mainly trying to convey the point that a cast flywheel is 'weighty' it is not advisable to machine(lighten) a cast flywheel, the material properties lend well to EXPLODING FLYWHEELS

anyway enough said, and there are many little "no-no's" that we all probably accept into our cars, ultimately these wouldnt make a whole heap of difference. But yeah, your car, your choice.

Ok, that'll teach me for skim reading posts while at work You were really refering to the flywheel and not adapter plate?, provided that your design works along side a michined down bell housing @17mm then I would be able to use this. As said before, I am trying to not introduce any more load on the flywheel bolts - by not using a flywheel spacer, and for interchangability/etc retain the std Z32 flywheel mounting thickness.

I have a feeling our two designs would be very similar. Probably put that one in "great minds thick alike",... or "two fools never differ"? lol the former rather than the later I hope

Is this GB a goer or up in the air. I am looking at one of these for my project 300zx and am real keen to get one.

Let me know

Whats the price at now? Ill need one very soon and have had trouble finding something for a cheap price....

Would it not be easier just to buy a big sheet of aluminum and drill it out yourself? and then cut it to fit?(Sorry if Im an idiot)

Or would it also be easy just to pretty much hack off the front piece of the Q45's bellhousing, then have the 300ZX's bellhousing milled down and then weld on the Q45's to that?

Low cost, and just as effective?

This is my first time working with such pieces so Im really curious as to how they work and whats needed and what isnt!

Sorry :P
