At first I was like what a rip off. Ofcourse I went by the pic. You get Bell Housing and Driveshaft, sounds good to me.

I can pick up a VG transmission at the junkyard for nothing(300zxs are not respected around here) and wouldnt this open up so many more options for flywheels and trans upgrades? specially for state side people.

idk, not 100% how this adapter deal works.

PS super duper 6spd ftw.

all i can add is.......

we have one at the shop for a SR in a road race car and the owner complains that they only made it for the NA VG and that he cant find any replacement gears for different ratio final drives. but i have noticed that SR KA and CA trans are getting harder and harder to find/................for under $250. another note, the trans take a 400-450hp clutch kick beating for about half the season. SO unless you have lots of HP or beat the living sh@t out of your trans or you cant swap a trans yourself, i dont see the point (ive gotten trans swaps down to 40mins at a comp.). BTW Competition Clutch makes a bunch of clutches for the RWD CA...Im beating on a 6 puck sprung as of now and love it.

Where did you manage to procure said clutch? Mine can't handle 3rd gear clutch kicks no more.

The European guys constantly complain about how weak the CA Trans is. IDK they treat them though. Mine is freshly rebuilt, so I hope that I won't be needing a new one soon, but if it does go out, I was planning on a TT Z32 Trans, or maybe even a Z33

Better yet why not go with a T56, only then will you earn Torettos Respect.

My second gear has been on its way out all season, we have been clutch kicking it hundreds of times a week and it wont give up. I also like to slam into 2nd coming down from high speeds or slam into it as im coming out of first and most of the time it grinds till it goes in.
