hi all, was some one looking for a adaptor kit for a 6-speed trany to z32...!

here the link http://www.jimwolftechnology.com/news.asp

 

The 350Z & Infiniti G came with a very strong 6-Speed transmission that is starting to show up more and more at the auto recyclers, making for a reasonably priced option for other high-powered Nissans. Unfortunately, it sports an integrated bell housing, making this conversion difficult at best. By scrounging an automatic tranny bell housing from an automatic that was fitted to the same motor you are adapting to, this adaptor ties everything together. Either the 07+ 350Z Concentric Release Bearing or an aftermarket C.R.C. (Tilton) can be used. The no longer used VQ35 bell housing is cut away and the new adaptor replaces the original front sealing cover. This adaptor can mount a 6-Speed to a VG30DE(TT), SR20DE, KA24DE, or VH45DE engine. Adaptors for the VK56 and others will be available soon after the release of this adaptor. Contact Ben for release date or other information. 619 442-0680

Oh this is interesting sounds like a plan

I dont think personally a zed32 needs 6 gears.The ratios are long anyway so 6 gears would be pointless.Youll get sick of gearchanging.

think it would be good should have a better 0>60 as the gearing would be not as long ...

but what about the final drive this would be a problem right ?

what if you have the power to warrant 6 gears though? may be a way to bring down quarter mile times

Interesting how opinion differs on this as there have been several ocassions where I've thought that the only real failing by Nissan regarding the Z32, was the fact that a 6 speed option wasn't made available.

 

Let's get some thoery and stats flowing fellas......

could make your 1/4 mile time slower as you might have to do an extra change before you cross the line.

 

Thats what was good about the fiat coupe. had a really long 3rd gear and would go to 110/115mph. great in a race :)

could do with the gear ratio chart for both box's

 

 

G35 box....................Z32.................Auto

1: 3.794:1............1st: 3.214...........1st: 2.784

 

2: 2.324:1............2nd: 1.925..........2nd: 1.544

 

3: 1.624:1............3rd: 1.302...........3rd: 1.000

 

4: 1.271:1............4th: 1.000...........4th: 0.694

 

5: 1.000:0............5th: 0.752

 

6: 0.794:1

Found a some info looks like the 6sp box has a slightly shorter final drive so top end wouldn't be the same

 

mid range gearing would be far better tho

Turbocharged zeds have wide torque ranges thats why only 5 gears are needed.6 speeds are more suited to modern turbo diesels and n/a petrol cars to keep them on the power.Imho it just isnt suited to a 6 speed box and it will only detract from its driving pleasure.3rd and 4th are so tall gears it just aint necessary.An extra gear would just be a pita after a while.They will do 185mph using the 5 speed so i just dont see how a 6 speed box from a slower non turbo car is an enhancement ?

i would rather stick th400 in :) http://bde-performance.com/th400.htm

only if I have the money, I would have this one....!

QBE60G

60G 6-speed heavy duty in-line RWD sequential STRAIGHT-CUT gearbox, with Nissan 350Z fitting kit

The new Quaife 6-speed heavy duty in-line RWD sequential gearbox has been designed as a direct replacement for the Nissan 350Z gearbox, and incorporates a modular gear cluster on 80mm shaft centres.

 

Quaife has returned to its first principles with this new heavy duty in-line gearbox, opting for a cutting edge, clean-sheet design. The result is a new 6-speed sequential unit, the QBE60G, which weighs in at just 38 kilograms. (plus bellhousing and gear lever mount)

 

Designed for rear wheel drive applications capable of handling up to a maximum of 300 lbft and 375 bhp, the QBE60G offers ultra-rapid and smooth gearshifts, allied to superior strength and reliability, and even features paddle shift compatibility.

 

The Quaife 6 speed heavy duty in-line RWD sequential gearbox has been designed with open face dogs on both the gears and drive discs to allow for easier gear inter-changeability.

 

The Quaife 6-speed heavy duty in-line RWD sequential gearbox has a drum type sequential gearchange system which produces a positive engagement with the gear lever position options.

 

 

 

QBE60G customers can specify long and short input shaft options QBE60G according to customer preference and three ratios sets are available, in either straight cut or helical tooth forms.

 

This gearbox has a NEW bellhousing and ger lever mount to fit the standard Nissan 350Z positions.

 

The QBE60G uses standard Nissan clutch and release bearing (not included) and standard Nissan output flange pattern.

only if I have the money, I would have this one....!

That ain't the best for power mate.

 

Going back to the 350Z box, don't forget these were plagued with problems in 2003/04 with many replaced under warranty and even some still needing changing a 2nd time!

 

Lot of money for this route for very little benefit IMO, i've always belived our boxes to be very strong, age is not on their side now of course, but other than that...................
