correct...the R154 is only about 6-700$ and the 6spd starts around $4500.00...the 5spd will be just fine for me up to around 7-800hp then i know its gnna break...but since im only shooting for 5-600hp...i think i should be alright

Is it possible to mate a Z trans to a 2jz? I think it would hold the power as it has proven to do on a vq. And MUCH cheaper to get.

stein350z 11-20-2011 07:44 AM

ok thanx :)

id be concerned about the input shaft size, length, # of teeth, etc. im sure it could be done given the right amount of time/money invested.

Time and money anything can be done, of course.

I was thinking about it because if possible and if it could be done for under just say $2,000. It might be worth it as a used 6 speed Getrag goes for more than $2,000-3,000 easy. ( Just saw one for sale for $4,xxx Low Mileage)

How much more "reliable" will a Getrag be over a 350z Trans(I'll go with CD 009) at high power / torque. 800-1,000whp with a 2JZ for the most part will only see 600-700 MAYBE 800wtq.

For the price difference, if possible, I feel a 350z Trans (Example: CD 009) will do the job perfect holding that power/torque. With using a Z trans, it might be possible to keep the Z Driveshaft then as well. Going on if the Trans didn't have to be moved forward or back.

it would be really interesting to see someone do this! depending on placment, would also allow you to use stock trans mounts as well!

One of these nights I will try to look into it a little further and see what I come up with. And you are correct.

Looking good so far.
