Yeah i simply feel like he doesnt understand the whole tuning thing. Which is strange because hes real experienced with cars. hes older though. I wouldnt have him install supercharger if it needs a tune. youre making it sound very appealing and safer

 

You could add the supercharger, but keep the belt off without the tune. I couldn't find any documented cases of blowing an engine under 350whp

 

i looked it up and the price of the supercharger is even higher than i thought. I cant even do that so soon lol. I still feel like if i had that kind of money, i would get an engine built to withstand alot of power and be badass. Then i would try to get more money for FI, maybe even after driving the built engine some by itself and trying it out.

 

Yeah, that's good advice. I did that to one of my Zs - WITH FI - to go racing but they put me into the Ultra Max Super GT/FBA class so wasn't too competitive. Was fast though, when I was able to keep it on the track. Didn't matter though, IMSA booted me out when they found out that my roll bar inspection hole was drilled into a 6" exposed section by the door, the only steel tube on the entire cage, the rest, old paper towel rolls covered in pipe insulation. Hey, how was I supposed to know the entire thing was supposed to be steel? They told me to "RKFM", whatever that means.

But yeah, those Ferrari engines are plentiful in the pick n' pull.

 

You know what? This will decimate all after you put about fifteen grand in it or more.

 

i didnt understand exactly what engine you were talking about on that one. seems like you all are playing around anyways lol.

Today was a nightmare. shop left me a voicemail in the morning and i called them back. They said that the transmission is warped, and faulty from casting, off by 1/4 inch. They said they tried twice to put it on and something cracked second time. They said they already put a decent amount of hours into it, and im going to have to pay even more hours to put old one back on, and they cant keep it on rack forever taken apart..

socalz said thats an oem part shipped strt from nissan "let me check though". and i sent them these pics my shop provided holding a straight edge.





my car rental is extra expensive being summer at 300 a week.

 

That sucks. Maybe after they put the original trans back in and properly align the shifter plate, it will shift smooth as butter.

 

I was thinking they couldn't get the shaft in the hole. That's tranny shaft into the crank hole you pervs! (I know where Trav is gonna take that TOTALLY INNOCENT sentence on my part). <snort> Shaft butting up against the edge of pilot bushing. But wonder what cracked? Probably just the bell housing. You know, "lined up one bolt hole, threaded it, and torqued that sucker trying to pull the tranny shaft in!" Oooops.

 

put some hair around it... for you old guys that like **** carpet....

 

Toldja. Thanks for holding up your END. <Laff>

But I thought you were heading down Caitlin Ave. like you always do. Good to stay surprising.

 

OK, OP, I made light of the situation but wasn't kidding. The input shaft won't line up if the clutch wasn't aligned and I've heard of broken bell housings before because of similar hamhandedness. Problem is that the CD00A and most transmissions nowadays are monocoque, no separate bell housing. Hope it's not that and something simple, like a cracked clutch disc face or something. Easiest thing to fix.

 

op is in TN... wonder where Dylan Mulvaney lives..... give it a ride and have a new tranny in the car.....hhaha

yes OP we get off topic many times

 

Monocoque? As in only one coque? I don't know if Dylan would like that very much.

 

he/she/them may be no-coque

 

so it could be the shops fault? and maybe i should tell them what you said? they claim its warped and seem to be not taking blame for it..

edit: btw i had them put aftermarket clutch and flywheel in

 

This sounds like the makings a huge clusterfck with everyone pointing fingers at the other.

 

no lol, all good on the clusterduck. I went to shop and it looks like duck. its all wavy on side its not just one ear. and unless i misheard him, they changed their story to they hand tightened it, and it was already cracked. maybe miscommunication from mechanic to owner this morning. i dont see any bolt marks and doubt it was impacted.

I do have one question guys and the mechanic seemed curious. so my new irp shifter has its own built in pivot for all directions, unlike the old shifter in photo 1. In photo two, is the bottom of new shifter. He said he cant even attach it to the shifter support bracket (that i bought cheap solid bushings for lol). So he plans on mounting the new shifter to the body of the car, and attaching it to the trans just like in photo 3. He said there will be more torque to the shifter or something and hopes it wont throw it out of gear, but its the only way he sees to do it. Shifter support bracket looks like a brace to me. i sure hope everything will be tight w out it and my 500 dollar shifter u all told me not to get lol

 

here is a pic of the piece, they will be completely removing from my vehicle tomm.

 

Well, couldn’t follow your comments about the shifter but this pic is the tail assembly from a later model CD009/CD00A/JK40+ trans, likely with the CD02 case. Which means…. You already have one in the car.

So now what? I am incredulous that a Nissan trans could be THAT screwed up from the factory. Something strange is happening there. Hmmm…

 

well i know that "tail assembly" or "shifter support bracket" or whatever its called, is there. Its just my shop says its incompatable with my shifter and i dont need it, they plan on removing it. I just wanted to make sure i dont need to freak out and tell them that they need to modify it and keep it somehow. it will save weight but i get scared just taking stuff off.

yes really strange about trans. i have more pics but didnt want to bog down thread
