A huge thumbs up to you for your first start up. Can't wait to see some more vids and pics of it completed.

Small update,

Fixed all the leaks and just to prevent any future headaches, I ordered this:




It should take a couple of weeks to get here. In the meantime I will take the car to install the Whiteline front bushings and fix the downpipe since its touching the body.

Did you have an adapter you made? My buddy is running that adapter on his supra with my old 350Z trans, loves it, but will need a bigger clutch soon

Yes, I have one. But there is a vibration when revving the engine. We suspect it's from one of the flywheels or spacer.

This one use only one thick flywheel and no spacer and comes with ARP flywheel bolts which I dont have.

And I have the Southbend DXD-B I got from @gabe3d. Should be good to around 700Ft-Lb

I think that setup and clutch should hold you over for awhile

For the guys who ordered the Collins adaptor, what was the waiting time for the flywheel? Made the order in the 7th and he said 1.5 weeks to make and ship. To this day still nothing. I sent him a couple of emails but no response yet!!

I don't want to repeat when I ordered ball joints from one of the vendors in this site and he didn't send them. Its been almost a year!!

Mine took about 3 months to arrive and then it turned up without the clutch that had been ordered

I don't recommend ordering from him. He promised 1.5 weeks and its been over a month now. He doesn't respond to emails. I sent him a message in his website and an SMS and he said will send me a tracking number tomorrow and still waiting.

I may cancel my order and go with these guys. http://www.maverick-motorsports.com/...-adapter-plate

^ yeah I just received my adapter/ twin plate clutch kit from him about a month ago. it took me almost 1.5months to receive my package. But it did come and everything looks great. What I like about his latest revision of the kit is there is no need to machine the bellhousing anymore. It seems like he always takes along time getting things shipped, but I think he's a one man operation over there and this is a side type gig. I'd say just be patient. try calling him that's how I was always able to get ahold of him. Nice guy just a lil disorganized.

I don't mind to wait, I waited over 3 years for this swap. It just that he should have been honest from the beginning with me. The car is parked in the shop just waiting for this kit.

So you don't have to cut and weld the OEM one.




I already did the OEM one, but I did it wrong, it still about 1'' longer than what it should be at. This kit should get me there.
