[ZFreak]

Thanks guys!


Here's the transmission:
- RB26DETT AWD Bellhousing
- 300zx Transmission (bolted to the RB26 bellhousing... it works.. crazy, right?)
- 300zx Transmission mount, driveshaft, and differential.
- RB26DETT Flywheel
- Non Turbo 300zx Clutch and Pressure Plate
- RB25DET clutch slave cylinder
- 300zx clutch Pivot Ball

...and it all works.

A unique mixture of parts indeed. I like how some manufacturers use parts that are interchangeable even when it wouldn't appear they could, so awesome for us petrolheads.

An NA Z32 clutch disc puts that much through the box? Stage 3+?

The clutch can hold either 750lb or 850lb ft of torque... I forget which, but it's more than enough. Yes, they make non-turbo clutches that strong. It's a RPS clutch.

I’m sorry but this is by far the sickest 300 I have seen in my 29 years on this earth. Thus, the sickest Nissan Z car I have ever seen.

I love how understated it is on the exterior, just tasteful upgrades that let you know it’s a serious car. And a swap that backs that up. Just love it.

WOW! the engine bay looks so clean!! It looks like thats how it should have come from the factory! Amazing job!

If there is ANYTHING I can suggest, is a bit lower and back to the dual exhaust.

This is an incredible project, that is worthy of ROM status on many Forums.

Absolutely clean build you did, love the engine bay and the moddest exterior work.

The numbers are very impressive as well, what are your hopes for peak numbers?

This Z is so full of win....makes me wana do something with the wife's Z. If only I had $$$ and skills.

Even stock Z32 TT feels powerful to me, I can only imagine how fun your Z would be.

I wish I could go lower, but I can't. The "new" front sway bar actually is the lowest point on the car, and it is literally 2" off the ground...and just above that is the oil pan. I'd rather scrape the sway bar than the oil pan!

The exhaust will be handled shortly.

I have a full-race ($2800) manifold ready to go on, but I will get a 4" downpipe and 4" exhaust (back to a dual 3") made at the same time.
