Do you still have the 4.08 gearing with the cd009? Isn't that crazy short? |

Im returning the fans to JEGS. Im using the OEM s13 diff with the cd009, yes the gearing is extremely short, its okay for drift events but daily driving its annoying. 1st gear is nearly not usable, its like 0-6mph unless you floor it to limiter at 15mph... Im switching to an early Q45 diff thats 3.538 which is exactly the same gearing as a 350Z

UPDATE:
I finally just pulled the head to check head gasket and didn't really find any issues with the gasket but the coolant passages in the head and block were almost completely clogged with rusty shit-dick, I took the head to a local bad-ass machinist to a check-over and deck job. He found only 0.003" warping but when he decked it he found 0.005" low spots around cylinders 2-3. My spark plug for cylinder 3 had a slightly pink tint to it from my toyota red coolant so I assume that was the issue. He replaced my valve stem seals, check valve seals and found they were good and did not need valve grinding so he just lapped them and check all clearances, which were great. I have the head back now all clean and pretty, just waiting on my head studs to come in the mail and then I will be washing out the engine block and installing the head with a new OEM MLS head gasket and getting the car back together asap. I'm working on LCA's knuckles, and custom tension rods for angle and I will post more details about that once I have it all worked out. |

I ended up ordering head studs from DriftMotion...
I got the head decked, valve job, shim job, new valve seals, new OEM head gasket, ARP head studs, and a new Koyo N-Flow triple pass radiator to try to fix this overheating issue. It appears to be good now! I have only driven the car 2-3 miles but the temperature stayed below 175 last night after doing a couple pulls spinning to limiter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqAzJRkheSc ___________________________________________ |

Awesome build man, love the black on white engine bay, very stealthy.
im building a 1jzvvti s14 right now Got a few questions if you dont mind. Mainly how do you like the cd009? did you happen to get the q45 diff and try out the new gearing? Did you get new valves when you did the head? Have you heard anything about upgraded springs in the vvti? also are still you running stock injectors? |

I own a Q45 VLSD 3.538 but I have not installed it yet, the gearing in the cd trans is great for drift events but shitty for daily driving, unless you like shifting alot lol I did not need to replace any valves, I have no need for more power or stronger engine parts so I asked the head shop to make it solid and reliable like new. He lapped my valves but didnt need to grind them because they sealed well. I have never heard of upgrading valve springs, so my car doesnt need it. lol I am running bone stock everything on my VVTi 1JZ, injectors, MAF, turbo, manifold, boost pressure, ECU, all factory everything. |

Leaky Injector

For what it's worth, I used mavericks plate and flywheel on my 1j/cd9 cressida and I would not recommend them, thing would not align properly and ate through pilot bushings.

After 11 months of overheating issues, I sold the 1JZ setup for $5,000 then parted out the shell and bought a 350z only to realize later that the 350z cannot replace an s13 in my heart so I traded the 350z for my old s13 which now has a stock KA in it. I am working on the car now and I will make a new build thread to show everything happening. It will be staying KA no swaps planned ATM.

Only problem with maverick is missing alignment taps in gearbox side. Gearbox bolts isnt fully center and thats why every engine/gearbox have centering pins. Now gearbox isnt straight... Collins have centering both side like should be with no worries! Thanks |

I noticed that with Maverick the other day. Would removing the pin on the gearbox or shaving it down cause issues? I think not since the pins/holes are there for the JZ, plus bolts will keep it aligned... Right? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Same reason why need centering rings or right size center hole in wheels. Because wheel bolts doesnt center wheel 100%. Remember stock car have only one pair of pins (center engine to gearbox) because there isnt adapter plate. When you add adapter you need one pair for engine and one for gearbox. (center engine to plate and plate to gearbox) Maverick plate is only 10mm and need flush kind bolts for this reason, they dont center anything (and plate has engine side pins already centering). But when you dont center gearbox with 100% with pins it can (and seems to be) slighty off and cause problems! Sorry for my English skills its not my first language! |

Its almost useless to center one side, when other side doesnt aligment fully. (bolt holes arent 100% correctly center never in gearboxes) |
