just ordered my CD999 shifter relocation from SerialNine
My harness is back, since I started this build I purchased 2 other s13's one is a quick flip project, the other is a single cam 5-speed car with cold AC that hit a curb doing 50-60, ripping the strut tower away from the frame rail, I will be repairing that car and selling the other. |

Its been a while since I posted an update but ALOT has happened!
My SerialNine CD999 shifter arrived, its AWESOME! I started cutting my SC300 clutch fan blades down to clear the radiator hose. I gave my friend my welded differential for his KA powered coupe daily driver so we could go drifting so I bought a few from the local junkyard when there were S13s there and welded 2 of them up this past friday at work, pictured below. I made a junkyard run for a 1999 Lexus GS300 NA 2JZ VVTi and bought the crank angle sensor, cam position sensor VVTi solenoid, igniter chip, throttle position sensor, and the oil dipstick. The TPS is not the same as mine but all of the other sensors are usable. I've been having a problem with my engine running like ass, my wiring harness had some issues and I had to return it and get some repair work done but its back now and all good. I started by changing the MAF sensor, didn't help. Then I changed the igniter chip, didn't help. Then I changed the cam position sensor, didn't help. Then I changed the VVTi solenoid, didn't help. After being frustrated as fuck, I gave up for a few days until my friend recommended checking the idle air control valve, which I didn't think was an issue because I am pulling 20-25" vacuum when its running. It turns out my IACV was stuck open, or whatever controls it ins't working, so once I capped the IACV my engine now runs perfectly. YAY!!!!! This was discovered about 30 minutes ago. Today I reinstalled my subframe with the new DIF brand bushings, and the SPL eccentric bolt lockout kit. I also installed the spindles, axles, differential, driveshaft, serial nine shifter relocation, and brakes + wheels. New tires arrived!

Based on how you currently have it setup, it could fit with little to no cutting what so ever, if you had ran electric fans you would have gotten a bit more space, how does the shifter feel by the way? Smooth? Thinking of getting one

Okay, so after a CRAZY week of 2-4 hour nights of sleep and working 5am-5pm, i got my car put together in time to get to LoneStarDrift Round 6 in Houston, Tx this past weekend.
the car was GREAT! The only issues I had over the weekend were: intercooler coupler came loose, vacuum cap came off, and I don't have a reliable temp gauge at the moment, so I was using an infrared thermometer on the head and I never got over 209 after 2-3 hotlap runs, and thats with NO fan shroud, NO electric fans, JUST the SC300 clutch fan with trimmed blades to clear the radiator hose. I went with redline MT-85 in the transmission, with the serial nine shifter, worked GREAT! this setup can spool 6psi of boost FREE REVVING in neutral! hahahaha i love it I used up some spare tires, I had no alignment, no racing harness, stock seat, no hydro e-brake, and it was my first time driving this car with the 1JZ. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHR9KNKKAOQ |

I don't give a shit about cutting, I give a shit about my engine staying cool during hot-lapping at drift competitions... I specifically built the front end to incorporate the superior cooling power of the clutch fan. The shifter feels solid, it does not feel like an OEM KA/SR shifter, it pops into gears firmly, not smooth like a stock trans, but I have never driven a 350Z before so idk what the trans should feel like.

got a question for you. So, im lining my build up now. Basically, same setup. Im looking at adapting the cd0 to my 1j. You used the maverick adapter and had the bellhousing milled correct? Is this the current adapter they offer and what flywheel, clutch etc did you use. Trying to figure this all out. I have a machinist friend who can mill the trans. I would rather go this route then $995 for the adapter and the flywheel they carry that bolts on with no milling.

I have the maverick adapter plate. I'm using a Spec lightweight flywheel made for a twin disc setup on a MK4 supra with a corresponding Spec twin disc clutch. My bellhousing was milled, I don't know how much was removed. Im using an OEM 350Z slave cylinder with an adapter clutch line sold online, just google it. If I remember correctly It's Xcessive that makes the clutch line, not 100% sure though. It used the OEM s13 clutch slave cylinder and that all works perfectly. I made my own transmission crossmember, then called Shaftmasters and gave him the measurements I needed. Aluminum 1-Piece $400 shipped I'm also running the serialnine CD999 shifter relocation and It's AWESOME. My shifter sits in the OEM location and uses an OEM S13 shift knob. haha |

UPDATE:
The car is awesome, I just solved an overheating mystery after TONS of testing, research, parts, and most of all $$ MONEY $$ I had a couple tiny leaks on in the cooling system that were giving me some weird and inconsistent overheating issues. Like 1 pull would take me from 190F to 240F... I ended up switching to 2 1650CFM SPAL 12" puller fans during the overheating problems trying to figure out what the problem was. I will most likely be switching back to a clutch fan setup ASAP. I'm also running a mishimoto thermostat, Koyo Triple Pass radiator, 2 5/16" thick, 2JZGTE water pump, and a 16LB 300zx TT radiator cap. I snapped BOTH of my axles in half 2 days ago launching from a stop WAY too hard starting a burnout. Im using OEM s13 axles and a welded S13 diff with an aluminum driveshaft and my CD009. I changed axles yesterday and the car is all good again! I will be driving in Lone Star Drift this year if I have the money, I'm going to get my roll cage done ASAP. I have 2 other s13's at the moment, which I will be selling ASAP to pay off JZ debt. |
