The everything cd009 swap thread.

[brndck]

Just an update for anyone wondering the chase bay banjo hydraulic line fixed my problem!

hooray! post pix.

[Jorgs_7]

Alright gentlemen it is time for me to transition away from the stock SR gear box.

Has anyone figured out what "the move" is for financial sake? Curious if you mix and matched maverick adapter with serial9 shifter, and so on.

The real question is, who has done this on the tightest budget? Id be surprised to get it done for under $2,000 USD.

[D.Bo]

I've made a list of parts and prices I need for this swap. I'm trying to buy parts when there's online deals available since I'm in no rush to do this swap. I luckily picked up a cd009 for $300 but this is my current parts list of what I need to get for the swap. There's probably random things along the way I'll need to buy, but adding up the stuff total right now is $1275.

Parts
Autotech adapter plate $300
Gktech shifter $249
Gktech trans mount bracket $76
Driveshaft $350

I did the math and considered the headache involved

Just buy the Mazworx bell housing kit. By the time you add up adapter plate, machining, clutch slaver, shift bracket, etc etc, you would have already bought the Mazworx kit. The Mazworx kit may come out a few hundred more expensive, but the time spent not sourcing parts, etc, is time saved making money elsewhere......or not pulling out your hair when an adapter plate didn't come with a dowel lol.

Some things are just worth not dealing with the headache.

However, doesn't matter now. Mazworx is on back order lol

I am with RalliartRsx. If you don't want to pay for labor and machining, then just straight mazwork. Basically trace, cut housing, bolt, up and plug and play. easy.

Just get a different shifter.... I went with the GKtech, but it sits a bit further back. Should have went Serial9 but didn't want to wait

[RalliartRsX]

I went with a hook shifter. They have a few left in stock

Found a CD008 trans for $270. Had to bite the bullet and get the Maxworx kit too. It is the best choice.
Could have saved ~$200 by piecing together with autotech adapter, but I am already over fiddling around with bell housing removal & machining.

Will update how the Maxworx shifter pans out too. Going to stick with that till I can re-coop finances.

Does anyone have feedback after actually using the Mazworx supplied shifter? I've heard some hoop-la about the 5th gear synchro's getting worn prematurely and the unit being some ebay junk.

[Sr20-Vert]

What final drive should I be running in my diff with this cd009 my s14 has such short gears with it .... I want longer car makes to much power i have to shift way to fast

I switched to an s15 3.69 gears. It made driving at 75 so much better.

Anyone know if the GKtech shifter uses an size OEM shifter bushing? After many 8k shifts with the Kswap it dropped the metal shifter bushing while driving... the metal bushing is to harsh with my solid mount setup anyways. The motor mounts as some polyurethane leaf spring bushings and the tranns is a Megan, nearing red line it'll rattle the shifter loose pretty quickly.

Good question. When revving out my SR20 and CD9/GKtech shifter combo, I can hear the bushing rattle unless I apply a small force to the shifter...

I used moly grease too, maybe just not enough?

[foreverdeath]

I only lubed the plastic part cause it was stiff.

I have a feeling its the same KA/SR/RB bushing but I dont have one to try right now.

I though the sensor on the 350z diff was a speed sensor not abs ?

[brndck]

z33 diff has an abs sensor on each axle stub shaft. You can use this as a speed sensor to a Dakota digital box or something similar.

[RalliartRsX]

same same. Tone rings are used for speed calculation which the ABS uses as a reference to measure wheel speed to activate the ABS.

Nylon. I've gone back to brass from a SR trans as the nylon started to split. I wonder if the shifter hole is slightly bigger then a ka/sr shifter bush.

What trans fluid is everyone using?

[RalliartRsX]

Mixture of Shockproof and MT90 (2 parts MT90 : 1 part shockproof)

Bouncing off the 8K rev limit in 3rd gear and I experience no lockout.

[LoSt180]

What trans fluid is everyone using?

Redline MT85 is what's recommended for the CD/JK trans. MT90 is a little too thick and causes notchy shifts. Still the same GL4 requirement we're used to on the SR/KA trannies though.

Hey guys, I’m working on a vh swap with a cd009 and was wondering if it matters if I go with a 03-06 z clutch or 07+ clutch, I’m going to most likely use the Collins adapter and it says I use a z33 flywheel and clutch, and I found a good deal on a 07+ clutch... soo... yea?

Stick with 03-06 as recommended, unless they specify the JK trans.

Mixture of Shockproof and MT90 (2 parts MT90 : 1 part shockproof)Which shockproof did you use? Superlight, Light, Or Heavy?

[RalliartRsX]

Red Line (50304) MT-90 75W-90 GL-4 Manual Transmission and Transaxle Lubricant - 1 Quart (x2)

Red Line 58204 Heavy ShockProof Gear Oil - 1 Quart Bottle (x 1)

I have zero issues with the cold climate as mentioned (car was driven the last few days for shakedown with outside ambient temps of during startup of 37, 35 and 34 degrees F respectively). No gearbox dragging, etc. I am also on a twin plate ATS carbon clutch (if that's of any benefit to the discussion/talk about tranny and clutch drag)

Also, ZERO issues with notchy shifting ad mentioned by LoST above.

Either way, after the first minute, if there are any issues, the gearbox itself is WELL above ambient temp for any issues with shifting or drag to be mitigated.

I am on the Mazworx bell housing and Hook shifter/shift bracket. I also have an extended weighted shift knob with aids in shift effort.

08 JK41 gearbox.

awesome thanks for the info. I'll be on a cd009 transmission. Just waiting on the the bellhousing to come back from Maverick Motorsports and also my driveshaft from shaftmasters

[D.Bo]

I'm using the Maverick Motorsports adapter plate. Having issues with them answering emails and the status of my bell housing machining order. Been two weeks and I'm trying to get my car done for an upcoming event.

I happen to have a spare bell housing that I'm going to bring to a local machine shop. Does anyone know how much of the bellhousing need to be machined off to use with MM adapter plate? I've read 14mm off some other forum but am unsure.

hi there! i wonder to swap cd009 in my s15 with sr20det. I was looking for cd009 so long time in Russia, but cant find it, however, i saw a few g37 mech.transmission. could anyone tell me is there difference between transmissions 350z/370z (cd009 vq35hr) and g37?

[Croustibat]

Same problem here. I cant find a second hand cd009/A , but there are quite some HR around.

I heard it still requires a non HR bellhousing and a bearing change to make the swap, so back to square "i cant find a non HR bellhousing" one...

[Yellow4g63]

I thought they were the same transmission between the Z and G. Unless Nissan didn't parts share like they always do.

[LoSt180]

I thought they were the same transmission between the Z and G. Unless Nissan didn't parts share like they always do.They are the same between the two. The problem is only the VQ35DE cars had the CD0 series trans, and the VQ35HR/VQ37VHR engines got the JK1 series trans. People also mistakenly call ALL Z33 trans CD009, when there's several revisions (CD007,8, & A), and the 07-08 HR cars got the JK trans.

Internals are the same between CD/JK trans, but the bell housing bolt pattern is slightly different (starter is on opposite side on the HR/VHR engine). Might be an issue for the plate style adapters, but shouldn't be much of a problem for the adapters the replace the bell housing. I believe this thread even covers what adapters work with the 370Z (JK) trans. Just scroll back to the beginning. This problem should be solved by now, considering the 370Z has been on the market 10 years now, and the CD00x cars were only around 02-06.

[D.Bo]

Finally drove my car this weekend with the cd009 trans in my Sr. Feels amazing. I love the gearing for 2nd and 3rd.

I ended up going with the Mazworx bell housing since Maverick Motorsports has yet to respond to my emails for the past month.

Did anyone with the Mazworx bell housing have to modify their slave cylinder rod? i had to shave mine down a bit for it to fit.

Also does anyone have issues with their GKTech shifter? mine gets stuck in the up or down position cause of the plastic housing thats included in the kit.

[RalliartRsX]

I used my Z32/SR20 slave and they all bolted up fine. However, I did have to use spacers on the slave cylinder mounts (under the slave cylinder bolt holes) to make sure the slave properly aligns with the shift fork

I did not have to shave my slave down...

Also, yes my GKtech shifter does get stuck in when trying to engage reverse, only after a few hot laps, then comes back to normal? Not a big fan. And my bushing rattles unless my hand is on the shifter. Annoying

Did you grease the shifter parts that move? I did, may not have liberally enough.

Was your slave getting stuck out? I have the mazworx kit and having a problem with my slave getting stuck out to the point where I have to unbolt it in order to get it to go back in. I’m hoping I just have some air in the line. Going to mess with it tomorrow but any input is welcomed.

I have the Gktech shifter too and mine sticks pretty easily ass well.

It's possible it was getting jammed but I had the line disconnected so it wouldnt trap air inside of it. I still had to shave the rod down. I'm going to replace the slave with a new one just incase the piston was getting stuck from depressing all the way.

I spoke with Gktech and they said to shave down the plastic housing for it to work better. or you can hit them up for a new one and hopefully it works better.

I swapped to a new slave and that seems to have fixed the issue. Seeming like the rod on this one is slightly longer. I’ll hit up Gktech and see what they say. would shave the plastic but not sure which part to shave, I’ll have to look at it again

you need to measure how much the clutch slave rod extends when you push down the clutch pedal. if its not extending fully (air in the system or clutch pedal not adjusted properly) then the clutch will not be disengaging properly

also, what pivot ball do you have? there are at least 2 different lengths.

I changed the clutch master bleed it but third feels a little funny only if I am spinning into third gear shifting at 8000 rpm which is every time I hit gas in second no stopping that But I am gonna try oem shifter the clutch fork was moving proper when I checked also regular driving in perfect I think it’s just the mazworx shifter idk I would love to figure this out

I had issues using the Gktech solid mount and Gktech crossmember. i had to cut down the solid mount so that it looked similiar to an oem mount for it to mount up right on the cross member.

Ordered a new megan racing mount just havent had a chance to install it.

After doing a shit ton of research and watching countless videos on youtube I finally bit the bullet and ordered the SerialNine bellhousing and shifter for the JZ-CD009 swap. Got a brand new CD00A on the way as well. Ill keep you guys posted on this swap.

BTW I've seen some horror stories with these other adapter kits such as exploding flywheels so be careful out there guys!

When I did the mazworx kit I used an OsGiken TS2BD dampened twin disc clutch. Also used their specific throw out bearing and bearing carrier, as it’s different length than a single disc carrier.

I think the OEM based setup is a little different. The shifter bushing itelf is brass. However, the shifter sits in a plastic cup.

Hoke (I spelled it incorrectly initially) was a small scale company. However, the guy closed down shop about a year ago to focus on family

ATS twin plate carbon carbon. Will probably be up for sale in the next month or so if anyone wants it. Used with a Mazworx bell housing and standard SR20 clutch hardware (fork, clutch line, pivot and slave). Works perfectly!

I'm on clutchmasters fx850 twin. OS/Ogura is king though. What kind of clutch master cylinder are you using? if stock, it may not extend far enough depending on air gap between pp and throw out bearing.

that all depends on what you use the car for.

consider that a factory z33 manual trans diff is a 3.5
stock s13 is 4.08
that's a much shorter final drive than Nissan originally intended, you'll have great acceleration but shit for max speed, and freeway driving will suffer
not bad if its a drift car that you trailer to the track, but not great for a daily. doesn't mean people don't do it, hell I know people who street drive s13 and s14 with 4.3 and even 4.6 (with regular ka or sr trans).

Would there be a recommended diff swap for this that wouldn't break the bank?
Would one of the r32/3/4 diffs or s15 6 speed helical diff be good enough?

What’s the consensus / review on the Collins adapter kit?
I currently have a KA and the end goal is RB25DET.
With this kit it looks like I can kill two birds with one stone.
(I do see the mazworx KAVQ kit w/ GKTech shifter a good option for KA, but leaves me with figuring something out later for RB)

Seems to be a lot of f***in’ around with this Z33 trans. Other option I’m considering is R33/Z31 transmission w/ Alpha Omega for the KA then just switch to RB25 bellhousing when I go RB25.


@mint240 —> Regarding diffs. Taking into account cd009’s 6th ratio @ 0.794, any diff. 3.5-3.9 would be good ballpark (for street/highway) and depending on preference and application. I myself plan on going w/ a late Q45 @ 3.69 or a Ford 8.8 @ 3.73
I have a thread on diffs and am pretty well versed on the combinations especially for S13. If you need a hand message me. Q45 diffs are cheap btw @ like $250 or less.

I saw somewhere that using a piece from the xterra truck I believe changed the diff gearing to something tolerable. Any input on that? I just went CD009 on my JZ and I already have a Kaaz 2 way I?d like to preserve

@Bigmike, tolerable in what way? Most pieces that you take from xterra that I know of are to shorten gears / climb higher, numerically. 4.6 ratio territory.
After ‘05? You can get lower numeric gearing but I’m totally unfamiliar with what diff is even back there. Sorry.
Here’s one of the mostly complete listings I’ve found for R200’s.
http://www.eatsleepboost.lt/tech-info/nissan-tech-info/nissan-r200-diff-ratios/

Other part is pathfinder 5th gear is 0.811 on an FS5r30a box. Probably unrelated to what you were talking about though?

Edit: Xrerra that I’m familiar with is 37:8 and 51:11. Idk if it’s even possible, but 37 gear on 12 or 13 pinion yields 3:1 territory but in my opinion that’s much too low.

AGAIN, it all depends on what you want to do with the car.

if its going to be street driven, pick a taller final drive like z33 (those diffs are plenty beefy)

if its drift use only on shorter courses, a s-chassis diff with 4.08 will work, and you still have 4.3 or even 4.6 options,

if you run FD then just buy a winters quickchange.

[RalliartRsX]

.........Or just use a Q45 3.69 as it's a direct drop in

I have a JK41 with a 4.08 diff. It was cool for all of the first 10 miles because I thought I was Tommi Makinen going through several Monte Carlo stages. Then, I realized 2 things

1) 6th gear on the highway @ 75-80 (cruising speed around here) I am sitting at 3500RPM depending on my tire height
2) Rowing through gears, especially with my wide power-band (3700 - 8K), I actually lose time by rowing through gears, not being in the correct gear or rpm, etc. as the car is a dual duty street, HPDE car. I am actually thinking of swapping back to the Z32 with the 4.08 in all honesty.

Go with a 3.69.....

[Bleakley]

Funny you mentioned that. That was a thought I had.
Which is why I’m also looking into sourcing / using a z31/R33 box. There’s a few gear sets available to custom tailor for FS5R30A too, which is nice.
You don’t feel a lower numerical gear rear would help?

It also kinda bums me how low the cd009 trans sticks out from frame rails. I would no doubt be fabricating some kind of skid plate to help with that.
Is the gearbox actually level and it still sticks that low? Or does everyone have it angled to clear tunnel?

Getting 3.69 diff is IMMENSELY cheaper and easier to fit that pulling an entire gearbox down, stripping it, refitting gears, and reinstalling it

[TheRealSy90]

Except theres 0 aftermarket lsd options for that diff.


1) 6th gear on the highway @ 75-80 (cruising speed around here) I am sitting at 3500RPM depending on my tire height

Stock sr trans is nearly the same rpm in 5th at those speeds so what's the big deal lol. An sr will cruise at 4k all day long and be no worse off.

[RalliartRsX]

1- The Q45 comes in 2 variants; The one in question is a R200 and every 240SX LSD options works for the 97-01 (if my memory serves me correctly) Q45 diff

2 - Regardless on if an SR will cruise at that speed or not, in our tin cans it becomes annoying.....and just burns more gas. I do not need "all of it" when I am cruising. My setup literally pulls from 3200 all the way to 8500 RPM. AT highway speeds, with the wheels already loaded/spinning, I can dip into boost by just blinking my eye. It becomes annoying constantly going from open/close/open loop just to change lanes.

Mainly how he conducts business. I ordered my K-series to CD00x adapter calling him before I put the order in as the his site says "out of stock, most items restock within a month". He told me yeah you'll have in a month as there's a wait list on machining. so I ordered it 17MAY18 for 2200$... Hoping it would come in before I go to bootcamp in 2 months, so I could at least have Kswap mounted and start major fabrication before i left.

While in A school in FL i was pretty patient until I was getting ready to go home on leave for thanksgiving and work on the car some more. contacted him via email on 02AUG18 and it went like this...

Dear Brett Collins,

I know we talked the other week about delays and you said you it would be done soon. but do you have an estimated completion or ship date for the adapter kit?

Thank you,
M***** N******
We are trying to get these done asap, we go the machine back up recently so it shouldn't be too much longer.

thanks again M***
Dear Brett Collins,

ASAP is nice to hear, but every time I've gotten in contact with you, there's seems to be some kind of hang up in your shop. When I ordered it on 17/4/2018 you said it would about a month (wait list which I understand) and I might not see it before Bootcamp. On 14/7/2018 I called you because my father hadn't received it yet and you told me you have machinery go down and had just got it back online that day and would be starting on my adapter soon. I emailed you last week asking for an ETA and you just tell me ASAP. ASAP is nice but you told me over a month ago "soon", giving me a projected completion date is what I'm asking for here.

Thank you,
M****** N*****

After that silence till 20SEP18, where he emailed me a a tracking number for the "adapter plate and clutch system". When I got back to VA in November I opened the box to find everything but the flywheel was in the box. And the stage 3 clutch that came with, as i didnt have the extra 1200 for a twin disk, I found out after looking up the part number on the pressure plate was a 130$ Ebay special Stage 3, 6 puck 350z clutch. I called him immediately, don't recall the conversation but on 14DEC18 (2 weeks after I went back to FL) he emailed me a tracking number for the flywheel.

Needless to say I was the guiney pig on this one and doubt he has sold anymore. The kit its self was ok looking it over, having never done something like this before. The adapter plate bolt had 2 bags labeled "2JZ CD009" and "K20/K24 CD009". Not all bolts fit and the two lower transmission bolts could not be found from the bags. When I replaced the engine, from bending a rod at 14psi going to ham on E85 igition timing, I had found that the pilot bushing after only about 3000miles was still ok to the input shaft but would slip right out of the flywheel. From day 1 I've always had input shaft bearing noise with the clutch engaged which I assumed was from a used tranny. I had got from a friend for free after putting a new motor and tranny in his 03 Z but he told me that was a new noise. After seeing that I'm not sure if the transmission is concentrically centered with the engine.

[slideyboiz240]

Hello, I am swapping a 2jzgtevvti into an s13, using a collins adapter plate and a ACT clutch. I read somewhere (and cannot find that source again) that the input shaft needed to be cut 1/4 of an inch in order to not bottom out on the crank. After beveling a small amount off the input shaft and attempting to mate the engine and trans, the bellhousing is roughly 1/2 inch away from being flush with the engine. I did make sure that the splines on the input shaft were correctly matched up with the clutch but, the trans wont go any further. My concern is if I cut more off the input shaft, I could cut too small and if I dont cut more and tighten it up with the bellhousing bolts, it could mess up my crank.

Any suggestions or input?

Mainly how he conducts business. I ordered my K-series to CD00x adapter calling him before I put the order in as the his site says "out of stock, most items restock within a month". He told me yeah you'll have in a month as there's a wait list on machining. so I ordered it 17MAY18 for 2200$... Hoping it would come in before I go to bootcamp in 2 months, so I could at least have Kswap mounted and start major fabrication before i left.

While in A school in FL i was pretty patient until I was getting ready to go home on leave for thanksgiving and work on the car some more. contacted him via email on 02AUG18 and it went like this...





After that silence till 20SEP18, where he emailed me a a tracking number for the "adapter plate and clutch system". When I got back to VA in November I opened the box to find everything but the flywheel was in the box. And the stage 3 clutch that came with, as i didnt have the extra 1200 for a twin disk, I found out after looking up the part number on the pressure plate was a 130$ Ebay special Stage 3, 6 puck 350z clutch. I called him immediately, don't recall the conversation but on 14DEC18 (2 weeks after I went back to FL) he emailed me a tracking number for the flywheel.

Needless to say I was the guiney pig on this one and doubt he has sold anymore. The kit its self was ok looking it over, having never done something like this before. The adapter plate bolt had 2 bags labeled "2JZ CD009" and "K20/K24 CD009". Not all bolts fit and the two lower transmission bolts could not be found from the bags. When I replaced the engine, from bending a rod at 14psi going to ham on E85 igition timing, I had found that the pilot bushing after only about 3000miles was still ok to the input shaft but would slip right out of the flywheel. From day 1 I've always had input shaft bearing noise with the clutch engaged which I assumed was from a used tranny. I had got from a friend for free after putting a new motor and tranny in his 03 Z but he told me that was a new noise. After seeing that I'm not sure if the transmission is concentrically centered with the engine.

Wow. What in THE F***. What a douchebag.
Alright man, there’s now like 6-7+ people in this thread alone saying no-go on the Collins kit for KA/RB to CD00. That def does it for me. I am SOO sorry for your guys’ headaches, but thank all you guys so much for contributing to this thread so others don’t have to go through the same unnecessary BULLSHIT.

Guys this SerialNine kit is the fugggin bees knees... Between the housing and the shifter this thing doesnt get any more straight forward. The quality is the truth and driving this thing with the shifter makes the car so much more fun. I was originally a little worried about some noises the trans makes when its just idling outta gear but after a little research people were saying thats common once you switch over to a lightweight flywheel.

Also I couldn't figure out how to set any gap on the internal slave so its just riding on the pressure plate but so far feels great. Please let me know if I missed something

It?s a tad pricey for sure but you absolutely get what you pay for. When I was pricing versus Collins kit I think it wasn?t too great of a difference when using the A340 housing maybe under a grand difference and after seeing the negative reviews I?m so glad I went this route.

You know how the oem 5SPD shifter always has some slop even with the metal bush. The gktech setup feel is nice but with the short throw the sloppy of the shift level to bush and bush to selector arm is almost the the same distance as going from 1-3 or 3-5. Took me a quite a while to get a feel for it and many missshifts. Thankfully all k24 have the same valve springs as a k20 so it wont explode seeing +9k rpm briefly.

I was bugging too before I actually got my driveshaft. The gears are so damn close i didn?t know if I was in 5th or 3rd but 3rd is literally pushing straight forward (no force to either left or right). 5th is SUCH a small push to the right and forward it takes serious getting used to and then setting the reverse lock out is easy once you get that down. Watch their video on setting that.

Anyone using a twin disc clutch with the mazworx cd009 kit. What sleeve for the throw out bearing are you guys using ? I have a exedy twin disc. Not quite sure if the stock 30501-K0404 24mm S13/S14 works with it since it's a twin disc.id appreciate any feedback thanks

[crash n' burn]

So, I got a question for everyone. I'm about to order my adapter kid from my jz/cd swap.

Measurements:
a340 Bellhousing
14 3/8" exterior diameter (top to bottom), 4 3/4" depth; 13" inside diameter, input shaft is centered @ 6.5"

CD009
16" exterior diameter (top to bottom), 6 3/4" depth (to second rib where cut is made); 13 1/4" inside diameter, input shaft centered @ 6 5/8"

Assuming the no-cut adapter ring is 1/2" and the "cut kit" adapter flange is 1.5", the overall length would be shorter with the cut kit (1.5"), while also having about an inch extra ground clearance, and less firewall bashing.

Is it worth the extra money converting to an internal slave set-up needed for the cut kit since my CD is external with a new slave?

I've used an OsGiken TS2BD twin disc with the Mazworx kit. I used the throw out bearing and sleeve that OsGiken prescribes to use with their clutch. No clue about other brands.

For what it's worth you have to use a shorter sleeve with the OsG twin disc, the factory sr sleeve is too long.

ATS twin carbon carbon here with the Mazworx bell housing
Twin Disk TOB Sleeve
Standard S chassis fork (I was told my Maworx you cannot use the upgraded steel fork or pivot ball)
And twin disk TOB (part number Koyo/Nissan 30502-14601)

I think the TOB and sleeve are essentially universal across a majority of the most of the twin plates

Have a # for the sleeve you are using or was it provided by ats ?

What about the nismo pivot ball . Looks identical as the stock sr one from a glance

Yep. Give me a few let me look up my receipt,

As long as it the SR height pivot ball for the SR20DET 5 speed, the nismo one should work

Awesome thank you ! So far from what I've gathered for the mazworx bellhousing kit and exedy twin disc clutch I use the OEM sr20 24mm sleeve?

[TheRealSy90]

The Mazworx bellhousing is designed around the SR bellhousing dimensions, so any clutch parts for the regular sr 5-speed trans are cross compatible and that's the parts you would use for aftermarket clutches.

I've posted all the bearing/sleeve info for ORC twin discs before, pretty sure its the same as OsGiken as well.:

You coulda just asked me dude haha.

Both the 559 and 659 ORC clutch use their "Type A" release bearing that is 67.1mm diameter http://www.paramo.jp/vp3.php?ci=ogura&pi=technical_13_en .
It's available to order on Nengun supposedly: https://www.nengun.com/orc/release-bearing

The nissan part number for the bearing is 30502-14601, they use an oem nissan bearing from a pickup and can order it really anywhere.

As far as the sleeve, it SHOULD work with 16mm or 18mm sleeves, according to ORC documentation: http://www.ogura-racing.com/pdf/partslist.pdf

OEM part numbers:
16mm: 30501-02C74
18mm: 30501-S0284

(I'm 99% sure one is literally a 350z clutch bearing sleeve, same as the one I used with my OsGiken twin disc)

Awesome thank you ! So far from what I've gathered for the mazworx bellhousing kit and exedy twin disc clutch I use the OEM sr20 24mm sleeve?

If that clutch is designed to use that sleeve, should probably contact Exedy to verify they don't require a specific sleeve for the twin disc.

Generally the twin disc stack height is taller than a single disc and requires a shorter sleeve. I'd be surprised if their twin plate is the same height as a single.

[Vicious Beaner!]

So yea contacted exedy and they said it uses the stock oem sleeve from an sr20det which would be a 24mm sleeve and just pair it with thier tob provided . Def would have though it would of been a shorter one like said since it's for a twin disc . Looks like I'll have to mock it up and see how everything is lining up

Which is also the JDM S14 & S15 ratio.

S15 6spd maybe but the 5spds never had that low of gearing in the differential.

[Boostin Caffeine]

What?s up dudes.. Newbie, but FAR long time lurker of the forums, just here to shed some info that may or may not have been covered before.

Starting off, the Factory CDXXX to End of service cover is 28?
http://i.imgur.com/3JM5AsV_d.jpg?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=medium

With the collins A340, it?s the same 28?. Maybe useless to know, but that means the sandwich plate Adaptor adds about 1/2? to the total length.
https://i.imgur.com/IIUQjLO_d.jpg?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=medium

I?m running factory flywheel M/T 3RZ bolts, this is because the Collins kit comes with some trash nonflanged grade 10.9 bolts. The 3RZ are 12 point, and high grade with factory thread locker cost: $20 from my local Yota dealer.
The collins Full Kit comes with some trash Ebay clutch setup, so I opted for a Southbends Clutch, and my Slave cylinder is a factory GM part, as far as my clutch lines and Bleeder valve, I went with the ISR T56 remote kit (comes with Wilwood MC setup). As far as the shifter goes, many probably know by now the collins shifter is trash, I made the mistake of buying it, and I?ll post a vid of how suicidal the shifts are.

Collins Shifter:

The Diff I?ll be using is an Early model Q45 6 bolt diff, with z33 axles. This diff is a similar ratio as the factory 350z rear diff, but complete bolt on for S13s.
https://i.imgur.com/N4UWNHT_d.jpg?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=medium

I?ve bought both my CD009 Transmissions for $200, the trick is to look for 05? G/Z transmission, most of these are marked CD#1 on the casings. This doesn?t mean they are CD001 or CD008. Nissan recalled some transmissions for the syncros, and replaced the transmissions with Early CD009s. I?ve confirmed my ?Gold? transmission is in fact a true CD009 with ConceptZMotorsports. But it was for sale as a CD001, and I?ve seen others posted for sale the same way. Just a good thing to keep in mind while looking for them.

Sorry for longish post, but hopefully something is useful to someone.

[Boostin Caffeine]

Whats up Peeps, just a Super Noob floating in, but long time lurker. Here to share useless info, and my build so far. :naughty:

So to kick things off some info... Which maybe useful to someone out there.

Stock uncut CD009 Bellhousing-Service tunnel distance: 28"
https://i.imgur.com/EqAdvkX.jpg

Collins A340/CD009 Bellhousing-Service cover: 28"
https://i.imgur.com/4XDQMBh.jpg

If you run the sandwich plate i guess expect about 1/2" more, so the shifter will be moved further rearwards.

Okay, so the Collins kit is OK, but he sends it with garbage nonFlange 10.9 Flywheel bolts. Due to the flywheel thickness and Crank hole depth, this makes it kinda a pain to find bolts for, you can cut ARPs if you want.
I went with OEM 3RZ M/T Flywheel bolts, all 8 from my local dealer for $20.

Shifter is Trash as well, i'll be selling mine because im scared to Money Shift with it, i'll post a vid of how suicidal the shifts are and Reverse is.
I'm running a factory T56 Slave, with the ISR T56 relocation kit from Enjuku Racing, this kit comes with a Wilwood MC as well. AS well Collins sends an Ebay clutch with his kit, but marks it up as a premium. I opted for a SouthBends DxD clutch.

So for peeps looking to ball on a budget like i did, i bought both my CD009's for $200. Just look for 05' Transmissions, early 05' were recalled for synco issues, and replaced with Early Edition CD009's, these transmissions only have CD#1 on the casing, and other wise thought of as CD001's. My "Gold" transmission was confirmed by ConceptZmotorsports as a true CD009 by the vin plate, and the CD#2 in the input shaft plate.

AS for a decent diff, i'll be running an Early Q45 6 bolt diff, with Z33 axles. This is a direct bolt in for an S13, and is the same Ratio as a factory 350z to match the trans. This car is being built as a cruiser for me and my girl.

I know some of the older trans pre-CD009 were notchy simply due to the unrevised syncro setup on those (double cone vs triple cone in CD009). A lot of people just call any Z33 trans a CD009 not realizing the early models kinda sucked.

Yeah I don?t remember off the top of my head but I got some hardware from ACE that worked.

Basically bashed along that piece that goes around the tunnel (sheet metal tack welded on) just mash both side and the top flat. Should give you enough clearance. I did install my trans mount to make sure those holes didn?t shift though with all the bashing. Good luck

Ended up ordering another Mazworx SR-Z33 trans kit and OsGiken twin disc clutch. Parted out this same setup a few years ago and never used it so now I get to do it all over again.

[mr.nismo.]

Wanted some opinions: just got my trans installed with my os giken super single (sr20). I have the shorter pivot ball in, but the slave is relaxed at full extension and the TOB barely touches the pressure plate. I'm thinking the longer pivot ball will fix this issue. When compared to my old clutch/flywheel, it's shorter in height. I know everything with this swap is very one off with your personal setup, but wanted to see if anyone else has the issue of it not reaching.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200712/16be2e46fcf036c25b1452f05f3b9299.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200712/4566732da9bd03b03f582f7321702716.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200712/462238ec8b6861eec38a63d59fe4e0be.jpg

^^^^ are you using the os giken TOB? I think the collar is longer to compensate for the shorter height.Yes I am. It actually comes with a carrier and Tob already pressed on. I don't have a picture but it was just slightly taller than the OEM SR carrier and TOB that was with my competition clutch. I ordered the longer pivot ball as that's really the only solution i can think of. Even if I spaced the Tob itself, it looks like the fork sits so far back towards the bell housing opening.

[mr.nismo.]

Alright so new pivot ball in. I was hoping to slip it out with the trans on but fuck my life I guess.

Testing it off the car, i have travel to just past the half way point in the window before the carrier is off it's guide. With the trans on the fork sits maybe 1/8" from the far left side of the window and it touching the pressure plate fingers. The slave cylinder also has about an 1/8" from full compression. Curious about other people's swing arc of the arm. I could always take the washer it comes with and swap it for a thinner one to gain a little more room, but I'm not sure of I need it? I can always have a stopper on the pedal so I cant over-extend.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200726/fda87dcaf33494977ef291510e801bc9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200726/29be960ceed5e2d9e481bf54efe10941.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200726/35d372e4463c61faac09ebe9d4190ed0.jpg

So, where's the list of parts for converting an S14 to a cd009 / RB25 to z32 rear?

[mr.nismo.]

So I got everything installed driveline wise. I had clearance issues with my drive shaft and shifter. Just throwing my setup on here for anyone looking to do the conversion.

SR20
Drift freaq motor mounts
Gk trans x member and mount
Rear subframe has solid riser bushings
Gk shifter and shaftmasters aluminum one piece abs shaft
Abs diff

Gk clearly lists their clearance at 90mm max. The widest part of the joint is 110mm, so obviously not going to work as is. The engine sits lower and subframe sits higher, giving the driveshaft a more straight line. The widest part is on the shaft side, and may have cleared with normal height engine mounts and subframe bushings (more tilt in the shaft). None the less, I shaved the dog leg down to clear. It's made of chromoly, and honestly don't see it breaking even with it being shaved. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200802/cd0a1d6d68f3cb00d9b7a6664399ec9c.jpg

Wanted some opinions: just got my trans installed with my os giken super single (sr20). I have the shorter pivot ball in, but the slave is relaxed at full extension and the TOB barely touches the pressure plate. I'm thinking the longer pivot ball will fix this issue. When compared to my old clutch/flywheel, it's shorter in height. I know everything with this swap is very one off with your personal setup, but wanted to see if anyone else has the issue of it not reaching.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200712/16be2e46fcf036c25b1452f05f3b9299.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200712/4566732da9bd03b03f582f7321702716.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200712/462238ec8b6861eec38a63d59fe4e0be.jpg

The TOB is touching the pressure plate here. It looks like I have a little bit more room for the fork to swing.

Below is with the slave installed and the fork at the point where the TOB is touching the pressure plate. It seems like the slave can extend further. I'm hoping to clarify if this looks normal/like it will work before it goes in the car.

https://i.imgur.com/Arl6NWB.jpg?1If you read a couple posts down after my initial one, the longer pivot ball fixed my issue. I was worried about over pressing the pp fingers since now the slave is in the fully retracted position, and the tob had a 1/8" gap to the PP. That's when I was spoon fed that adjustable rod (currently on the way). The other thing too is that z33 slaves have a spring that always wants to push the rod out. That means no matter what the tob will always ride the pp.

If you follow the Speetek guys on Instagram, they're constantly posting up broken "CD009" transmissions. And they say guys in Australia are breaking them all the time even lower horsepower cars. Slightly concerning.

As a heads up DO NOT use the CD009 slave cylinder bolts on the conversion bell housing/SR slave cylinder. The CD bolts are a little longer and will interfere with the SR pressure plate.

Did you figure this out? I'm not yet at the point of trying to drive but I've filled the clutch lines with fluid and fully bled but it seems like the throw out bearing doesn't push enough on the pressure plate... I may come across the same problem.

Not really a crazy idea. It?s been done before. Measure from output seal to pinion flange.

Also worth checking if a G35 coupe driveshaft fits. They use 2-piece shafts but you might be able to use just the front section with an S14 rear section.

I think Dakota Digital Released a one box easy wire for CD009 GPS Speed.

https://www.dakotadigital.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=product/product_id=837/mode=prod/prd837.htm

SPEED 2 is a sine wave signal for most older speedometers.
Dakota Digital speedometers, and dash systems, can use either output.

Based on the manual, I can set it to a 16K PPM signal.....

https://www.dakotadigital.com/pdf/GPS-50-2.pdf

Then I wire it to the cluster. Once I have the signal wire from the Dakota, do I just wire back into the speed sensor harness?
I guess to where the sensor use to be which is on my KA24E harness, tranny harness Y/G wire?

Anyone else install the Mazworx VQ/SR bellhousing and using an OsGiken twin disc clutch? TS2BD if it needs to be specific.

Hey all, need some help. How would you know if the clutch throwout bearing is fully disengaged? I have a ORC twin plate and I was supposed to use a 18mm carrier sleeve vs the stock 24mm.

So how can i check full disengagement?
Can I adjust the 6mm difference by changing the slave cylinder pin?
Orc and the old 240zs had adjustable slave cylinder pins.

Hoping I dun need to rip everything out again. Also are twin plates really loud? Definitely sounds like this. https://youtu.be/kSqsypA7e2g

[slider2828]

If this helps anyone in the future twin discs most of the time will need a shorter carrier. ORCand OSG twins use a 16 to 18mm carrier and our stock sr is 24mm. If you didnt put one in and in my case i didnt, i just cut about 6mm off the slave cylinder pin, dont forget to account for the cutoff wheel thickness a bit... Now i can better see a small air gap. Just make sure to put slop in the pedal and open the clutch reservoir and push everything back a few times to make sure the pin is in resting position. The readjust everything back.

Now the clutch engages at 1/4 of the way up and not like 5/8 of the way up....

I know it is a little late but the throw out bearing collars are common discussion in the classic z forums. Nissan actually has several heights for the numerous versions of the FS Nissan transmissions. This is an example of some of the variations which may be helpful.

Can't have too much gear! It brings all the skidz! haha

I have an R154 paired with factory LSD S13 diff and I find it a decent combination. The trans has very long gears and the diff is shorter. Tbh I could go for an even shorter combo. I want more tyre spin and the 245s in the rear are just too much to break loose until I'm in boost.

Planned to go CD009 with LS1 and collins adapter but the RHD was interfering with mounting the engine and the firewall was too much in the way so switched to 1JZ/R154 swap

Installed and it worked!!! The install was soooo easy. But you do need to remove the dash. Pulled constant 12v and acc 12v from the ignition tumbler. Then ground from anywhere. Then cut and wire in a wire from the dash (wire 6 y/lavendar) to speed 2 which is a sine wave and 16ppm setting.... now you have a gps and accelerometer speedo.

OK kiddos.... for further driveline tuning, this thing makes a lot of noise if you don't do it right.... I would use CA18DET engine mounts or drift freaq mounts which sit the engine 10mm lower.... You then need to raise the tranny as high as you can.... In my car, when I did this..... the output of the tranny is pointing down -2.5* whereas my rest of the driveline -1.7*....

If you aren't sure how to do this...use this and an angle finder

or Tremec toolbox on your phone through any app store.... make sure you take your case off your phone to measure accurately.....

Well shit for posterity and people tracking their cd009 my tranny started leaking in the bell housing. I didnt know this but some people say the bottom screw needs sealant....

Will be pulling the tranny and changing, the input shaft seal, front housing seal and adding sealant on the screws... ugh...

Are you using the optional antenna for range? I have a dash cover with a ton of velcro to hold it down. I plan to mount the antenna in the center of the dash under the cover.

Also, your previous post mentioned using 16k PPM. Are you using the 20k PPM setting because of the kph cluster?

It could be because of KPH, that would make sense. Those are hardcoded PPMs in the module, so you can try a few settings.

I would assume under the cover is fine.... but I am not a radio technician so I have no idea..... I have to use the optional antennae because the module itself is setting behind the radio on the tranny tunnel. Its deep in the dash where there a lot of metal and radio antenna and grounding stuff...

I think the optional antennae under the dashboard cover overlay SHOULD work but its not very flat. Its about same thickness as a zippo lighter and about half the size.....

After a few years of being under construction, I finally have had some time to take the car out for some test drives! S13 with 2JZ, CD009, and stock differential.

CD trans has a 0.79:1 6th gear

4.08 * 0.79 * 840 revs/mile * 1 mi/min = 2707rpm

You're either actually in 4th (1.27:1, 4327rpm) or you haven't recalibrated your tach for a 6cyl (2700rpm would read as 4050)

I guys sorry to bother .
Since CD009 swap came more popular and more usefull info came along since the evolution of the swap im undering if someone can please TLDR explaining what a need to a conversion on my s13 with sr20det.
Im starting to think to upgrade to a cd009 since sr20det boxes are rare nowdays and expensives .
My big concern and the main point question of this thread is ...
Can i install the CD009 without hammer/massage the tunel of the car? I remember early ages of the swap was necessary to hammer the tunnel to fit the gearbox. I have a friend with a s13 vq35 full swaped and he did it . But since i dont want to "damage" the car i wonder if i can do it "plug & play". Saw a video of a rb26 s15 from australia saying he didnt cut/hammer or massaged the tunnel and he didnt know why people saying its needed .
So if someone can help enlightening the problem i appreciatte .
