SR20 Z33 6 speed swap

[TheRealSy90]

Man pulling the trans off and on is still a pain in the ass if it becomes a regular occurance :/ especially because I prefer pulling the whole engine when I do trans/clutch related stuff.

[battosaii930]

still dealing with the insurance, they asked for receipts for all the stuff done to my car and i found alot of stuff from the past years but not everything, still i sent them a 77 page word document with $25,033.69 worth of receipts i found in my email lol

for sure im going to build my bottom end, new apexi head gasket and new timing chain and oil pump and anything else it needs but i want to ditch my GT2871r for a twin scroll GTX3076r and a full race manifold but i will have to see what my budget will be and how cheap i can find another kouki, i really like Zenki's but i had a kouki and thats what i want even if they are more money

The receipts are perfect man. You just have to show what you paid and what it cost. If they try and reduce your numbers make sure you fight back with your own proof. Such as work estimates, and using the retail value of what parts cost in TODAYS MARKET could be higher.

We will get you the most for your damages and hopefully you'll be back on the road sooner than later.

finally got a number very low, the insurance only offered me $4400 plus i get to keep my smashed car its such BS im going to have a really hard time finding a good s14 for that price let alone getting my SR up and running again

i might sell the S class and use a small amount of the money to buy a good gas milage car and the rest to finish my 240

[crewchief05]

Still waiting on my parts from george. Been waiting over a month.

[chipis]

hi, just read this thread some time ago and decided to try these adapter. so i contacted goerge, sent money to him about month ago, he promised to ship parts asap but till no no parts and no more replies from him. Very complicated company to deal with.

[crewchief05]

any one figure out how to get the reverse and neutral to work without the stock harness?

[loucal]

I'm still trying to configure the Dakota box. It has been a struggle. I plan on using the wiring from the sr sub harness to tie into the reverse sensor.

[battosaii930]

Hey did you ever get the parts? I wanted to this swap

[TheRealSy90]

George has been pretty busy lately, i'm sure he isn't going to screw anybody over, i'm excited for the s13-z33 axle adapters he's currently making.

[Rb26kouki]

anyone else doing this conversion? concerned about dealing with those 2 companies. thinking of just waiting for the jwt kit to come out

vibrations are coming from the actual gear box it self or from it touching the transmission tunel ?

[fatduece]

seemed like people didnt have any issues with george. When did you hear about jwt? I havent seen anything

[Rb26kouki]

Ben at JWT mentioned it to me about it. Only thing about their conversion requires you to use their Flywheel. I believe you will have to source a Automatic SR20DET Transmission Bellhousing. And the conversion plate they will be using is between the transmission & Bell housin

[roninwon]

that sounds like even more time and money for a conversion thats already been perfected.

[Ramonesfreak2010]

Yea seriously...

[TheRealSy90]

Or you could have Speedtek Industries in Aus do the conversion for you. They use the Cut&Shut method, welding the sr20 bellhousing flange to the cd009 bellhousing. So no adapter plates or kits are used. Seems to be the most popular method over there. They will even source the transmissions for you if needed.

[ultimateirving]

Also for anyone using the transmission with internal slave cylinder I've gone through two oen units already in under 3k miles. Do not use an oem concentric slave with an aftermarket clutch. They aren't up to the task it seems

[TheRealSy90]

Did you go with the Z1 heavy duty internal slave this time? Or the external slave conversion kit?

[ultimateirving]

Still saving up to pull the whole engine again. Looking at the zspeed hdunit for sure

[JordanS]

Bump, need some advice guys.

Im running a Z33 adapter plate, very similar to George's (1/2" thickness). I'll be running the Mazworx shifter, Collins transmission mount and the bell housing will be machined 1/2".

Now my issue is this. I have a new OS Giken TS2BD Twin-Plate clutch to go on (and probably break my leg!) But the issue I have that i can't get my head around is what Fork/Release Bearing & Sleeve combo I need?! Its a CD009 trans, so no internal slave to worry about.

My understanding is that i'll be retaining the Z33 fork and clip but using a SR20 release bearing and sleeve? What size?

Because.. OSG state to use an 16mm release bearing on a standard S14 SR20 setup. But I've also read that I need a specific OSG releasing bearing and sleeve combo (http://www.frsport.com/OS-Giken-NS04..._p_232007.html)

Can anyone shed any light on my problem pleaseeeee

Here's the OSG instructions: http://www.osgiken.net/upload/d43.pdf (Clutch - TS2BD, S14 SR20 clutch)

[simon240sx]

I run the same tranny for my sr20det. I buy the dakota sgi-5c with the magnetic pick up sen-4165. I need to use te driving shaft and instal the sen-4165. But i need more information about the dakota setting. And i need information about the wiring with the dakota and s13 cluster. The cluster wait two speed signal. How wire the cluster with the dakota? Thanks!

[Drftr915]

Can anyone tell me how much they're paying to get their bellhousing machined? I'm having a tough time finding someone who could do it in Denver and I don't know what I should expect to pay? Looking to shave a 1/2 inch to fit my adapter plate.

[ShawnHalu]

Hi there everyone. I read up all is either S13/S14 Z33 conversion. Is there anyone with S15 Z33 conversion care to share some knowledge? Noise/Vibration/Fitting/which 1 pc prop shaft? btw i am with 4.11 ratio fd does it match up with z33 or i should go z32?

I paid $180 to have my first one done. second one I'll probably ship to maverick since they're cheaper. call around to your local machine shops. the shop I used had to pack clay onto the bellhousing to keep it from ringing while they machined it.

switch to s13/14 flywheel and clutch, then everything else is the same (I don't know what driveshaft length you would use though)

4.11 Final Drive seems pretty short though. you'll hafta use a gear ratio calculator to see if it suits your need since I have no idea if your car is a street car or track only.

[TheRealSy90]

4.11 isn't enough of a difference from s13/s14 4.08 to matter. If you have a 6sp s15 it should have a 3.6 which is a good match for the z33 trans.

i had a 3.53 with the CD0009 and it was bloody long, the 4.083 IMO is a much better final drive. kind of feels like a 4.6fd without the bloody tall cruise RPM's
