Installed the shifter today while I’m waiting for the bellhousing to arrive.

Stock crap (I’m willing to sell if anyone needs it)

New pretty SerialNine shifter assembly mounted

I just went to their site and priced out that setup. Holy shit that stuff is expensive. Congratulations man it's definitely going to make the car that much better.

Yeah definitely a pretty penny - easily one of the more expensive kits out there but the thought was do it right the first time after seeing some of the other kits with issues on the market.

BiG MiKE86 · 02-18-2020, 12:35 PM

Update: bell housing mounted! Scary af cutting into a brand new trans but their instructions are pretty spot on

New stuff mounted

Bought a remanned Denso starter for a 95 Turbo Supra. Hoping everything bolts up and plugs in no issues.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Mazworx makes that bellhousing for Serial9. It looks great

Could be wrong but im pretty sure the castings are a good bit different. Pretty sure this is Fisch Racing's design - they work with serialnine on some stuff i believe.

What's your end HP goal currently?

I’d like to be at 550 to the wheels. I was making 400rwhp @14psi when the first trans died on the dyno. Looking to drop in some 264 cams and maybe spray meth before the next dyno.

Trans shouldn't be a problem this time

. Im super jealous this is going to be a beast and probably pretty reliable too.

BiG MiKE86 · 02-25-2020, 07:05 PM

Thanks! More updates coming this weeekend. Possibly pulling the engine to bolt up new trans

BiG MiKE86 · 02-29-2020, 08:57 PM

Ran into a little issue where I didn’t have the pilot bearing puller so that stopped me in my tracks today. Heres some pics from the day.

Side by side of Old R154 with New CD00A and SeriaNine Adapter

Finally figured out how to resize pics! Sorry about the massive photos

e30gangsta · 03-01-2020, 07:48 AM

Should of used the bread trick lol

Yeah that’s what I’m gonna do if I can find the old clutch alignment tool

BiG MiKE86 · 03-03-2020, 03:13 PM

Got the old bearing out using the bread trick

A $4 clutch alignment tool and a slice of bread was all it took. For anyone who's not familiar with the trick its pretty simple (and safe). Take pieces of the bread and push into center. Tap it in with the clutch tool and hammer until the bearing pops out like seen below. Clean out cavity and go make yourself a sandwich with the left over bread.

Now the build can continue...

BiG MiKE86 · 03-22-2020, 05:46 PM

Got the trans mated to the engine finally and threw it back in. Had to pull it out after the first time and bash the tunnel in but now its back in and fitting much better.

TheRealSy90 · 03-23-2020, 12:46 PM

Hopefully that trans member doesn't bend more with how thin it is.

What's your solution for the shifter boot?

I bent the shit out of it the first time I installed it due to the trans not being high enough but it is a bit on the thin side.

Haven?t come up with a solution on the shifter boot yet. Any ideas?

I have this bracket that came with my old Mazworx kit that would probably work perfectly, it basically relocates the shift boot bolt pattern rearward a bit, looks like it would work for your setup. I'll try and remember to send you a photo of it when I get home.

Actually now that I look at it again, it would put the boot where the base part of the 999 shifter is, but the shift lever itself looks like it's still in the factory area, so it should line up with the upper console boot still?

Been a while since the last update. Cars been running for a few weeks now and it feels great! SerialNine shifter is crazy short and took some serious getting used to but damn does it feel good. This trans with a stock 4.08 rear rips through gears like nothing - acceleration is insane but highway speeds suffer big time. Few pics since last time

Custom Driveshaft made locally took less than a day and came out great.

Sent the car off to STP Motorsports near me to double check me on the clutch pedal setup, fix a coolant leak and while it was there i had the steering rack rebuilt and car aligned.

Havent found a solution to seal up the shifter hole so a little aluminum tape did the trick for now.

First oil change is probably well over a year

Random pics of the bay.. planning on cleaning up a ton of wiring and more things in the bay now that its back on the road
