We gather here today to join Engine and Transmission.
I learned that you could bolt Nissan 6 speeds to ls motors and after hearing a friend talk about it for weeks. I bought one way before this project snow balled into essentially a full rebuild. They are supposedly good for about a 1000hp, they are cheaper than T-56's, and if you have ever driven a 350Z they shift REALLY good!
Queue the G Force LS Z33 Adapter kit. I decided on this one because it seemed to be the most well thought out and designed kit. Other kits require cutting off the bellhousing from the trans and bolting a new one on with the oil pump bolts, and also usually require using a specialty clutch with a blend of components from Chevy and Nissan to work. The G Force kit includes a monster flywheel to fill the space between the engine and trans so using a factory style Nissan clutch is a huge advantage. I chose a stage 3 single disc from Advanced Clutch Technology to handle my 600ish horsepower goal.
I was able to mount the drivetrain on the frame and then I had to pack the car up for storage, I temporarily ratchet strapped the body to the frame and put the car in storage while we were between houses. Next step will be to get the WTF:Performance Garage unpacked and set up so we can get this thing running!
