A&Q about 350Z
Q:
I'm pretty sure you'll need to do some major fabrication to the subframe as the mount is in a completely different position. The 'box is also much larger than an 02A or J so may cause other issues with pipe clearance etc.
The people I have spoken to who have done it said it was way too much trouble for an extra gear and wish they had never thought about it.
A:
hmm I might stick with a 5 speed box then, or maybe swap the box at a later date. Would it be worth putting a different box on at all? Ive heard I can use the mk2 gerbox still.
A:
You can use the rod change bucket of gears Mk2 'box but only if you stick to 150BHP. Many people use the VR6 02A as it's stronger. Best bet though is to use the Mk4 02J which you can pick up for next to nothing and will obviously be much newer and done less miles than an an 02A. My 02J had done delivery milage!
A:
interesting.
any idea what parts i would need to get with the engine? I mean stuff from the donor car?
A:
To fit an 02J I presume you mean?
Gearbox, starter, shift cables & mechanism and speedo drive
A:
So the mk2 ancilliaries can be used-header tank etc.
I know i need to use mk2 16v fuel pump, but I may be starting with a mk2 16v base car.
A:
How willl fitting a 20v turbo engine affect chassis mods like anti-roll bars, and strut braces?
A:
I just thought of a few more questions!
if i use mk4 5 speed box, will it be geared to reach higher top end speeds? and what will i need gear linkage wise?
to fit audi tt lump, will i need to modify the throttle system? is the pedal box required?
