Aka some sort of fork pivot joint spacer?

 

No. The spacer he has is suppose to go between the TOB and fork. Whether or not its the right spec I have no idea. I think thats where the confusion is but I'm really tired...

I would leave the fork geometry alone. Extreme angles can lead to sticking.

You just need to translate the bearing itself along the input shaft closer to the PP. It should be touching the PP when the slave cylinder is almost fully collapsed.

There is no need to change the travel (there is only limited cylinder stroke available)

 

That's what I thought as well, but he showed pics of the spacer installed the way he has it to the guy that made the spacers, and he said it was installed correctly.... But yeah, a spacer between the TOB and fork would make alot more sense.

 

I thought it was supposed to go between the fork and T/O bearing too initially. That's what made the most sense.

 

But I wonder how all that mess would hold together??!?

 

ok im wondering what clutches can I use and flywheel. Im wondering for what vehicle being as im not going to do the 5speed flywheel or clutch.

Also on the shifter what showthrow can i get from what model would work?

 

well you can keep ur 5spd setup and use this spacer(if it actually works), or you can get your 5spd cps ring welded to a 6spd flywheel, and purchase a 6spd clutch.

ive also heard rumors of someone who is making a 5spd cps ring that can be bolted to a jwt or fidanza 6spd flywheel.

 

This is the flywheel I use.

The timing ring is bolted on.

The starter gear makes a bunch of noise which I haven't fixed. But overall it was a good buy.

 

Nice. Reminds me of the JUN unit, except it's not 1-piece. Chromoly FTW.

 

So it already has the timing ring on their. Remeber im not 3.5 im a dek?

 

Read people. He mentioned the fact that the timing ring is bolted on for a reason. That means it's removeable. .....

 

is the 5spd timing ring bolted or riveted on like the auto?

 

stock 5MT (A32) is bolted
stock 6MT (A33B/A34) is welded

 

Ok so let me get this steight if i bought this flywheel SR20den is talking about I could bolt my 5peed timing ring on to it and it would work with my dek motor for the 6 speed tranny

 

Timing ring bolt pattern is different between 5MT (A32) and 6MT(Z33) and there is also an offset.

A32 is bottom right


Check out the 6MT bolt-on timing ring at the bottom of the ebay ad.

You will need to get one of those timing rings that Travis had made.

this may be a stupid ? but fwd and rwd drivetrain parts can be swapped between, correct? example:clutches, flywheels, pressure plates?

 

Any RWD clutch can be used on the FWD flywheel. RWD flywheels can be used with some modification.

 

So your saying I could bolt a Z33 clutch to my VQ30DE's flywheel? Your probably talking about all 3.5L stuff though.

~Alex

 

what modifications would i need to do to install a rwd flywheel?

sr20den- what kinda starter noise? is there a different tooth pattern for a rwd and fwd 6spd flywheel?

 

Does anyone know how to get in contact with travis I need a maxima bellhousing and one of them timming rings!

 

how strong is a spec v trans in comparison to a maxima 6spd?

 

I would think it's weaker since its mated to a less powerful engine.

 

thats what id assume but i didnt kno for sure.

well im giving up on the spacer. i baught that flywheel.

 

Thats a good question as far as I know the they are the same tranny they have the same part# but the spec has a differant 6th gear. But travis did send me a pm a couple of days ago and said he has run 550whp through one with no problem and has not herd of any problem with all the guys running 400whp through them daily. Their is a guy that goes to the track by me that has one that is about 450whp that raced for the last two seasons on slicks with a turbo and nitrous and has not blew a tranyy or motor yet. I dont know his times but im guessing low 11's

 

sweet man, i wonder if they have the 3rd gear syncro problem.

 

As strong as a maxima 6-speed.

 

Which flywheel? If it's the one that SR20 linked to your decision was a bit hasty. There were/are quite a few other options to consider.

 

well which other ones can you remove the timing ring?

 

yeah let us know because I have not bought mine yet

 

JWT/Fidanza comes to mind off the top of my head. With no starter grinding to boot. The one you got is chromoly though, so i guess that's a plus.

 

should i retract the bid and get one of those? i liked this because it was cheaper and lighter.

 

You will need to buy the clutch housing ($233 from Worldpartsexpress)

PM TurboS13Hatch

 

Does anyone now if the sentra and the maxima slave cylender is the same?

 

Yes. Spec V slave cylinder = A33B slave cylinder. Same part number.

 

ok im also wondering how this is going to work. On the 03 maxima you must pull up on the shifter boot to get it to go into reverse, but on the spec v you dont. im using the spec tranny but the maxima shifter and cables with a 5speed interier boot! So what should I do?

 

Nothing. The reverse lockout feature is built into the shifter and has nothing to do with the tranny. It will work the same way.

 

SO should I get the 5th gen boot to make it work of how could i with 4th gen boot

 

i think that the best thing to do is that all the people that have some insight on this subject should just list everything that they know. i am very limited in my tranny knowlegde and this thread is something i am going to be following for a long time.

 

Good Idea! Can some make a quick list of what they know has to be done and had to do this swap not a write up but just a list.
