So I read this article about an AWD Z33. It has a stagea diff in the front, with the atessa bits also.

http://www.superstreetonline.com/featuredv...ld_process.html

Why cant this be done for an M33? pedal box, clutch etc from a V35, box from one also, all the bits a pieces thats are required.........

I dont think it would exactly be an easy job, but to me, might be well worth it!! im guessing cost would be a big factor.

i wonder how different the RWD box is to the AWD one? is it just the rear housing??

im just speculating here.... ohh and wishing lol

yup thats probably it. and it would have been NA as well.

its entirely possible that they never had a manual option as the box may not have been able to handle the torque of the VQ25DET?

Hi Ian

Talk to Jetwreck when he gets back from Hol's. I think he has some ideas about doing this.

Was there no manual M35 Stagea? I saw one on Yahoo Auctions a while back and it looked factory. I just assumed it was. Maybe it was RWD.

The Stagea 350s came in a 6 speed manual, it was an Autech version. I reckon if you could get that in your VQ25DET it would be sweet....if you can get it in.......if it is suitable....if it was cheap enough ...so many if's

ohh no i dont want to go RWD, im staying AWD. im just saying compared to AWD, converting to RWD manual would be easy!

350S was AWD? but manual??

I do believed so... but all I can find now is pages like this stating it as a FR platform

Damn it.

Damn it.

Just had a look at that page, and it's listed the Axis 350-S using the GH-M35 chassis code, with no "N" in there, so it looks like it's RWD only... The info could be incomplete and/or incorrect, though.

Hi Ian,

I'm currently looking into this.....best option from what I can see as we basically have the R34 GTR driveline is the Getrag out of an R34. The biggest problem from what I can see is the bell housing and input shaft. I am hoping that the 350Z bellhousing will bolt up to the box but am still to confirm. Seems like a big hassle at the moment but if I can nut out the kit it should all fall into place....hopefully :happy:

The other option I am looking into is to dress up the gearbox with a better shift kit, bigger oil cooler, stall converter and maybe a manual valve body.....also putting in paddle shifters....could be the option as you would get it done for under $2,000 and if you have the resources from your own garage.

anyway have to go my boss want me to go and get pizza!

cheers

well, you do it first craig and ill think about it :)

nah id like to keep the auto if possible, but im prepared to go manual if there isnt TOO much trouble.

but getting the auto box shifting a little faster would be nice!

paddle shifter is on my list already, im so lazy i dont wanna move my arm to the gear selector to change gears. yes yes i hear you, leave it in 'D', but wheres the fun in that?

  • 3 months later...

hey just thought of something......what gearbox's does the Nissan Pathfinder come with?....is there a manual gearbox? If there is it should bolt up to our motor and probably uses the same transfer case.

Part number anyone?

I'm not really into 4wd but I would have thought that the Pathfinder would have a more substantial front drive than the tiny stagea front driveshaft. Maybe the X-trail would be more likely to have something suitable? If you are keen start off by having a look under a few Nissan 4wds.

Pathfinder uses the VQ35....same spec motor as the 350Z, V35 & M35...patrol is 4.1lt isn't it?

VQ40 in the Pathy.. and the Navara, both with manual or auto.

Murano is FWD based and uses the same CVT as the Maxima, so no go there.

    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
