Are you aware the CD009 will become the lowest point on the car? They hang a LOT lower than the chassis rails, just an FYI. 

What you need is a Samsonas....... 

lol... fuark the peer pressure is real, also my car isn't that low (as you can see in the photos).

Paintjob looks mad.... did you take the strut towers off to do a rust repair while engine out?

 

E.g.

We sanded the towered back to bare metal around the rust areas, wasn't as bad as those photos. Hit is mum with rust converter and re-sealed, then painted over.

For real, I am currently shopping for a very expensive gearbox while my clutch is out. (???? cars...)

Buy once, cry once, then enjoy the benefit.

That said is there actually any benefit with a Samsonas for your intended use 😛

I looked into this for the LS! It looks like there's an adaptor plate for the LS, and the gearbox itself....

... and nothing else. No easy to find dimensions/sizes of things, no electronics, 
Noone sells the rest of the 'kit' to make it actually 'work'.

But I wish they did >.>

I'm looking at this for the Silvia using HGTs stand alone. It "appears" on paper to not be that much more than CD009 conversion, but obviously with a little more work/complexity. 

As my car will only be a little 4cyl, I am hoping I can get away with the ZF8HP70 or 75. 

Flappy paddle last minute corner entry/exit changes would be pretty hektik though...

Very sex, this is why you see M2/3/4s at Wakefield just fly out of the fish hook, all the manual boys trying to rev match, shift dis dat, they're just cycling through the gears and flying out.
