turbotim

hey i am putting a 84 bg t5 in my 85 turbo auto and was wondering if i have to change the ecu. Also, what does a( strait shift t5) mean ?

turbotim

hello

turbotim

i also wanna know why they say to keep my old driveplate when i take out my automatic trans.

turbotim

guys?

#1: It's BW (for Borg Warner) T5 transmission.
#2: No, you do not need to swap ecu's.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manual_transmission

Straight shift = old school lingo meaning "manual transmission". I'm pretty sure only 50yr+ old racing guys would ever call it that.

Driveplate?

Do you mean FLEXPLATE?

I need help, i am having trouble finding a turbo flywheel for cheap! I found a non turbo flywheel in my town, and the guy says it will work. Then i am going to order the turbo clutch, will this set up work, or do i have to have a turbo flywheel?

turbotim

and yeah i guess i meant, why would some one tell me to keep the flexplate, or driveplate.

turbotim

hey dude i asked if a non turbo fly wheel will work on my car because my car is turbo the correct answer is yes, non turbo zs used a 240 mm flywheel and so did the 84 to 86 turbo. Now the 87 to 89 turbos used a 250 mm flywheel. And thanks for your help. im just gonna get a na flywheel mon. And do i have to put in the trans with the wiring harness, cause i was just gonna jump my neutral saftey switch for now, then i can run my own wiring later, is that okay? and thanks for the list, and youre help bro!

turbotim

Did any na z31s come with a borgwarner, or were all non turbo just the standard nissan trans?

NismoPick

Click: http://www.az-zbum.com/information.transmission.shtml

reddzx

All NA car 84 -89 had the 71C trans, only 84-86 turbo car had thr Borg Warner T-5

turbotim

thanks for the help, all i need to get to start is a clutch kit, pedal, engine seal, trans seal, master and slave, and guys can i just go to a hard ware store to get the bolts for the clutch pressure plate and flywheel? Or could i use my automatic driveplate bolts for the manuel flywheel? MAn i cant wait to drive my z its been down for a couple years.

reddzx

all 84-89 na cars and 84-86 turbo cars had the same 240mm flywheel. I have a 240mm fly wheel for $50 shipped, a brand new never used Nissan OE clutch kit for $125 shipped. Both fit the above cars. I also have a complete 5 speed conversion with 5 speed but it's local pickup only.

reddzx

Get hardened bolts of the proper grade or suffer failure.

turbotim

Can i buy hardned bolts from some where else besides nissan and off the computer, or should i just go to nissan and pay And thanks for offering me that fly wheel and clutch kit man, but i already got some from napa.damet! are the front seals on these transmissions vunurable to leaking? I ordered the rear seal, and the front of the trans i got is dirty looks black like dryed oil with clutch fibers! Maybe the dudes engine seal was leaken or maybe that front gasket on the trans is leaking should i just put tranny fluid in it and stand it up on the bell housing and leave it there for a couple days to see if it leaks? And thanks for helping me guys ive never took on a job this big, and certian people dowt me, so help me prove them wrong, also is there any way i can check to see if this trans is good before i put it in?

reddzx

Check the gear oil in the transmission for metal particles.

turbotim

I will thanks, can i use my auto matic trans mount ,or cross member, what is a cross member, is that the thing that looks like a banana and has weights on it?

WanganDevilZ

Fact: If your 5-Speed tranny will not fit with your auto mount. Then no.

My 82zx has an automatic transmission mount from an 81zx, with an RB20det Engine and 5-Speed Tranny... Completely different engine, and mount.

Crossmember. Also known as: Banana. That has weights on it.

Weight: What every car aims for. Not speed or handling. Heaviness.

reddzx

Auto trans mount will not work on the T-5

turbotim

man that stinks, i was hoping i could still use it, i wonder if the non turbo tranny mount will work theres two by me, there trans are aready takin but maybe they still have the mount! Does anybody have a mount for sale? I thought i could get away with the auto tranny mount, i thought that i could drill holes or fabricate something to make it work oh well.

reddzx

Give it a shot

turbotim

Yeah will see, hey can i use my automatic flexplate bolts, to bolt on my manuel flywheel, or do i have to get new bolts, and can i buy hardened bolts of the proper grade from somewhere besides nissan, maybe locally?
