flyingbrick Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Hey. That's wrong. Without an ecu you can select all gears manually- you just need to use a few relays switched by the inhibitor switch to tell the box which gear you want. There are two solenoids and each available combination of on and off gives you a different gear. I can look it up when needed but it will be something like 1st = s1 on s2 off 2nd = s1 on s2 on 3rd = s1 off s2 off 4th = s1 off s2 on The inhibitor switch is just a slide switch that tells the ecu what position the shift lever is in. The switch is on the side of the gearbox and you just wire it up to switch a bunch of relays to activate the solenoids like above. I had mine so that when in D you had 3rd and when you pressed OD you got 4th (wired up so that the switch only had power while in D) Then you pulled the lever back to select the lower gears. It's easier to do than it is to explain haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post R100 Posted June 9, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2016 After lifting the body off and on a few times i finally have the engine sitting almost where i want it. Front pulley sits more or less in the same place as the original TD27. I have used a Safari bellhousing bolted to a 300ZX TT auto box. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cletus Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 What are you doing for a sump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R100 Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 What are you doing for a sump? Picture below is the standard 4x4 Safari Sump If i cut 6cm out of the bowl part this will bring it inline with the very bottom of the bell-housing. No parts of the engine/sump or transmission sump will sit below the front cross-member. These engines take 10 to 11 liters of oil including filters. Since i wont be doing any 4 wheel driving or climbing 45 degree slopes i should be fine. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
