slinginabullet Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Nice find good progress. Post 13 2nd pic the lip right by the trans tunnel depending how you mount your engine cut that lip vertically on either side and bend the lip up or down either way I had to do it when I put in my ka.

TheCiscoKid Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 Dunno if its relevant to you, but the 240sx guys that keep their KA will swap out the 5 speed computer for one out of an automatic car. I believe the automatic computers are not speed/rev limited. Should be pretty easy to find one in a Jyard if you want to get some more rpm's out of her Quote Link to comment
620Reaper Posted January 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Thanks guys Im gonna take your guys advise.:cool: I bought some mud flaps for my truck today too.:D Im not gonna put them on till the truck is painted:P Quote Link to comment
620Reaper Posted January 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Ive been looking at other peoples builds and Ive seen that they use the 5 speed that comes with the L series... How is this possible and does this work better then using the tranny from the KA...:blink: Quote Link to comment

How is this possible and does this work better then using the tranny from the KA...:blink: Well, all Nissan 2.4L engines basically share the same bolt pattern from an L24, Z24, KA24 etc. So using a bell housing from say a Z24 onto your dual cam KA allows you to pick your tranny to bolt up (provided the back end of the bell fits the gearbox of course) that matches the driveline you already have. No need to get a new one made or anything, just find a bell, possible input shaft and countershaft bearing swap (easy thing to do if you have a gear puller), put the 2 halves together with some good sealant like Hondabond or Yamabond, and bolt it all back up. I noticed however that my KA sat forward about 1 inch @ the carrier bearing mount from it's original position, and the motor is back pretty damn far in the engine bay. I'm reworking a more satisfactory mounting system for all that. Quote Link to comment

It's not hard to do the minor fab work to use the ka trans. I like it has smoother shifts and tighter feel in the gears. Just slot your L trany mount cut down the drive shaft and dust cover.

Just wondering, I wasnt sure why others were doing it, and if it was a better idea or not.:D Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Ya it's basically so you don't have to do any driveshaft work. You have to do the bellhousing swap to get the correct 'lean' with the L series trans. I just used a 5-speed that was behind a Z24 and out of a 720 which is the same length as the stock L series trans. Bolted up to the KA and right into the stock holes in the crossmember.
