Dan, Are you going T56? After weighing my options, I think I'm leaning more towards the Nissan RS5R30A (Z32) 5spd. It's every bit as beefy and about 1/4 the price of a T56. Clearly an adapter plate will be needed, but I don't think I'll have to cut the trans-tunnel (eyeballing at this point). The 300ZX guys seem to be happy with them.

SQC, I wasn't sure where to really post this thread. However, I decided on the Newbie section as I will starting from square one(again). It's a familiar story to those familiar with the StarQuest cars: engine fire. I've been toiling with what to do with this car for months. Rebuild?... 4g63?... After running the numbers on several builds weighing cost:performance goals, I finally settled on a force inducted LSx based v8. Here is my cross-post from LS1tech.com: http://ls1tech.com/f...s-together.html I can see there are already two LSx builds on-going in the Hybrids sub-forum. I hope to also contribute to keeping these cars alive(even bastardized).

Get together July 21st at Redline Raceway

Sorry I couldn't make it out guys... The idle control system in the car started freaking out while under load. It took a long time to figure out what was causing the bucking and hesitation. I was ripping out plugs, plug wires, checking electrical connections. I had to acquire replacement parts and swap it out Saturday. Moral of that story... go MPI and stand alone... -
