What's the chances of a SR gearbox fitting behind a Z18? What about the angle that NAPS(Z) boxes sit at?
- good FJ boxes are a bit hard to find as they are getting on in years and mileage and the majority of them have the same problem i.e. stuffed 2nd gear synchros. If you want to re-build a Z18 box and can identify a model that was offered with one fitted in Aus, CBC will usually be able to supply all of the bits. The bearings are no problem as the old ones will have the part numbers on them and you'll be able to in most cases order heavy duty equivalents but the rest of the bits could be a bit hard to source if they are something special. I don't know the ins & outs of a Z18 box at all, others on the list (Errol?) most likely do and could have some better advise/input for you Pete. regards Terry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Tom Richardson Sent: Sunday, 2 June 2002 3:56 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: z18et gearbox Wouldn't it just be easier (and probably cheaper) to fit a FJ20 turbo gearbox? For the clutch, I would try sourcing a beefier pressure plate and using the stock 225mm friction plate Hope this helps.. - Tom Pete Parnell wrote: > Hi all, back again for some more info. > > I will be soon rebuilding my Z18ET gearbox (new bearing and second > gear synchro).
