Cuts metal like mad Posted September 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Got my output shaft seal in today. Called around and found that the autozone down the street was the only place that had it, and it was the cheapest, AND its a normally stocked item! Whoo! When I pulled the old one It looked brand new, felt new, other than the marks from removing it. When I put the new one in it made sense as to why it leaked... it wasn't fully seated! Fumb Duck! Oh well. No more leaks now. She still smokes like an old whore though, I may do the valve stem seals next, the compression is great so thats my guess for the oil burning. Also a guy on HBZ contacted me about the kanji under my dash, hes chinese, and says in chinese it symbolizes 28 just like 72240z said it means in japanese, cool. He also says this "The no. 28 must be a lucky number. In Chinese, 28 loosely translates to Easy Prosper. The car would bring you good fortune." :D Quote Link to comment

Cuts metal like mad Posted November 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 Currently, this is just proof of concept. Its coming back out to put the clutch on, and start the "other" mods (still secret)... I just wanted to prove to the disbelievers that a KA WILL bolt to the L tranny. Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 ... I just wanted to prove to the disbelievers that a KA WILL bolt to the L tranny. why wouldn't it? Z guys bolt KA trannys to L6's all the time Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 was no disbelief there. more the fact it was not the right angle for the eng/trans without swapping the bellhousing... Quote Link to comment
Cuts metal like mad Posted November 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 why wouldn't it? Z guys bolt KA trannys to L6's all the time They usually swap to the L-series bell. For some reason there is a lot of confusion on the subject... I've gotten flamed over on Hybridz for saying this is possible. Quote Link to comment
MAG58 Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 (edited) Its coming back out to put the clutch on, and start the "other" mods (still secret) 2 more cylinders? :lol: but seriously, cool swap. If you don't mind me asking though why stick with the L28 trans besides the fact it can be done? The 71C trannies are stronger... Edited November 18, 2009 by MAG58 Quote Link to comment

If you don't mind me asking though why stick with the L28 trans besides the fact it can be done? The 71C trannies are stronger... Its what I have. The engine didn't come with a tranny. Izzo; The engine will run no matter what angle its at... so there is no "right angle". Angle on matters for guys who can't weld, or are affraid to make an oil pan. OR who have a different oil pan than I do. BAH... its gonna work... Quote Link to comment
Cuts metal like mad Posted November 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 was no disbelief there. more the fact it was not the right angle for the eng/trans without swapping the bellhousing... There is no "right" angle really... As stock the ka tilts to the drivers side, and the L-series tilts to the passenger side. Personally I think they had it right with the L-series. More weight on the passenger side is better for handling than the opposite. The only real problem is needing to make an oil pan and mounts... but I'd need to fab mounts for the Z any way, and the oil pan on my motor is 'different' than others... you'll see, I'm know what I'm doing. Started fabbing the mounts today... should have some cool stuff to share by next week. Quote Link to comment
Guest DatsuNoob Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Whadja make the mounts out of? Quote Link to comment
