jesusno2 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Anyone got one in working condition I would like to buy it asap. Link to comment
Skib Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 tall 5th gear trans came stock in 83 280zx N/A only. just in case anyone might think they have one. Im sure Mike can drop in with some more specific physical identifiers for this trans. Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Be easier to find an S15 6-speed. FS6R92A has a 0.7674 gear! Good for lower torque engines 2-liter or less non-turbo. Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 '80 had a 0.773 overdrive. The '81-'83 had 0.745. No way to tell from the outside really and the difference between these two isn't much anyway it's 23% vs. 26% overdrive. If you are sure it's a Z car transmission then.... L series transmissions with this shifter pin location won't have the 0.773 or 0.745 overdrive The tall overdrive L 5 speeds from the zx WILL have the tall shift pin location like this... .

ggzilla Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 That looks like Hitachi logo. Did they make the 71-series transmissions? Link to comment
datzenmike Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 That's a good question. Sure looks like they cast that part though. I've never heard it mentioned where Nissan got their standard transmissions from. The Japanese have a history of several car makers part owning a company that makes car parts or whole assemblies. Fuji Heavy Industries is one. This is why the Subaru diff from the 90s fits a 60s 510 and why the arly 80s Toyota 4x4 front 4 piston calipers are a direct bolt on to the 240Z car. Lots of co-operation over there. Jatco is jointly owned by several companies and they make automatic transmissions for their domestic and world wide customers. The Nissan standard transmissions I heven't heard where they are made. Also they don't seem to be used by other makers so maybe they have their own plant? That might explain the Hitachi logo on a part. I've had a few apart and although I haven't looked for maker's names I haven't noticed any either. I will take a closer look. Too bad these were made over 30 years ago... hard to track stuff down. Link to comment
ggzilla Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Good point. Nissan R90 transmission was made by Borg Warner Nissan R93 was made by Aichi Machine (who also made certain Nissan engines) Fuji used a lot of Hitachi parts besides the differential. Fuji and Nissan were partners for a while (each was owned by the same bank) Link to comment

ggzilla Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Fuji Heavy Industries makes the Subaru brand of cars. Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Subaru is part of Fuji; it's always been the car manufacturing division of Fuji Heavy Industries. Nissan owned 20% of Fuji Heavy Industries starting in 1968- it was part of the consolidation of manufacturers forced by the Japanese Government (same reason Nissan acquired Prince in 1966). Nissan sold the 20% to GM, who then sold some to Toyota. Link to comment
