Fitz Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Okay, so I found a GA15 on the cheaps with low miles. Currently, I have a dead-in-the-water A14 in my 210, with everything attached being mechanically sound.What I have: GA15 with no flywheel A14 (dead) with new flywheel A14 intake and Weber carb 60-series 4-speed, new clutch I have several motor-head supervisors willing to help me, as I'm a complete newb.I've read this topic here: http://community.ratsun.net/topic/15259-ga16de-rwd-trans/, and have some questions. Is there a difference in input shaft length between a 63-series 5-speed and my 4-speed? (Will I have to drill the crank?) Can I substitute the A14's flywheel for the GA's, or should I place an order for one? Am I naive enough that I should abandon this on my time frame of 2 months? Thanks for the help, Ratsun!(There's not much to even take a picture of; this is just theory I guess) Quote Link to comment

I guess I answered my own question about the flywheel. I think I'll probably be able to use the A-series one. All that's left is mounting and switching to a carburetor, along with some firewall work (angle grinder?). Still unsure if the the input shaft/crank needs to be modified. Quote Link to comment
king bee66 Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 oh sorry, i wasnt paying a lot of attention i guess. what i was alluding to was that its probably going to be a lot more work turning a fwd in to a rwd then you are anticipating. also whats the real gain? it only has a bit more displacement then your stock motor. a ka motor would probably much easier and cheaper in the long run, plus its already rwd and its 2.4 liters Quote Link to comment
king bee66 Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 you really want to stick your distributor into your firewall? Quote Link to comment

I was under the impression the only real change to be made from FWD to RWD on this was flipping the flywheel around. If I didn't know anything about it at all, i would have sworn it WAS a RWD engine. Am I wrong about this? I'm using this engine because I'm in the midwest where Nissans are virtually non-existant. I've been trying for months on Ratsun trying to buy a KA of people, but everyone's falling through on it. No, I don't want to stick the dizzy through the firewall, but I could go the crank trigger route. Quote Link to comment
