Well the xterra/pathfinder tail housing swap is a no-go. Apperantly someone already tried it on a forum I'm on (Zilvia.net) and things didn't line up how you would think.. Not sure of the details yet but I'm asking to find out to relay it to everyone else. ( ._.)

when you get on the throttle how laggy is the speedo?
also with your short shifter how were you able to maintain reverse lockout? tried putting mine in and spring has zero function because the shifter is so far push down because of how long it is since the shifter rod was shortened so much

If I were to take a guess, I'd say maybe a half second delay. It's noticable if you're closely watching it and rapidly varying speed, but it's not bad at all. Under normal driving conditions, I don't even notice it. Again it's a gauge I don't even watch that often, I just like it there so I know how fast I'm cruising down the highway so I don't get pulled over.
Shifter, I don't have a short shifter, it's the stock shifter that I cut and welded a big angle on. The reverse lockout is part of that cap that holds the base of the shifter in place. I can take a picture tonight and post it and that might help. Pics worth a thousand words right

That speedo sounds good enough! I think I'll go this route instead of all new gauges
I know what you're talking about, my oem shifter works fine. I just had my short shifter modded so it sits in the proper place so I can use my shift boot but I ran into the problem I am having now. Guess its just going to have to be this way.

And there we have it.

turbomati your solution is the most reasonable so far. may have to look into going that route. I finally got my car running with an exhaust so I can hear something other than the engine. Also did the baptizing drive to work and made it. The 3.9 rear end with 6 spd makes for fast and furious like shifting, getting up to 40 mph and i'm in 6th, that is a lot of shifting lol. can't wait to get the 3.26 rear end on. although I still do about 2600rpm at 60 mph.
the GPS speedo came as well, that is going in next. finally can officially be in the club
cheers

PS I sent this to Collins but heard nothing back, here is my contribution that we can make better, a non-30 page forum thread for how this swap goes. I don't have the shifter modification stuff in there, I may modify and add stuff as I feel like it.

im trying to fit this tranny into my supra
i measure my w58 from the base of the bellhousing to the center of the shifter and its around 30 inches.
It seems the shortest this tranny can get to is 34 inches can anyone confirm? if thats the case then theres no way the shifter will work in my mkiv supra lol

subeone i am working on getting it down to 30 inches. im fabbing my own shifter bracket. see below.
this will also put the shifter in a good place in my sc300 and get rid of the annoyingly S bracketed shifter that i made up before. this does raise the shifter up about an inch though, so i am going to have to cut down the top of the shifter by that much and then reweld the threaded portion back on.
