will do, thanks man

 

I just found out the 1J I bought in Japan is from a MA70 Supra. The seller is also offering me the R154 and Twinplate ORC clutch with it for about $1500 more. (the clutch is fairly new)

Soooo, If I bought this tranny, what would I need to do to make it work on my SC? My car is already manual...

I'm guessing the bellhousing is ok because it's already for a 1J?? So I'd only need the linkage and shifter? What about the driveshaft?

My other option is a JZZ30 R154....there are a few I can pick up but about the same price as the above MA70 R154 minus the ORC twinplate. Would I need a JZZ30 driftshaft with this as well? (I assume so but just want to make sure)

What do you guys think??

 

You would probably need to talk to the BL guy, I already posted in your other thread

 

roo you are correct in your thinking for the ma70 trans. If the motor doesnt come with the slave cyle ull need that also.

as for the jzz30 you can piece together a ds (it is what you use for both the ma70 converted and the soarer) but you use an mk3 front ds and your stock rear ds.

I think your best choice is the trans that is least beaten-up. sure the clutch is a great clutch but if with this clutch/trans it needs a gear or two replaced from being chewed up or the syncros redone, wouldnt it be worth not having to rebuild it and to get a fresh clutch? If the gilken+ma70 is good, then i say go with that

 

The JZZ30 tranny looks like the way to go. Less mileage on it and it comes with literally everything except the DS. There are a few JZZ30 DS available to me at the moment. That should just bolt on with the JZZ30 R154, right? Does anyone else need one? hehe They're probably cheaper than getting one custom made. The clutch is hardly used, the only thing i don't like about it is it uses the damperless plates but that just takes some getting used to. I'm going to buy it seperatly if his price is reasonable.

 

you can get a custom one piece steel driveshaft custom made for about 300ish shipped to your door

 

did you take measurements and everything???
that'd be a nice mod to be able to buy online if it didn't involve all the measurements...unless someone finally started making one, like the 240s have

 

yeah, i took measurements that the guy instructed me, he made the shaft, and it fit like a glove, perfectly balanced. couldn't be happier. Send me a PM if you want the name of the guy (he also does aluminum and CF driveshafts)

 

any updates?? and about the boostlogics idea what ever happened with that??

 

Boost Logic's R154 kit works great.

 

do they have a kit they will sell?..when i called they said it was just for customers cars that they worked on...custom for each car...do they now have a kit for it i can buy?

 

Does it extend the shifter for the SC300/400 for the R154? If so I would do it if not what's the point... You cant get the one from the Aussie's cheaper? Just asking

 

do the ausies have a fix for this...or a kit?....link please

 

Durr,
You've got pm

 

has anyone done this? I'm smack dab in the middle of it and would like to know what other people got for measurements..... I could probably come up with a relativelly inexpensive kit for this if people are interested....
I'd like to know exactly how much material was added to the housing and the shift lever.
