1990-96 Nissan 300ZX 5-Speed Transmission Adapter with Flywheel GF-LSZ32-S

Description This adapter kit will allow you to mate a Nissan 300zx (Z32) 5-speed transmission to a LS Short Crank engine (i.e.; 4.8, 5.3, 5.7, 6.0, and 6.2 liter gen III or IV Vortec engines). The 300zx Z32 transmission offers immense strength and smooth shifting required to run an LS engine. The kit includes a custom steel flywheel, 3/8" steel powder coated adapter plate, pilot bushing adapter, and hardware. The flywheel can be used with only 1990-1996 naturally aspirated 300zx transmission with either the naturally aspirated or Twin Turbo (TT) pressure plate/clutch setup . The flywheel has provisions for both. It uses a stock 300zx pilot bushing with a machined steel adapter (both included) The kit also uses the 300zx starter mounted to the side of the transmission. This kit will not work with a Twin Turbo Z32 transmission. The TT transmission has a slightly larger bellhousing, which moves the starter out and further away from the flywheel ring gear. Therefore, the TT the starter will not engage this flywheel. The GF-LSZ33-S Kit uses a 300zx pressure plate/clutch and throw-out bearing. Either the naturally aspirated or twin-turbo pressure plate/clutch disc can be used. To streamline your install, the following bolt kits are sold separately- Flywheel to crank bolt kit - GF-LSFB-SET Pressure plate to flywheel bolt kit - GF-Z32PPB-KIT Pressure plate dowel pins for flywheel - GF-LSZ32-D Kit Contents 1x Flywheel 1x Steel Adapter Plate 3/8 inch 1x Pilot Bushing Adapter (uses stock 300ZX pilot bushing provided) 5x M10 x 1.5 x 25mm Hex Head Bolts 2x M10 x 1.5 x 25mm Socket Head Bolts (for bolting adapter plate to the engine) 5x M10 x 1.5 x 50mm Hex Head Bolts (for bolting transmission to the adapter plate) 4x M8 x 1.5 x 25mm Button Head Cap Screws (used if rear main cover bolts interfere with adapter plate. If needed these bolts can replace stock bolts) Not Included:  Hardware to mount Flywheel to Crank (6 x M11 x 1.5) or Pressure Plate to Flywheel (9 x M8 x 1.25). It's recommended to replace these fasteners or use stock hardware. Installation Steps Mount black adapter plate to GM LS Engine. Install the pilot bushing adapter back into the back of the crankshaft bore until flush with outer edge (Press-in). Install flywheel with clutch assembly, using either stock or replacement flywheel bolts. Also, make sure to use the proper tools to align the clutch disc. A clutch disc alignment tool usually comes with the clutch kit. Install transmission and use provided hardware to attach to the black adapter plate. Check starter clearance. If there is any interference in the starter, grind the small shield near the starter teeth. Neither the seller nor the manufacturer, G-Force Performance Products, assumes liability for any damages. Other Notes Use standard GM torque specs when tightening fasteners to the LS crank, block, etc. Use Nissan specs when tightening the pressure plate, etc. Whether you are doing a LS swap into a 300zx or an old hotrod, this is a great alternative to the more expensive T56 or weaker GM 5 speeds. The Z32 transmission has been proven to withstand over 700 horsepower in the stock state and is readily available fromsalvage yards or classified ads.
