charlton Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I've seen this come up as a suggestion quite a few times recently in various places, the concencous seems to be 'the boxes are plentiful and will only cost you about a grand' What are the pros & cons, does the transmission tunnel need to be modified much and would it make things difficult to upgrade to the Getrag later? Has anyone used this box for a conversion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Not strong enough. No-go IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I've heard people run big bhp on these boxes with no issues at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankfully I decided against it as I want an OE 6sp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_harmer32 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I thought the earlier boxes had trouble later ones are ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkddav3 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Unless your running big power I'm sure they would be fine. Plenty of turbo'd and charged 350z's in the uk running 500bhp+ on stock boxes with no problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mharvey Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I thought the earlier boxes had trouble later ones are ok? Yep from Research I've been doing recently the older ones (CD008 iirc) are weak, the newer (CD009) ones are much stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlton Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 I had heard the earlier ones were weaker but still capable, aren't the boxes Getrag? I'm BPU and won't be going single anytime soon as it's either change the gearbox or turbo, not both Is there much modification to the transmission tunnel? I wouldn't want to hack away at it as I'd like to eventually convert to the V160/161 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike2JZ Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Has anyone in the club actually done this conversion yet? Thought the last guy to try with his 2J 350z gave up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
