datto1000wagon Jeff builds and races cars. So what have you ever done thats good ? He was talking about boxes not A or L series engines. This is an L series box into A series engine thread.

i think what he's trying to say is the A series will take a while to kill the 63 box out of the L series...

um yeh your right this isnt a thread about the motors but it relates directly to them if you hadnt firgured the motor drives the gearbox

jeff was stating they dont last long behind L series motors and i merely stated that L series motors produce more torque and in which case they will break a 63a alot easier then what an A would

and another thing i believe errol of datrats is running a 63a behind his 2L L series race motor now surely if it can stand up to a 2L race motor it will surely handle the most powerfull A series motors

and what does it matter what ive done?
what does it matter if you have built and raced cars?

Tsk Tsk lads. Haven't we all learned to get along? Surely we should all gang up on just one person... Mik (unfamila) would be a good starting point...

Your car sux Mik... Poo poo...

I'm just jelous that I can't afford a 1200 and that I am stuck with a 120Y...

Edit... Anywhoo, Given the 63a is rated to 175Nm of torque the reality of breaking one as easily as a 56 or 60 series is remote, unless you are doing burnouts or clutch dumping with slicks etc. Especially if you take some extra precautions like shotpeening the gears etc. Woody already has the A series 63a box and has busted the input and 2nd from memory so let him fix his bloody box!!!

Rev to the rescue once again

Yes there is!
The OD of the L series input shaft is bigger than the OD of the A series spigot bush. So even with NO bush, the input shaft still wont fit in the end of the crank.

Providing the bloke doing the turning knows what he's doing, a lathe works fine. Christ, if anyone need one done I can get it done for you.

damn a14force i was soooo going to work tomorow to just do that. now i have to remove everything to lathe down the input shaft. lol
at least ive got a box to work off.
thanks for everybodys help, with any luck ill be running at the festival of sporting cars on easter weekend at mt panorama so id better pull my finger out and get it done.
cheers kurt

sorry, no gang bang here don.... but some time have to take it like you give it.... so i will cry like a baby either way

hey what about if i machine up a collar to sit in the crankshaft spigot hole and then step it up to accomodate a shorter l series input shaft. so machine one side to be the same as an a series spigot and then machine a step up adaptor kind of thing which has the l series hole in the other end. (in more detail) which takes out all of the time of striping the lot just to get to the cluster?
at least i know what im saying i dont know if you guys will work it out from what i said.
just a thought

Thanks for opinion datto1000wagon but I did read the thread - and yes I do understand that Kurt has an A series. Don't understand the air of hostility in your reply but to each his own - probably why some of the long term members drift away I guess.

Kurt - put the 260Z idea on your 'to do' list.
Closer ratios will get the most out of your A series - it would be worth the effort!!
Cheers
