5 speed tranny question with SR20 swap

[punkzdriver]

Random question regarding the SR20DE(T) swap. When using the new 5 speed transmission, what is used for a MC? Do you use the stock Roadster MC? A 240sx MC? Something all together different?

[greydog]

I'd think the mc would be dependent on what brakes you're going to use, not what engine/trans.
If you're using Spriso's Z32 setup, I'd follow his recommendation (to the letter).
If using the Volvo setup there have been a few different mcs used.
Anything else and you're probably on your own but the means for determining what mc to use is pretty well documented on the net. It's basically a volume and leverage thing.
I'd determine what brake system I'm interested in running; then search until you can't think of any other terms to search for.

Is he asking about the clutch master for the tranny mated to the SR20?

[punkzdriver]

Yes. In regards to the clutch master cylinder.

Also, for those of you have used the Spriso jig, which hole does the shifter come through? The Roadster 4 speed of 5 speed hole?

[pebbles]

if itsa 67.5 the hole is huge. so it wont matter.
The sr 5sp should come thru where the stock 4 speed shifter comes through on a "giraffe hauler".

Pretty sure I am using a stock roadster clutch master..

But I could be wrong..

[datsunfreak]

Almost every Nisssan uses the same size master cylinder, so the stock one should work just fine.

As I recall, the S13/S14 240SX master cylinder has a different bolt pattern (diagonal instead of vertical bolts). For something newer that will still bolt up, you'd need one from a 280Z.

Use the stock roadster 5/8" master cylinder.

Our JIG is designed to put the shifter thru the center of the shift hole on a 1600 body-- a 2000 will have to have the hole adjusted.

If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask--

Sort of on point; how 'bout a 6 speed on an SRL body with your jig? I suppose that since the tunnel will need enlarging it doesn't much matter, but I'm curious.

thx!

The 6-speed trans is 10mm longer than the 5-speed, so it is a similar fit.
