Hey all,

Keen to know if there have been any further advances or anyone doing dct conversions yet?

I'm seeing more stand alone tranmission ecus around.. but not many conversions yet.

I posted last year about potentially doing this behind my FJ20 which currently has a 34 NEO box on it.

Surely the tech will become more available and cheaper with time.

Anyone?

I was going to install my DCT kit after the new 3.2 was dialled in on the 5 speed, but after it made 800hp at 4900rpm on the hub dyno before lifting the head, I'm thinking it's just going to explode the DCT. I'll be selling my whole kit soon and going built auto.

After talking with some people experienced with the DCT box in race cars, they've convinced me the box will hold the power if I put a set of clutches and baskets in. So it's getting that, a new exhaust and rear turbine housing, Nexus R5 and rewire, then DCT install.

Are you going to use their shifter assembly aswell? Are you using the domiwerks adaptor?

I have been reading into this conversion for something different from the th400 i have in it at the moment.

Are you going to have to mod the tunnel at all with a 8hp? I have one sitting there out of an amarok and it looks massive

From reading the supplied docs from HPR a small amount of massaging is required predominantly in vicinity of the transfer case. And a small bit where the 8hp breather is.

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
