Ash's j160 exploration

[Ashkellybarr]

Hey guys,

So I've been looking into j160 and the asin AZ6 in particular.
I've had loads of messages about it so thought I would put all the content up on this forum as well for everyone

Bare with me as I sort posts and photos out

~{J160 expeditions - part 1}~

a. random blabbering
b. 6th gear and shift location

A:
alrightie, so I have a J160 and want to run it in the rina

couple things have come up with regards to the box but also staying A series motor

first is ill be using the SQ engineering adaptor
http://www.sq-engine...dapter-kit.html
positives are,
-I can sell my A series bell housing to help fund it (leen reuses it)
-my aw11 has a 225mm clutch kit and flywheel, the altezza uses a 225mm clutch so I can run a 225mm kit (225 doesn't clear the housing in T40/50),
not hugely important but it means both cars will run the exact same MRP flywheel, carbon kev plate and rated pres plate

second is this 6th gear from a Nissan S15 everyone has been talking about
for those not familiar, the boxs are both asin AZ6 that have then been sold to Nissan and Toyota (and others) so it would make sence the parts swap between them
reason being that the Nissan 6th gear would make the yota 6th longer, better highway mileage, lower revs on motor over long distances etc etc
ive been lucky enough to pick up a s15 6sp dirt cheap so ill be dissecting that and documenting it up against the j160, and all importantly seeing if the 6th gearset can swap onto the yota shafts

third is the strength, now the ASIN AZ6 is said to be very strong, but most reports show after 220nm or more theres a chance to kick thrust washers out on 3rd and 4th
all is explained and resolved in this link. the link is however for the nissan 6sp so if the Nissan shafts and Toyota shafts in my 2 boxes match up then we can all do the same mod to the j160, where reports of 500nm reliability is being said by Nissan guys

links don't work

keen to see how it goes

Some trans have all the countershaft as 1pc. Do you know if these are able to be seporated?

Edit: just hit up google images, this popped up from club4ag. It looks th me that the countershaft is infact 1pc. Which means you cant simply swap 6th gear over. Perhaps you can swap the whole gearset, but then you will have a different input shaft spline (and maybe output) plus the nissan box doesnt run a speed sensor from the gearbox, it uses a diff or abs sensor.

I'm sure you can find the other one on the SQ Engineering site

My 2c. I've been talking to neat box's and he is really easy to deal with and from all reports his work is very good.

I'm lookong at circlip mod for my 160 altezza box. He is absolutely certain the circlip mod will work exactly the same as the Nissan version..

Thanks for posting that. I would be real interested in the outcome with Neat.

Just waiting for a confirmation from the ginger beer and to the project going ahead and I'll be doing the circlip mod.

As a rough rule of thumb he feels the modded box is good for around the middle high 200rwkw as then it starts stripping teeth..

On this, before I start.a specific thread on the topic, does anyone have any advice tips or tricks for pulling the box down to send off the shaft?

I've never pulled. Abox down myself. But I have a half stocked she'd and a mechanic mate who is pretty clever...
