David P Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Be aware that T.T. and N/A flex-plates are different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny mac Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 Ah ok. I'm after a TT plate What's the differences ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Hole spacings for torque converter and the offset spacing is different, the bolts are different spec too. T.T. spec marked "11". The centre reinforcing "washers" are same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny mac Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 Ah I see well I'd be happy with a turbo flex plate and washer does the n/a flex plate have the same pcd at the back of the crank as a turbo model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keron Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 yes just the torque converter holes are spaced differently. the crank holes are the same... think Ive only got na stuff left... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 T.T. torque converter fixing holes are larger and spaced further out on the plate and that alone is different enough for the N/A plate to be incompatible, yet there are other odd differences too. I don't have pics to show it, yet you will find that the OE assembly spot marks are assembled on opposite sides, N/A fitted so you can see it and T.T. fitted so you can't? and the flex-plate "form" is attached to the crank the opposite way around. A T.T. torque converter is 18-20mm? larger/thicker than N/A, most of this extra length is accommodated by the T.T. box having an 18mm? deeper bell housing and a transmission mount shaped like a boomerang, however, the torque converter is spaced slightly differently too, by reversing the manufacture assembly of the flex-plate and ring gear. I was caught out by this combination of differences when I fitted my first Hybrid transmission, where I learned that a T.T. f.p. fitted the wrong way around only allowed around 20 degrees of crank movement, I tore it back out, turned it around and in put it all back again without taking to notice where it was catching on what and wasn't fascinated to see why the N/A plate didn't catch, yet I suspect the N/A t.c. bolts have smaller heads and there's a slightly smaller offset with the T.T f.p. The clue to fitting either of these flex-plates the correct way around is to fit with the ring gear welds on the side that can be seen. Crank fixing holes and front & rear centre plates are same, yet T.T. plate to crank bolts are stronger and marked "11". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonny mac Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 i see, thanks for the tips! reason I need one is I was considering using a 350z gearbox conversion and it requires the stock flex plate to be there for the starter to turn the engine, then has a spacer for the 350z conversion flywheel however I'm still unsure weather to go down the 350 route or buy a v160 (which will be twice as expensive) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
