Guest BradD Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Thanks guys Does anyone know what driveshaft setup I need? I heard I need the front from the soarer and rear part from a supra. N/A or TT?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOGIE Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 member called straightsix is your man for answers he built his a few years ago, Can a supra autobox be used instead of a soarer one? just curious as I was going to try this years ago but hate myself for never actually doing it.

dr_jekyll Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 the supra bok should bolt up to the soarer bell housing iirc . then you can use that . i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOGIE Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 What about one of David P's hybrid boxes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BradD Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I want to keep the costs down to a minimum so will stick to stock box as much as I can. I'm not sure if the box is perfect but I'll see. Never tested it when I bought the soarer but only worry was because the gearbox oil was pretty dark and there are lots of tiny particles of metal found on the filter. If you rub your finger over you can see the miniscule pieces of what I could only think is worn gear metal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOGIE Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Get your hands on a R154 gearbox. Much stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Raven Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Those miniscule metal particles would be in line with gearbox oil which has never been changed, Im sure it will be fine with new fluid....even without The V8 is excellent as a daily, smooth, decent mpg and when the road does open up.....very fun.

Was hoping it was something smaller like that rather the need for a complete replacement. And yes I'm sure it'll be fantastic, really looking forward to completing this and getting it on the road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fly Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Looks like the v8 conversion is becoming popular. Might even try and build a tt version on a stand to replace the na-t down the line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
