So you must be using the B13 main shaft, and sliding all the B13 1-4 gears off, then sliding all the 1-4 1.8 gears on, then using the 1.8 input shaft, and finally using the 5th gear input and main shaft from the 2.0 B15 tranny?

OK,
kinda wierd, but here goes: We were counting teeth on the ring gears. Now for obvious reasons you cannot use the 4.18 1.8 ring gears because LSD and nonLSD aren't compatible, but the teeth count between the B13 2.0 and the B15 1.8 were the same. So we figured the b13 2.0 would be fine. Wrong! the teeth are cut different, so it wouldn't work. So we looked at the previously overlooked B15 2.0 ring gear, and the ring gear is the same teeth count as the 1.8, just the shaft teeth count is different. So that looks like it will go in fine and still be 4.18.
Now for the New Stuff:
I am going to be mounting a 250mm clutch. JWT has a clutch designed for the FI Zs that has a 1200kg clamp force. The JWT flywheels are now being double drilled for this size. So I am going to be mounting the RWD SR20DET flywheel with the 250mm 1200kg clutch kit. The t/o bearing needs to be changed, the starter must be the no nose cone starter, and there is some grinding to be done. Oh yeah, and you have to leave some bolt out. But they're doing that anyway in some of the new trannys. So that's basically it. maybe done by tomorrow.
