i know the tt bellhonsing is thicker where the started bolts up, but what else is different between a z31 and a z31 bellhousing? i searched, but i could find any info on what im asking

Starter location is the only difference on all z32 bellhousings.

I dont have bellhousings here to compare the starter locations. would a Z31 bh bolt up to a vg30de block? If so, could a z31 bh and starter bolt up and operate proper?

They will bolt up just fine. You need to use a z32 starter and a maxima flywheel when using a z32 bell.

Holy crap I did not know this. Very interesting.....

soooo the starter location, is it way off from where the z31 starter would be? how is it different? could i use a z31 bell on a DE? the tt fly is 250mm, and so is the 88t, so i SHOULD be able to use a tt fly and a z31 starter.

TT flywheel is 8-bolt.
Z31 flywheel is 6-bolt.
Huge difference.
The starter on a Z31 sits next to oil pan and has bolts that go thru the bellhousing and the plate to the starter
The starter on a Z32 bolts onto the side of the bellhousing and the bolts are perpindicular from the bellhousing surface.
Google the images. To make a Z32 bell housing and starter work you would have to cut a hole in the floor to make clearance.

exactly what i was looking for. there is no way around it, to swap a vh and keep it manual, you have to use z32 fly, bellhousing, and starter. thanks egg.
nismopu: (2012-12-21 02:51:37)
Wtf? No. 250mm has nothing to do with diameter of the total fly. It only has to do with the surface area of the clutch. Not too mention the often overlooked Nissan pathfinder used a 250mm fly.

i have a 88t fly on my car, when i swap the vh in, im going to use a 250mm tt fly because ill be able to use the dxd i have. i have seen 2 Z31s with the vh swap, but both used a different adapter plate. since im goin a differnt route, i need different answers and info. thank you for the help. i dont have all the parts yet, so im doin what i can to learn it all.
nismopu: (2012-12-21 06:21:02)
ooooooooooooooh You are doing a VH swap. lol! I totally missed that part and makes more sense now.

I find this very hard to believe.

I do too.... :lol:

Did he cut a hole?

The OP said using a Z32 starter on a Z32 bellhousing. Z32 starter is much beefier than Maxima version.
michaelp: (2012-12-28 03:26:18)
The Z32 starter BARELY hits the floor, it'll clear with some hammering

yeeeaaaa budddyyy! the biggest issue with the vh swap is going to be the oil pan.
whats the difference in length between z31 30A bh and a Z32 30A bh?
