1980 Datsun 280zx - Gen III (L59) 5.3L LS - 4.8L Flywheel and Clutch Kit - NV1500? Transmission (S10 Manual Transmission) NV3500?
Let me know if you know what transmission I have in the comments 😅
I hope this helped you get an idea of what goes into installing a LS clutch kit!

Damn I never knew how much math was involved when installing a clutch. Good job bro

Did it allow the clutch to release?? Part numbers please

@N4GUZZ Ай бұрын

My question is it how much hp until it blows up? Because I've heard of the nv3500 but i don't know anything about s10 transmission.

I recently put a 4.8 LS in a 98 c1500 that has a NV3500 already. After mating everything up and firing up the motor now I find the clutch will not fully disengage to shift. Your video explains why thank you. Do you have a part number for that shim? And what kind of micrometer is that you used? Thank you for any help

Nice 👌 and glad it helped! I used a caliper to figure out what size spacer I needed. After you get that figured out, check out Summit Racing for RAM clutches hydraulic throwout bearing spacers. I believe my mine was the .5 inch one but I'm not 100% on what transmission I have 😅 so field verify yours 👍

I thought I put the wrong pilot bearing or flywheel bolts in. I'm having the same problem '02 sierra 5.3L w nv3500

I’m looking to do my first engine swap and car restoration on a 80 280zx. I was looking to do a 5.3l vortec as well to save on costs. Do you have any tips for purchasing a drivetrain? Like what would be the most cost affective way?

@likablemichael 2 жыл бұрын

Honestly I don't think this is a very cost effective swap in general just because the lack of aftermarket support for this chassis. That being said, the NV1500 out of an S10 (make sure it has the LS bolt pattern), 4.8l clutch kit, and an iron block 4.8l or 5.3l is probably the most cost effective drive train. I would look for a rebuilt transmission (found mine on ebay but picked it up from a local shop) but it might not hold up if you're planning on clutch kicking and racing from a dig. As far as the engine goes look on offer up, facebook market place, or a local junk yard. Check out a company called Apex Engineering, they have a crossmember for the 280zx to make this swap easier (I wish I would have known about these guys lol). I already have roughly 4 grand in parts and countless hours into this build and I still have a couple thousand to go 😅

Hello my name is julio I have an LS 4.8 and I have a NV 1500 transmission I’m trying to see how I can go about this. Do I basically have to get the same thing that you have to make it work?

@likablemichael Жыл бұрын

The most important part of all this is that the transmission bolt holes align with the LS bolt holes on the block. Some NV1500 and NV3500 are correct, some are not.

@Texassince1836 Жыл бұрын

Thats an NV3500. The NV1500 only came in the "Metric" bellhousing pattern. An LS4 would bolt to an NV1500, but thats the only LS engine that will.

@likablemichael Жыл бұрын

Good to know 👍 I guess it's just a different variation of a NV3500 being it has the shift turret towards the rear of it? The transmission shop I got it from had NV3500 but they all had the shift turret close to the bell housing

If it's a v6 4.3 transmission it's a nv3500, I think the 2.2 4 cylinder came with the 1500

Yup. I don't think the 4 bangers ever came with a 4 wheel drive setup and the NV1500 was only a 2 wheel drive setup.
