That's true. I wonder how the gear ratios would work out for a road course car?

Wow, indeed if anything standalone was to take a Z another step into the modern car world, it would be a DCT.

Looking forward to seeing how this progresses.

Flywheels are done! Once those arrive here, I will begin fitting this to the engine in my car, and we shall see exactly how tunnel fitment is, and start making the trans mount.

Will be an epic day when finished

Photos all removed due to a copy-cat project having already emerged. I will have to wait until its all available for ordering to share any more photo updates. Got like 200 hours into that project! Not trying to help anyone else.

Im not sure if they are a member or not. So far I have only seen that there is an individual who has bought the transmission to start the project. There has to be a shop involved to make it happen, so I am sure we will eventually find out.

They are using a slightly different bell-housing version of the same transmission. There is one local to me that I almost bought for this project, but thought it would be silly to make multiple versions of such an obscure product. <sigh> I am going to go ahead and pick it up so that I can have the alternate design already finished and remain ahead of any tag-alongs.

I haven't said chit.....

In other news, I got photos of the flywheels... and they are beautiful

So I might at least have a photo of it all up in the car real soon now.

absolutely! I am almost over it now. I know it isn't being done with ill intent. Its just frustrating to spend so much time on something like this where it really just isn't any necessary to have competitive options. If someone else was already making it, I would have never bothered.

I will also add that it is my own fault, shooting myself in the foot, for even showing it off before completion. The person who is beginning on the project now saw it on my FB, asked me several technical questions about it. They already had a different trans conversion ready to install, and are now selling it after learning of this transmission and buying one. So lesson learned, no matter how obscure, I cannot show others what I am working on until its all ready for sale.
