Built transmission: t56 swap into 370z :FINALLY!

xsamis · 07-21-2026, 05:31 PM

I posted this on the 370z facebook group but just incase people still come to the forums:

After 2 years of waiting, im finally done with the chase: t56 swap into 370z motor.
Backstory: i contacted
Kyle Quiterio and he put me in contact with
Andre Cargill. Andre has made this kit for kyles 350z as a prototype and its the first kit for the 370z that i know of. Ive searched for this plate EVERYWHERE and its simply not available.
Lets talk about how it works: the transmission that im putting in the car is a t56 magnum XL built by liberty gears. Its a Face plated 1-4 gesr (dog box) and synchro 5/6, fully shot peened treated all the sauce. I paid about 8300$ for the trans. The adapter plate was about 4k, The clutch kit that is used is the OS giken tripple disk, thats about $2,300, the floating plate can be ordered for about $250 and changed where it will fit a T56 spline which is exactly what this needs.
The kit is a plate that gets put on the auto bell housing that lets the T56 insert into and you bolt that up. The magnum XL is used for the extra length so the shifter sits closer to the shifter hole in the trans tunnel. I need to now install it fully and measure for the drive shaft that andre is going to make for me. I would like to thank everybody involved in this process and share something that i think is important:
I have a GTR and I could of spend 14k on a built gtr trans and built the motor myself and had a 1400 wheel gtr no problem. I didnt choose that route because im in love with the 370z. I think the 370z is one of the best cars ever made, and its the funnest car i have owned (multiple people have driven my car and fell in love with it also). I will not give up on this platform and have spent over 100k to get it to work. I never quit, and this is only the beginning. People might ask me “why wouldn’t you use the cd009 or jk41?”. They both will break at the TQ levels that im looking to make. Also i was in contact with a guy who had the first set of carbon lined synchro’s (not the nisperformance set, a totally different development set for racing) and he stated that the casing the cd009 and jk41 will flex at that level and break stuff. They were welding supports to the case to make it not break and flex. This is the only solution for a car that has over 800tq 1200whp long term. Im looking to break the 60-130 and 100-150 record with this car as well as the HP record on a 370z block. This should shake up the scene a bit.
Thank you for everyone who has helped me along the way and my tuner Moncef Faik for always sending the spicy tunes.
Look forward to posting the 60-130 times
