Would a CVT even be possible in a z31?
lol.just as the title says... would it be possible to put a cvt in a z31? From what I am looking at, they are more effitient, and faster than manuals, and automatics just plain old suck... but i'm gonna be pushing 800 HP when I'm done with all my upgrades cause i gotta compenate for my small... hands...
 I just wanna know if there are CVT's out there that can handle that kind of power. I'm dying to know opcorn:!

Re: Would a CVT even be possible in a z31?
yes it's possible, no, nobody here has done it before, or will likely do it, inlcuding you. it just takes money and a shitload of custom work. good luck.

maximas are FWD-- I don't think you'd want to convert a z31 to FWD. . . .

Re: Would a CVT even be possible in a z31?
oh the fwd transmission will work just fine... all you have to do is move the engine back to the rear of the car...
