Hey guys just trying to weigh up some options here. I've come to the conclusion that once the new motor goes in that my stock gearbox will last all of about 30 seconds!
Option 1, drop it off to Mike at MV Autos (or he can pick it up as he lives 9 houses up the road from me!)
Option 2, R154 - enough said
Option 3, now this is where advice is needed. Anyone know what box the 7MGTE powered A70/Z20 runs? I've heard rumours that it may be the A340, anyone confirm this? The mate helping me with my engine build has a full MV built version (he just can't remember what it is! Bought the car 3 years ago, took it to MV, 4 days later put a manual in and the box has been in storage ever since!).
Basically its mine if I wire up his Microtech ecu, so if it will fit, this is looking a viable option as my engine build has gone from $2k to about $6k! If it won't work I guess the credit card just gets some more abuse lol

the jza70 runs an a341 or a342(whatever the V8 doesn't have) it is much weaker than the jzz30 soarer A340, even though it looks virtually the same.There is a drag jza70 here in NZ that has gone through(with absolutely no lie) at least 10 of these boxes.However, if mike has strengthened it, you should be fine. I have no experience with the Z20 boxes though.
