Hi all,
My build is coming along (current status) in the photo below. It is a 2014 Leaf into a 1975 BMW. At the moment it thankfully still works after a few near misses.
Also see: BMW 2002e - my conversion of a BMW2002 using a Leaf...
I would like to see if anyone has an elegant solution for the "park actuator" as described on @Tremelune's post:

See photo below of the actuator still in the gearbox casing.
I would love to be able to fool the actuator in some way to keep the donor car working but without the messy gearbox park assembly. Currently, when I move from Park the shaft rotates and disengages. From what I understand this is normal behaviour. Previously there was a mechanism to stop the gearbox rotating when it was in Park. This was removed with the other half of the gearbox.
Does anyone have success with fooling this system?
(p.s. the part number is: 33251 3NF0A by Denso).

Current state of Leafs as donors?
Is there a good resource somewhere that will help explain the behavior of motors when they're "under-volted"? The Leaf motor/battery are overpowered for my needs by probably 2x. With this combo, I'm more concerned with top motor speed than I am about torque/range. There's probably something good...
