I like that lift...
replacing the mother board inn the original leaf inverter shouldnt effect approval, but the resolve controller is nice at a plug and play.My plan is to go for the original inverter for a start. then it can be approved by authorities.
Do you sell the leaf couplers?
when it is up an running, I need to get more power.replacing the mother board inn the original leaf inverter shouldnt effect approval, but the resolve controller is nice at a plug and play.
there’s the newer gen3/4/5 leaf inverters will directly swap onto the em57 motor which is nice as they are 110kw and 160kw.
the can bus messages are (mostly) the same, so they should work with the resolve controller.
nice options for the future if you want more power 😎
yup I have couplers available and soon adapter plates
Are you planning to mount the motor in front (where the engine was), driving the rear axle via a shaft like the original? Have you considered mounting the motor with the Leaf transaxle at the rear axle, since you're converting to independent suspension anyway?I have not found out the gearbox I will use.
a short model Nissan box is perfect for my car
My plan is to mount the engine were it was an put in a normal gearbox without clutch.Are you planning to mount the motor in front (where the engine was), driving the rear axle via a shaft like the original?

I’ll pm you about the coupler.How much do you want for it.

That works, but I'm confused what you meant by this:My plan is to mount the engine were it was an put in a normal gearbox without clutch.
my rear end is not converted into independent it is just original but with airbag instead of leaf springs.
A Silvia S13 or S14 has an independent rear suspension, but apparently you're not using that. What part of the undercarriage from the Silvia are you using?I have picked up an old Nissan Sunny Truck in Dubai which I am in the process of renovating with a complete undercarriage from the Nissan silvia S13-S14.
the t5 is great in that it’s light and universal.I have looked at som different gearbox an maybe found a box that is well known in most places in the world.
The Borg Wagner T5
I have the complete front from a Silvia s13-s14 and my rear end is original Nissan sunny ute.the t5 is great in that it’s light and universal.
I was just given a old FS5W71-B Nissan transmission, which I pulled the bell housing off so I can easily get it measured in the metrology lab I have access to.
the bolt pattern is(mostly) the same (minus the starter location) across many years of Nissan/Datsun vehicles from my understanding.
Though I do know the SR series is a different bolt pattern
some info on the 71 series transmissionsTech Wiki - 71-Series Transmission : Datsun 1200 Club
Thanks - that makes more sense than "complete Silvia undercarriage".I have the complete front from a Silvia s13-s14 and my rear end is original Nissan sunny ute.
I’ll do a rough trace of the 71-b transmission I have and post The drawing. If you do the same with yours, we can see if the bolt pattern is the same. If they are the same, then maybe I’ll go ahead and acutely measure it with the CMM machine.I think the T50 is a good choice in size an I love to keep it in same family Nissan.
the one box I have found is from a 300zx 1986
Nice i can make a drawing of the box end I this week.I’ll do a rough trace of the 71-b transmission I have and post The drawing. If you do the same with yours, we can see if the bolt pattern is the same. If they are the same, then maybe I’ll go ahead and acutely measure it with the CMM machine.
Hi.I have a rough bolt pattern of the 71b Nissan transmission. Here’s a photo of the assembly. One 5mm plate for the transmission, and the thicker (95mm) one is the universal leaf adapter plate. they bolt together via the 4bolt NEMA B-face bolt pattern.
So far it looks like there’s no colliding bolt holes!
diyelectriccar wont let me attach the .dxf and .iges files of the rough adapter plate, so ill just email them to you
