    Nismo Fork Pivot

    Anyone seen one of these before? It says it's for the RB20/VG20ET. Couldn't find any info on the RB, but according to Xenon the VG20ET came with a 71C. Any idea if this would work in our 71C? Has anyone tried it?

    The one from zspeedperformance also works.the one that is available with the heavy duty clutch fork.

    Doesn't work with the 71c, 30a only.

    Doing a quick Google of the Nismo part number from the add, 30537-RS540, it is the same part number for the s13/s14/r31 etc, all 71c transmissions I believe, so it should work. It also lists the length at 41mm, which should be easy to check and match with a stock pivot ball.

    Also found the Nismo 30a tranmission pivot ball part number to be 30537-RS581, it lists r32/r33/r34/z32 as compatible vehicles.

    You're the first person I've seen say it works. Everyone else I've seen who tried it had problems.

    I'm not at a point of needing one yet anyway. I was just posting it in case someone else did since I didn't know NISMO made one.

    The reason being is that the fork upgrade needs a shorter pivot ball to work. It seems that Nissan used a shorter pivot ball for the 71c transmissions and 2004+ 350z. A longer one was used for the 30a and 2003 350z transmissions.

    Pic I found:



    This pdf about the Nismo pivot balls shows the short to be 41mm long vs the long ones 54mm:
