Cert queries

[andysshhh]

I'm getting my car ready for cert and just have a few questions.
First one is I have a z32 gearbox to go behind sr20 in an s14. The bellhousing has been modified and has an sr20det bellhousing one welded on. Is this certable or do I have to seek a different option?

Secondly regarding driveshaft hoops on a 2 piece driveshaft. As far as I'm aware I need 2 hoops one within 150mm of each universal?

Cheers Andy

Hi Andy,

A modified bellhousing isn't going to stop you getting a cert.

Two loops correct, but if you have a look at our updated infosheet on loops, you will see that the measurement has been increased from 150mm to 250mm.

So the welding of two bellhousings together is fine?

[Leon]

Correct, this is allowed.

Cool thanks alot mate
One other question
My driveshaft is 2 piece and has the hanger bearing just after the second universal am I still required to put a rear hoop in?
I would upload a photo but not sure if I can

Hi Andy, if it's two part, then two loops are needed.
