The engine mates to a Nissan 350Z (CD009) six-speed manual transmission thanks to a Collins Performance Technologies adapter plate and automatic JZ bellhousing. The transmission uses a Lexus IS300 Fidanza aluminum flywheel, Lexus IS300 pressure plate, and Nissan SR20 clutch disc.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a custom 3.5-inch aluminum driveshaft built by South Bay Driveline to a Nissan 350Z differential, and custom Driveshaft Shop axles.
