  1. They're being "marketed" for the 300ZXT's. The fit problems with their use in the Z's is well-known. All kinds of tricks tried, cage-flipping, adjustable control arms, cutting and rewelding, etc. The main reason that people want them is for their increased strength. If you don't have over 200 HP, 250 ft-lbs torque, and big grippy tires, they don't offer much over the plain old u-joint half-shafts.
  2. Post an ad in the Classifieds area, with more pictures and data, and a low price. https://www.classiczcars.com/classifieds/
  3. Microsoft wants my money to view your video. Not ga do it....
  4. It just shows the striking lever/rod being moved around in the rear case. Here's another link. https://imgur.com/a/KuNJPz0
  5. That one picture looks nice. I don't think it's going to be enough for $20,000 though. Do you have more? Do you know the mileage? It's not listed. Also, head gaskets aren't rebuilt so that part doesn't make sense. Good luck. Supply lots more info and you'll get more responses.
  6. @zKars apparently has a big collection of parts.
  7. @Dave WM and @EuroDat and others have rebuilt their transmissions. Might have some ideas. Here's a good site for browsing parts. Better exploded diagrams than the FSM. http://www.carpartsmanual.com/datsun/Z-1969-1978/power-train
  8. It's odd that it gets stuck in reverse. Sounds the shifting rod is binding. There's no bushing that needs "pushing" in with tools. There are are two plastic bushings, one on the end of the shifter and one (two piece) bushing at the shifter's pivot point. Take a picture of your shifter and the bushings, we'll see how worn they are.
  9. Did you try it with the front case off? Just the forks and shifting rods? Separate the potential causes.
  10. A used one would be fine. Any idea on how the plate broke? @borini63 sells parts, he might have something. Shipping should be cheap.
  11. from where?
  12. Here are some flanges. Not sure he has stock though, he makes them in batches. http://www.chequeredflagracing.net/Datsun.html
  13. Oops. not the right part. You need the flange, not the axle. The u-joint axles are plenty strong.
  14. Here is a bolt on for Porsche 930 style CV axles https://zcardepot.com/collections/rear-axle-and-differential/products/billet-aluminum-cv-axle-adaptor-930-240z-260z-280z
  15. Here Here's a weld-on conversion for the 300ZX CV axles. https://zcardepot.com/products/cv-axle-conversion-kit-r200-240z-260z-280z
  16. I've only seen weld-on CV conversions that were any good. And that's for bolting them to the wheel-side axle. R200's are all clip-in on the diff side. The clip is either on the axle or in the diff, but they work the same way. No offense but you're asking questions that can't be answered because that's not how the R200 works. Did you look in the hole yet, for the clips? Your diffs are probably essentially identical. You can also pop the axles out of the one diff and try them in the other. Use a chisel or big screwdriver to pop them out.
  17. You're right, I screwed that up. I even spent some time looking around to make sure it was right and it still wasn't. I think I had CV axles and viscous and short nose all blended together in my head.
  18. Ouch. You can move the crankshaft by putting the car in high gear and rolling it. Future reference...
  19. You might be getting cam timing confused with ignition timing. It's a common misconception. You groove and notch have nothing to do with ignition timing. You should confirm that the ignition timing mark is at zero when the #1 piston is at TDC of the compression stroke. That's the starting point for ignition timing. Not uncommon for the marks on the damper to be in the wrong place. Could be a bad damper.
  20. The aluminum bars are thicker than the steel Nissan bars. You probably just need new longer studs to do it "right". Here is Arizona Z Cars bar. http://www.arizonazcar.com/diffmount.html
  21. what year is your car? The more details the better, In general.
  22. Pictures would still be good. The washers in the picture I posted look flat. Is there a gap between the mustache bar and the diff when the front diff mount is bolted up? It would be goofy to keep making the bars if they're not right, then add washers to shim it. Maybe you got a mistake. You can remove the studs and get longer ones. I hate to say it again, but Whitehead's explanation is goofy. He could have made the bar to fit properly, "stress-free". Not sure what he's doing with his special washers. Includes WHP exclusive diff mounting washers to properly mount diff with no stress or tension on the Mustache Bar unlike other designs. Billet 6061 Aluminum – excellent strength Uses standard Urethane Mustache Bar Bushings in choice of black or red bushings WHP Mustache Bar comes pre-assembled with all hardware included (diff mounting nuts excepted) All hardware is either plated or stainless steel Includes WHP diff mounting washers Easily Installed and Removed Bolt-On solution for mounting an R200 diff Includes WHP diff mounting washers
  23. There are two types of hole and two types of washer and two types of stud. Need details. https://whiteheadperformance.com/product/whp-billet-aluminum-r200-mustache-bar-datsun-240z-260z-280z/
  24. Nissan went to the short nose R200 in 1985, when they went to the rounder 300ZX body shape. And the DAT-110-300ZX pattern shown in the picture was also used for one 280Z year, in the 1975 280Z. The fact that the axle shafts are gone could be for several reasons. Somebody could have taken them to use in a diff that came with CV half shafts. Look down the axle holes and see if the retainer circlips are inside. If they are it might be a 75 diff. If they aren't it's probably an 85 or beyond. They'll both work in your car but the one with the axle shafts is probably easiest to get in there. I don't think the ring set alone is really worth much, except as garage art.

    Megasquirt and Haltech are popular. You're kind of starting at the end. Pick your engine management system and fit the parts to it.
