How is Jim? He hasn't been on the site in 3 years... Incredible collection!!

Never mind I got

What about your car makes you think it would be a problem?

Auction estimate $100,000 - $125,000 That would be really good ROI !!

So I went to Cody's today and got some more pictures: I'm going to do all the math here at the top to keep it all together Fingers to the surface - 1.744" (44.3mm) Complete stack OA with old bearing - 3.305" (83.95mm) complete OA less ear offset - 0.415" (10.54mm) New bearing is 1.692" thick versus (42.98mm) The old bearing was 1.701" thick but probably lost a ten due to the bearing being backwards So that looks like 44.3 mm + 42.98 mm - 10.54 mm = 76.74 mm to the ears

I will reverse the bearing. It's bad anyway and noisey. I wondered if it was oriented correctly. I will make some better pictures

Zed, Im not sure I have the old parts. That's one problem. I thought I should verify the stack up height before we finished assemblyof the engine. Which is pretty far off. I believe the transmission is a 79 280zx 5 speed. I think we reused the collar that was in it, but not positive. Cody might remember. Im not sure how well it shifted before we rebuilt it. I know reverse was an issue but the idler gear was rough. So maybe it wasn't fully disengaging? I ordered the exedy to compare to the Luk. But even so, I don't know where I would expect to find 18mm?

That door panel is pretty rough!!

I love fresh paint!!

It might have taken me a while to come to that conclusion!

Almost 40 years! I feel better now 😉

Yes, that would be great!! That's what I'm working towards...

I wish I could have been there in person

So I have a new issue with Cody's car My clutch stack up is only 74mm with the current collar to the ears I believe this is the measurement from the fingers to the flywheel. So about 44mm Luk brand clutch kit Now the throw out bearing fits down in to the clutch fingers some. So maybe it is installed backwards?? I thought I might have a smaller TOB collar but at this point I'm not sure. Even if I have the smaller one, the difference over the 4 types looks to only be 10mm. That's not going to get me to 92mm??

Come on, roll the dice!!!

By the way if you ever need help shipping stuff to Switzerland, pm me. If I can help, I will C

What is your system for figuring out where it all goes? I really struggle with that.

The R200 is a tougher unit. I might have an open 3.9 in the shop and if by some chance you came across an LSD R200 you would already be set up for it. I do not have the other parts you would need. Terrapin might have those

"Open" as in not Limited Slip. Only one wheel will spin

They worked for me. The dash looks good! How do you like it?

Sorry to hear that!

I replied in your ad, but why an R180 over an R200?

Got to imagine there are all kinds of nasty surprises on a car like that!

That's a god looking car. Aught to make a good foundation

Those were nice pistons 😞
