  1. I understand. I have a new part on the way. Let me lay my hands on that first
  2. I get this error
  3. He makes a beautiful exhaust!!!
  4. I think I would start with clean fuel
  5. Maybe put the map in a members only area or something? So the web crawlers can't access it...

    I would have liked to have made Toronto. If I ever get the car finished I will try to make it to some of these events that are out of our region so I can meet some members in person that wouldn't otherwise happen
  7. So I guess the member map is gone??
  8. I have bought a 240mm clutch kit. I'm not sure of the difference in the collars.
  9. Current collar: 1.506" ( 38.25 mm) OA height 1.091" ( 27.7 mm) from the top to the milled flat So smaller than all 4 in post #130 If I went to the ZX collar I would theoretically gain 15mm. Making my stack up about 92mm. Does anybody have one? @Terrapin Z?
  10. Started messing with this tonight. It takes a second to get oriented on how the header piece needs to be to clip the wind lace over it. Once I get this clipped in and like it I will trim it back some. Then I'm gonna glue the foam to the metal. Then glue the header piece to the front flange...
  11. I get the same error when trying to view my own profile @Mike
  12. That LSD would be sorely missed and hard to replace! That car is such a mess!!!
  13. No Vin number and pretty rusty!! I'd have to be really motivated for that one!

    Never mind I got
  16. What about your car makes you think it would be a problem?
  17. Auction estimate $100,000 - $125,000 That would be really good ROI !!
  18. 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
  19. I will reverse the bearing. It's bad anyway and noisey. I wondered if it was oriented correctly. I will make some better pictures
  20. 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?
  21. That door panel is pretty rough!!
  22. I love fresh paint!!
  23. It might have taken me a while to come to that conclusion!
  24. Almost 40 years! I feel better now 😉
  25. Yes, that would be great!! That's what I'm working towards...
