Sorry Will, I got the instructions, and the box; but the "part" seems lost in transit. I don't know if he has to put it in thread, though I suspect he does have to put it on the Home page.

Ummm...I think they may have changed their name to Balanced Performance Motorsports. Website URL is

http://www.balancedperformance.com/index.shtml

I think it's related to Sunbelt because Mapquest shows a similar address, so it's probably the same people.

No, they haven't changed their name. Sunbelt is still there at the same location. I just got this info by email from Keith Thomas, well known as the brain behind Chet Whittel's ITS National Championships in a Z car a few years ago.

"They're still there. 770) 932-0160. I'm afraid they are way too busy

building Spec Miata and World Challenge BMW engines to bother with the

website."

Keith Thomas

**Wayne Burstein also provided the same information.

Poll? What poll?

Here is the "vented rotor" Dave is talking about. I call it a "vented hat" rotor. The hub is slotted. Remember, the backing plate for this brake is ducted?

Thanks for the pic, Chris. Yeah, I'd call it a vented hat rotor also. Otherwise, much confusion could result since it's not a true "vented rotor" in the common sense of the term.

IMO, it makes sense that Nissan went away from that design. It doesn't appear to be very beefy.

Early 70 Z's had vented rotors? really? never heard about that before.

Some of the parts in early Z cars were unique. 26th-Z can be much more specific than I. Also, yes there is such a thing as a hatch glass without defroster wires.(it's one of those unique items)

Why do you blokes like chopped liver????

It's just another expression used here but I believe that I speak for many of us in saying that we don't!

Stephen is right, we don't. That is the point of the expression. It's like saying "What am I, something that you don't like?"

Let us know how it goes when you give the car a good run through the hills.

Had already seen the Indy web site, but there isn't a forum or links to mechanics or body shops.

Thanks for the heads up on Jeff, I'll shoot him an e-mail

His email address and phone number were listed on the Indy Z club site.

She realised that the U.F.O. was closer to her face than her outstretched, pointed finger.

Her U.F.O. was, in fact, a BLOODY FIRE FLY !!!!!!!!!!

TRUE STORY. :stupid: :stupid:

Rick.

:nervous:

OK, when do we get a chance to hear a story about you from Barb's perspective? If there's a story to top this one, my bet is that only Barb could tell it!

wink,wink.

one of our members, "indyzprez" (Jeff Caldwell) might be able to help you. You can check the member list and send him an email

Mine are body paint colored. That's not to say that they may or may not be cad plated under the paint, but mine are metallic blue, like the rest of the body.

Zeiss150, you were on the mark. There are several collar sizes for the thrust bearing. Mine was too short and hence it was not contacting the fingers. Got a new one and fixed the problem but still no clutch.

So what am I? Chopped liver?

Post #2 to this thread

IMO it sounds like the "thrust bearing" isn't contacting the fingers on the pressure plate, or that the pressure plate isn't operating properly. Unfortunately I doubt there is anything that can done to resolve the issue without pulling the transmission out.

Did you swap transmissions (4 speed to a 5 speed, or use any different parts like a different lever or thrust bearing collar) besides the bearing, pressure plate, clutch disc?

I don't really like the phrase "quick-release" when related to your steering wheel, tho.

Why?

"Quick Release" doesn't equate to "Random-Release". F1, Champcar, IRL, NAPCAR and a lot of other racer cars used quick-release Steering wheel hubs and don't have problems with them.

Kats:

Thanks for the links and hosting the video's on your web site.

Bambikiller:

Later on I can _briefly_ host that vid if you like. Comcast just upped their caps.

If you do that, please let me know so I can D/L the 2nd video. Thanks

huh? what you mean?

The boneheads at Chevy didn't realize when they named the car that "No va" means "does not go" in Spanish.

They virtually killed any chance of the car being successful with spanish speaking people or in spanish speaking countries, like Mexico. Who's gonna buy a car with a name that announces that it doesn't go.

I find it funny that you have a Datsun that "No va" and you are trying to sell it to buy the original No va.

The same thing happened to me, Carl. I right clicked and saved to file on my computer.

That is what I've been trying to do also. All day today the D/L has been crapping out at anywhere from 3.8MB to 9.76MB

Quite Annoying!

good sign if selling, not good if buying.i prefer being the rodney dangefield of classic cars.less interest- cheaper cars and parts, nes pas?

I agree, Patrick.

I've been trying to download the second video for DAYS. The D/L always crashes before I get the full 16.1 Meg. Tryed again today and it crashed after 10.7 Mb. Grrrrr!

Aw come on Will, don't be shy, tell us what you really think!

...I think that word needs to be in the list of the words that the shout box won't take with out manipulation.

Will

Ah Yes, censorship. The answer to everything. :stupid:

Reserve NOT met........

Situation normal :cross-eye

Say it Carl, FACTORY, say it. I double dog dare ya. It's probably a Factory Z. :tapemouth

Vicky

"Ummm, I'm gonna tell." :hurt:

"Mommy, Vicky said a dirty word! She said FACTORY,......I heard her say it!!"

Out here they do carry at least 6 of the BP6ES plugs (I haven't had a problem getting a full set, yet).

There was a guy on eBay about 9 months ago who was selling the NGK Plug/Coil wires set with a "Buy It Now" price of $25. IIRC, the shipping charge was quite reasonable also (something like $4). He seemed to have many of them.
