1 tuff z

to all of those whom are fortunate enuf to have the gleason-torsen units...be thankful. i know a number of racers who also have these units and swear by them. a few years ago, i went thru a friend of mine [35+ years senior engineer at gleason works here in rochester] and we searched for months to try to find a "leftover" unit [even contacted one of his coworkers in japan] with no luck. he then put me in touch with the senior engineer at zexel-torsen [zt/also here in rochester], i struck out there as well. i did speak to the r&d person about a group buy-but it seemed that we'd have to purchase 250+ units and then find a supplier who would b willing to 'guarantee' another 50 in sales per year, to absorb the tool up costs. zt still manufactures the units, gm, subaru, toyota, hummer, etc.-just not for our z cars. this was of course prior to the resurgance in z popularity. i'd b happy to contact them to see if they make a unit for the z32, but i have no idea if the "guts" of a z32 diff would work in the r200 many of us are running. anyone know?? dreaming of finding that elusive torsen diff...

i have been having a problem when the car is cold. once it is started and begins to come up to temp-the gauge continues past 180 and goes to around 210 before settling back to 180. it doesn't do it all the time and usually just when the car is completely cold. i have done the following to troubleshoot; replaced the t-stat [twice], ensured that i don't have air in the system [letting come up to temp-once antifeeze starts to circulate, then top off]. i have also run w/o the t-stat [temp seems to stabilize around 145-150, and don't experience the problem. i don't want to damage the head by seeing this temp spike each time i drive. does anyone run w/o a t-stat? if i do this, any problems? also, i run a 4 row rad, oil cooler and elec. fan, L28, p90 head, jcr supercharger setup. any help/feedback would be greatly appreciated! thanks...
