I just installed 5.5" 10000 RPM clutch. Stiff as hell. I'm using stock Nissan throwout bearing. Should I be using or doing something different?

(from the past)Tony Fall's rally 240Z

Whether converting rally entry fees into prizes or saloon car fans to sports car travel the Datsun 240Z has a large following all over the world which is likely to grow here once it starts being imported in quantity later this year. Among its rally successes are outright wins on the Safari and the Welsh, plus a fantastic fifth overall en the Monte Carlo Rally. * In view of the interest these have aroused, we asked Tony Fall if we could borrow his rally car for a few days. This was arranged by courtesy of Old Woking Service Station, who have prepared and maintained the car since it arrived here. This particular car has quite a history as 240Zs go, for it was first of all …

Is there any design information for a bracket to mount a timer for rally driving? where/how would it mount? I could probably think of a few other things that would be nice to have handy- not cupholders. It's a 280Z. thx

I have a new avatar. I think its cool, therefore, I am convinced that everyone else should think the same thing. Besides, this forum has been too quiet lately and we need a conversation piece. This was taken at the Hallett Motor Racing Circuit outside Tulsa, OK at mid-summer of our 2004 championship season. The tightest turn on the course is known as Dead Horse Turn, where, on an unrelated note, a horse's skeleton was dug up some 25 years ago during construction of the track. There's no good line through this corner... you can only hope that your groove is not quite as bad as the other guy's. Whoever is the least bad wins. Don'tcha love those corners? You stomp the gas c…

Diff Ratio Choices

I have a '71 240Z that I use for High Speed AX at the track, and for lapping days, along with street driving. It has the stock engine at the moment. In the near future, I will be installing a 5spd from a '78. I have been looking into diff choices. Was thinking of using a 4.11 out of a '84-85 Nissan 4x4. I might have a shot at an R190 with a 4.44 ratio. My question is, how much difference would there be between a 4.11 and a 4.44?? Also, what would the differences be? TIA, Marty

Tire Stagger for a Road Course

April 30, 2005 by sopwith21

We tried something last week that worked pretty well and I wanted to see if any of you guys had ever tried the same thing... we staggered our tires and strut settings for right hand turns. 9 of the 11 turns on the course were right handers, so we measured the tires and found 1.75" of available stagger. Since the diff on my car is welded, I figured we could use it. So we put the largest tire on the LR, next largest on the RR, next largest on the LF, and smallest on the RF. Then, in a series of practice sessions, we tested different strut settings (I've got Tokico 5-way adjustables on all corners). We started with the front and found that a pretty stiff setting (4) was just…
