   Just got my Aug. GRM....Little blip in there about Rober Akin dying "as a result of injuries sustained..." while testing "... a 1988 Nissan GTP ZX." I didn't know him. In this article, they indicate he spent most of his career racing Porsches, but I was curious if his involvement with Z or ZX's was deeper than they let on. Anybody know of him? steve77

    I have 71 240Z which I stored almost 2 years and very rare used. recently I just changed the clutch, and bearing. After I test it about 30 minuts running stationary I found the oil came out from the clutch housing area. I suspect that it is the oli come from the engine.

It was the fuse housing burning. in the area of tai…
