ollie Posted April 27, 2019 Share #350 Posted April 27, 2019 Wow great work, duff! I have a new to me 5 speed close ratio 5 speed rebuilt by Whitehead which is great with the 3.70 clsd but I have felt in occasion steeper gears would be work. Yours is going to be super fun. Enjoy!

duffymahoney Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share #353 Posted April 30, 2019 TFC in Oregon, they do Z theraphy's stuff, and I was impressed, so I switched, this is the 3rd zinc shop I have used, they are my favorite. But prep is key. This batch is a little more blue/ purple then I would like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to a shop an hour away from me in Asheville and the two guys I needed to speak too weren't there. I emailed one of them and he didn't respond. So I am operating on the premise that they are not interested in helping me. I would prefer to send money to people who are interested in helping me...Anyone in particular to talk too?

duffymahoney Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share #355 Posted April 30, 2019 I would use local, try and stop by the shop. I bet you can figure it out. If zinc is intact and oxidized or whatever, then i don't do anything. Rust has to be removed, paint has to be removed, some places can acid bath before, so not much prep is needed at all.

duffymahoney Posted April 30, 2019 Author Share #356 Posted April 30, 2019 Osgiken single disk clutch is in from japan. I took a stab in the dark with it. Zgarage had me be a guinea pig. Flywheel and overall weight is pretty great! Very very well made. Comes with everything needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really any place local and most commercial platers don't want to mess with it. If I'm going to have to ship it, then it doesn't really matter how far I ship.

duffymahoney Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share #358 Posted May 1, 2019 Nice. TFC has been great. I am making my starter pretty (vapor) Plus my r180 cover. Starter will get a nos solenoid, then some zinc and some black paint. I can’t get the side screws out so they will get painted. Should look nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duffymahoney Posted May 1, 2019 Author Share #359 Posted May 1, 2019 Hopefully shimming the r180 and getting it installed this weekend. Looks pretty amazing. I ended up getting new side bearing holders. They were 18$ from Subaru with seals. Which seemed too cheap not to replace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duffymahoney Posted May 2, 2019 Author Share #360 Posted May 2, 2019 I screwed something up in the trans rebuild, it becomes tight with the front cover on, plus I guess I love spending money, so I decided on the KA swap for my 240z. This is a longer tail shaft on the trans, so it should fit in my series 1 better (no cutting), plus the 1st is better gear ratio and 2nd is slightly better. I found a 1989 240sx trans, with 576 miles on it. It's been in storage inside since 12/01/89! Zinc is still in tact. Paid too much for it, but hopefully it's good. The shop tested all the gears and syncros. Troy Emerish Racing will do the bell housing mod. He is just about as cheap as my local machine shop, plus has done a ton of them.
