240Z/260Z/280Z auto to 4/5 speed swap
hey Arne...I never delt with pilot bearing so I'm kinda stuck right now. How do I install it. I try to put it in with the alignment tools but it still won't go in. Do I have to put it in before the flywheel? Because that little pilot bearing just won't go in. Also, I used the auto flex plate bolt on the manual flywheel. It seems to bolt on pretty good but I don't know why you say I should use the manual flywheel bolts. I also put the automatic starter on it and atleast it seem to me like it should work but it won't right? This project is alot hard than I thought. I've done a lot of tranny(manual to manual only) and clutch swaps and this is by far the most frustrating one yet. HELP!!!

Power or Suspension First?
I guess all of you guys are leaning toward suspension/brake first so I'll go that down that road first. I also want my car to have the looks too but not show quality, I hate show cars. After all the expensive suspension setup and expensive motor swaps, a show car just sits and never see the light of hairpins...sad:(. Also guys, I bought a set of 15x8 w/ 0" offset...good idea or bad idea? Thaks fellas for the replies!

I thought it was. I wouldn't know...I'm 2 decades old only. These papers don't mean much to me. It just have the old classified add and articles about the US election. Damn... they had a 1967 Chevy Corvette 427 for $2175!!! I wish they cost that much these days. As for the paper...It is from the Rialto and Fontana area. I'm just gonna throw it away, the paper don't mean much to me.

Power or Suspension First?
I want everybodys opinion on something I've been deciding for a week after I got my 73 240Z. I'm really interested because I'm calling this my last project so I'm just curious to know what good to start my project off. I'm barley turn 20 but I've kinda made up my mind that this well be my last since I really want a house in a few years. Still debating L28ET or RB26DETT also when the time comes. I might regret if I go with the L28ET thats why. But the motorswap is not even going to take place because I'm going the suspension route first I think. I wasn't as happy when I went with power on my 510 to when I went suspension on my 240SX first. A car that can go fast in corner is better than a car that can go fast in a straight line(Just me so don't get offended). I am lazy so don't bother calling me lazy. Because I only search for a minute. Did manage to buy to buy some badass wheels though. Can't show the forums yet because it's a secret! This is the first year the wheels are made and wheel be the last. It was just made to test out peoples interest. Oh and its a company that is not popular at all so if you like brands...you definately don't want it anysways. Oh and just bought some Tokico 5way Adjustables. So I am leaning towards suspension at this point. Not even 8 days with the car I'm starting with the project alreay. I know it my car and I can do whatever I want but I just need some of your thoughts. I post this up at hybrid but no one is giving me suggestion.

Guess what I found???
I found some original mud gaurd for the 240Z that was wrapped back in 1972. I found it at a abandon parts store(We pull, you buy kinda part store). How do I know it was wrapped up in 72?...the newspaper's a 72 "The Sun"(Some of you older gen may remember the days when cars were $2500 new. I just thought it was pretty cool to find this after a week of owning my 73 240Z. Yeah... the newspaper is older than my Z.
