I also forgot to mentioned, the car hesitate/sputter when taking off on first gear. I have to rev up a little. It will go but act as if not getting the gas, I held the clutch halfway and rev it up and go.

I know, but with what I went through with this car, I cannot deal with mount and othe combination. Honestly, I really got a good strap and I am happy with it. I had gotten an aftermarket strap from MSA and I did not like it. I had it returned and decided to use the factory one. It is amazing that in 2012 we are more advanced and no one can't duplicate a strap like the OE.

Hello All, I know this may have been covered but I need step by step help that I may follow: As you guys know I am running Mukunis tripple. L24 engine, msa 2.5 exhaust. I hate the fact that everytime I turn the key, it take two, three times to start. I would not have a problem with it if it just when first cold start but even if I get to the store and jump right back in the car it does it. It is embarrassing when everyone looking at the car and when you go starting it, it takes two three or four tries. We checked the timing and adjust and got same result. so it is back to where it was at first. I need help from all Mikunis guys or prior knowledge with this issue. Once in a while it will start on first try even cold but the majority is a lot of try and it is embarrassing for such a beautiful car. Helpppp Helpppp. Next job is to adjust the valves as you can hear. http://s347.photobucket.com/albums/p450/chachacourt1/?action=view&current=020.mp4 http://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p450/chachacourt1/021.jpg

We got everything back to where it should be. the mustache bar was backward, diff mount backward and a longer driveshaft. This is why my guy could not get the strap on the diff the proper way. After taking the car out of the shop, a friend of mine who has a 78 Z was able to work with me and worked things out. we changed bushings, placed the mustache, mount the correct way, we noticed the drive shaft was about 1 1/2 inch longer. We took it to a shop and had it cut and balanced. Ohhh, I found a nice used diff strap from zcarparts "Eric " Nice drivetrain thanks for all the help.

Hey Guys, Happy More Z Years to all!!!!!!! . Well its been a long time since we talked. You guys are the best. You guys were right but remember I told you my mechanic guy is very self centered and a know it all. He does not take critics well and no one can tell him he does something wrong. First of all the car is home where it belong since early November 2011. I recently drove it to a friends home close to my home and he did a complete check to see if everything are placed correctly. As he mentioned two years ago to my mechanic, you guys mentioned it in July because we were having issue placing the strap. THE Mustache is on backward and the the diff mount backward. He had welded a piece of metal near one side of the bracket to place the strap but the strap is still on top of the diff four bolts. The car will be on jacks tomorrow and my friend and I will reverse what was done. Just wanted to let you guys know. Thanks. I have another issue though but will see you @ engine with tripple Mikunis thread.

the mustache bar is on. We had to take the shaft off and the tranny. prior to that the strap was off . upon returning the tranny; i insist that the strap should be on and now the strap is hard to stretch past the two bolt and sit at the neck of the diff.

You maybe right!!! The problem that I am having is that my mechanic guy can't be told that something is mounted wrong. I know I am asking a lot but can someone with a 240z r180 innstalled send pics of diff/mustach,strap

Hey Guys, I just can't get a break. There must be a zombie in this garage that does not want this car to see the street. I will not give up. Last week we decided to put some gas in the tank and fired it up and back it out of the garage. The gear went in but when I lifted the clutch, the car failed to move. It is the fork/pin in the tranny that failed to engage. Also there was no oil in the tranny. I wanted to hurt my mechanic so bad. We spent about four days taking the trannny out. Last night finally got the tranny back in place. Mech had forgotten to install the strap that goes over the diff before but reminded him that it must be install. We had some problem because the strap is on top of the two screws that are on top of the differential and the shaft. Why I am having problem getting it to sit on top of the diff behind those screws or the nech of the diff. I need it to go back approx 2 1/5 inch back but very hard and only sits on top of the two screws. I know that I am very wordy right now but its just frustration. My mech insist to leave the strap off and say that it wont hurt anything but I am a man that believe in if someone made it then it is for a reason and will not drive the car without it so help me out to see why it does not fit properly or if anyone ran into this problem.

Thanks guys. I ran into a little prob with the tranny a week ago and the strap that goes over the diff. will post a thread on it now but just wanted to say that I was kind of down about it. From reading the post from Nativ and Madkaw; I just got my spirit lifted back up. You guys are the greatest. Go check me out Tranny and the strap.

Tks my Brother, I am thinking that I could of went 16x8.5 in the back with 230 50 16 wheels but I think i will be enjoying these for now.

These are photos of the car with the Rota wheels. Finally off the jax. Sorry, i am still giving you guys photos inside the garage. More photos will soon come when it is outside and sunlight when muffler system is in place. I just ordered the MSA turbo muffler kit last night. <a href="http://s347.photobucket.com/albums/p450/chachacourt1/tires%20mounted/?action=view&current=11111.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p450/chachacourt1/tires%20mounted/11111.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s347.photobucket.com/albums/p450/chachacourt1/tires%20mounted/?action=view&current=11112.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p450/chachacourt1/tires%20mounted/11112.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s347.photobucket.com/albums/p450/chachacourt1/tires%20mounted/?action=view&current=11113.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p450/chachacourt1/tires%20mounted/11113.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s347.photobucket.com/albums/p450/chachacourt1/tires%20mounted/?action=view&current=11114.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p450/chachacourt1/tires%20mounted/11114.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s347.photobucket.com/albums/p450/chachacourt1/tires%20mounted/?action=view&current=11115.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p450/chachacourt1/tires%20mounted/11115.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s347.photobucket.com/albums/p450/chachacourt1/tires%20mounted/?action=view&current=11116.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p450/chachacourt1/tires%20mounted/11116.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

Bueller!!!! Bueller!!! Bueller!!!! any luck yet on the seal? I guess I will be ordering it from Black Dragon if no luck on wher to get the right one.

Madkaw, I did get expensive brakes. I have the wildwood brake upgrade that I purchased from that Arizona guy very, expensive. By the way I am using the spacers in front and had to changed the studs to longer ones to compensate. I spent half a day today removing paints from the calipers. I made a big mistake taking them to this place call prime tech coating. 225s looks good so far in the rear. Even though on jacks, looks tough. The guys who mounted and balanced the tires were screaming at the tires, saying "those tires looks !!!mean!!!!." I cannot tell how they will look once off the jacks. I will take photos with a real camera when the car is off the jacks. My buddy will repaint the calipers tonight. We just sand blasted them earlier this evening. I am hoping to take the car "towing" it to get the exhaust system tomorrow. <a href="http://s347.photobucket.com/albums/p450/chachacourt1/?action=view&current=IMG00337.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p450/chachacourt1/IMG00337.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

Ok, I took photos of what I am talking about. the middle part is too far out. when I put the wheel on, I cannot use the wheel cap. I cannot smash it in; so what do I do. I also had to buy a spacer because the wheel stops about 1/4 out not sitting flush; therefore, I bought a 1/4 inch wheel spacer I am good but I really want to use the caps. <a href="http://s347.photobucket.com/albums/p450/chachacourt1/?action=view&current=IMG00336.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i347.photobucket.com/albums/p450/chachacourt1/IMG00336.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
