Clutch fork throw
That's great. I was just searching around on rockauto and they showed a part being available so I took a chance. We'll see what I get. Your delay wasn't a problem. I was just being a little random...

I understand. I have a new part on the way. Let me lay my hands on that first

Building reliable 280z?
I think I would start with clean fuel

Maybe put the map in a members only area or something? So the web crawlers can't access it...

ZCON 2024
I would have liked to have made Toronto. If I ever get the car finished I will try to make it to some of these events that are out of our region so I can meet some members in person that wouldn't otherwise happen

Member Map?
So I guess the member map is gone??

I have bought a 240mm clutch kit. I'm not sure of the difference in the collars.

Clutch fork throw
Current collar: 1.506" ( 38.25 mm) OA height 1.091" ( 27.7 mm) from the top to the milled flat So smaller than all 4 in post #130 If I went to the ZX collar I would theoretically gain 15mm. Making my stack up about 92mm. Does anybody have one? @Terrapin Z?

Interior roof and pillar trim
Started messing with this tonight. It takes a second to get oriented on how the header piece needs to be to clip the wind lace over it. Once I get this clipped in and like it I will trim it back some. Then I'm gonna glue the foam to the metal. Then glue the header piece to the front flange...

Looking for compatible sway bars for my L28 Datsun 240Z
What about your car makes you think it would be a problem?

Auction estimate $100,000 - $125,000 That would be really good ROI !!

So I went to Cody's today and got some more pictures: I'm going to do all the math here at the top to keep it all together Fingers to the surface - 1.744" (44.3mm) Complete stack OA with old bearing - 3.305" (83.95mm) complete OA less ear offset - 0.415" (10.54mm) New bearing is 1.692" thick versus (42.98mm) The old bearing was 1.701" thick but probably lost a ten due to the bearing being backwards So that looks like 44.3 mm + 42.98 mm - 10.54 mm = 76.74 mm to the ears

I will reverse the bearing. It's bad anyway and noisey. I wondered if it was oriented correctly. I will make some better pictures

Zed, Im not sure I have the old parts. That's one problem. I thought I should verify the stack up height before we finished assemblyof the engine. Which is pretty far off. I believe the transmission is a 79 280zx 5 speed. I think we reused the collar that was in it, but not positive. Cody might remember. Im not sure how well it shifted before we rebuilt it. I know reverse was an issue but the idler gear was rough. So maybe it wasn't fully disengaging? I ordered the exedy to compare to the Luk. But even so, I don't know where I would expect to find 18mm?
