Wow

Out of the two I resealed one popped right out the other I used the block wedge to support the shaft leaving the nut on. I gave it a douse of Kano Kroil oil and let it sit for an hour and it then popped t with a bar through the slot and it broke broke loose.

Sounds like you have the tail shaft casing apart. There is a small seal that the shifting rod goes through . Available through Nissan. This keeps gear oil from pooling into where the shifter mounts. Easy to replace with the housing and shift rod removed. Pull it out with a small pic and insert the new one. I recommend you replace it. Same with the speedo assembly. That you can do any time.

Looks sweet Cliff!

We’re you able to change the small seal in the shifter rod housing?

Looks Good!!

What???

Hey John, I was looking to have my shaft refurbished as well. Took it to a driveshaft specialist here in town and was told they could not replace the u-joints. Half shafts yes but not the drive shaft. They built a new one for me. Ended up being around $350. It’s a stouter shaft than the original. Someone on the forum mentioned ZCD had u-joints but were only available through the 77 model.

Yes, that’s what I thought. Unfortunately mine is a 78 and the shaft is not repairable. Had to have a complete shaft built. Thanks for the input.

Where did you find replacement joints for the shaft?

Very nice quality flywheel. Haven’t fired the motor yet. Seems to be good quality. Good people at Godzilla.

I have that same flywheel. Did they they mention the circular shim that’s required to take up the diameter difference between the RB and L series crankshaft. You will need that. The bolt pattern is identical of course but I think you will want the shim to fill the gap difference on the crank. It’s a well made flywheel.

Just curious on your suspension plans. What are you going to use for your front and rear strut’s? Factory or an aftermarket version.

We’re here friend, today, tomorrow and the day after that.

If it doesn’t work out with the money transfer to the off shore account I have a set. Just a backup plan if needed. 😂😂😂

You can try a oil a rust penetrant like Kano Kroil or PB blaster and soak it. The other option is heat. Sounds like it’s seized on there.

To start it would be interesting to see what the pressure is doing when it’s fluttering and after t smooths out.

Where did these come from??

Fuel pressure gauge??

Just recently tried to pick up some fasteners at my local Fastenal. They recently started a new policy where there was a minimum $ amount of $25 for non-account holders. Not sure if this is corporate wide or not.

Didn’t you recently change radiator? I thought about asking you if the radiator was thinner, but seems like you would have noticed that much difference between the two.

That looks Good.

Had the same dilemma ended up just grinding off enough metal so you can use the clip. Haven’t tried this yet but someone in this he past mentioned to flip flop the cables. You have to slip them out of the hangars to do that.

Done business with these guys one time. They are third party and don’t have a whse. Asked the rep one day and he admitted not stocking anything local. Still check pricing but beware. speaking of car parts.com
