Choose clutch based on Flywheel size. You can use a 240mm Flywheel in a coupe if you want. I would not use the 225mm flywheel on a 2+2.

Well, all of that ought to keep you pretty busy. Are there many Z's in your area?

Cool Dave! So, what are you doing for Nissan down there.

Oops, somebody is in the doghouse. :nervous: $106 for a new pump sounds like a great price. Hope MSA can get more. Lot's of CA cars are going to need them since the new Smog Laws got signed by AHHnold.

Vicky: Did the Air Pump that came on the Vintage Z die so soon? I thought those things lasted for ever.

I asked MSA about the sale catalogs, and they said that they are in .pdf for a limited time period, and they plan to have their entire catalog online eventually. I have been using the same (hardcopy) catalog for 3 years and just use the online order form, asking for price quotes and shipping charges. While Chloe was in business I didn't order from MSA too often, but I guess I'll be getting used to it all over again.

MSA does have a parts listing (it is still a work in progress) on-line and you can order from their website or catalog via the internet. https://www.zcarparts.com/internet_orders.htm

Absolutely!

Just a little ol' Hayabusa... ...that happens to go 250mph! 8/6/2004 Suzuki Hayabusa Streetbike Clocked At 251 MPH In Texas From a press release issued by Scott Guthrie: Scott Guthrie, at age 59-3/4 an aging road racer for sure, slammed Rich Yancy's street legal Suzuki Hayabusa hard through the 250 MPH barrier, to a final official record speed of 251.148 MPH. That's the fastest speed ever recorded for a streetbike, and the fastest record in history for what land speed racers call an "open wheel bike," and the track record. Guthrie's big speed came on his final run Sunday 1 AUG 04 at the TEXAS MILE top speed race (www.texasmile.com) near Goliad, TX. The 251.148 MPH terminal speed was after a standing-start mile run to the timing trap. Guthrie said "With the wind coming up, and the day getting warmer, I knew that run was going to be the only chance in my life to break the 250 MPH barrier. The run before was a 248 MPH time, so I knew the bike was ready. I just had to put down the best pass of my life to get the record." Rich Yancy, an engine man for Dale Earnhardt Inc, trucked his daily ride bike from his home in Charlotte NC to Texas for just this meet, at Guthrie's insistance. "This is the best paved Land Speed Racing track available in the USA, and I knew we had to go there to have any real chance for this record. My agreement to ride for Rich was up Sunday evening, so this was it," Guthrie allowed later. "I knew the bike was capable of that speed, I just had to be the one to ride it." Before Guthrie took over the fast seat, builder Yancy himself made a track-record run of 244.358 MPH. "It is so confidence inspiring that Rich is willing to build and tune the bike, prepare it and deliver it to the track by himself. And then he sets the track record himself, and hands me the keys! I just KNEW the bike was safe, fast, and would run straight." Guthrie glowed, "How many tuners will do that for their riders? Rich is a quiet genius with the bike, and one of the world's best land speed racers, in his own right." Yancy's bike is almost standard in appearance, with stock appearing bodywork and tank, stock forks, stock wheelbase, and full street equipment. The big difference is the addition of a MR TURBO turbo kit, which has been extensively modified by Yancy, including a VERY trick Yancy designed -and-built intercooler. No skinny thing, the bike weighs in at full standard curb weight. "This bike is so docile off the throttle, you get no idea about the power on tap. Rich told me he was going to ride it to work when he got home, and show it off to his friends at the job." Guthrie said. In addition to building the record setting Hayabusa, Yancy had a hand in building the engine for this years' winner of the NASCAR Daytona 500. Terry Kiser, builder of the MR TURBO kit was on hand to watch Guthrie's record breaking 251 MPH blast. Kiser remarked: "Guthrie's run was by no means easy. From 500 yards away, I saw the wind catch him twice. He's lucky he stayed on!" Kiser then took the bars himself, and posted a 239.304 MPH personal best. Guthrie is no stranger to road racing. Long time readers may recall that one of Guthrie's TZ750's finished 8th and 10th in the Daytona 200 in 1983 and 1984, under John Long. Source: Roadracing World

Well, it's all relative, but it's the only way to get the rust preventative benefit of POR15. If you apply it over paint, it cannot prevent rust. It must be in direct contact with seasoned (rusty, or properly prepared) metal.

Are you going to strip off all of the existing paint in the engine bay?

I can understand why it wouldn't be popular. Looks like something to protect the bumper/body from each other in shipping & meant to be removed before a customer saw it. :sick: Does it even show up in the microfiche?

I've heard of people having the inner wire replaced at Motorcycle shops. I have not done it myself. My MSA catalog lists a choke cable for 1974 Z car PN#11-3104...........$132.83 on Page 66 (catalog is at least 3 years old, so price may be different. PN should not)

Seller is: too busy to show it too busy to provide recent pics of it requires bidders to have 98% feedback (his own feedback is less than 98%) something's fishy

Most of the V8 Z owners belong to www.hybridz.org

On a stock 240/260/280Z there are no alignment adjustments on the rear suspension. No Camber No Caster No Toe

The only way you are going to be able to get the old rack bushings out and the new ones installed is from below, with the nuts that secure motor mounts to the crossmember removed, and the engine jacked up about an inch or two. Otherwise there is not enough clearance to do the job.

No pictures?

Try the Crane Cams website. Usually that stuff is usually available for download.

No. There have been several threads about this situation over the past few years. It is usually caused by a combination of worn out parts including (but not limited to)steering coupler, inner/outer tie-rod ends, rack bushings, control arm bushings, ball joints, wheel bearings, un-balanced tires/wheels.

I'm happy with my Centerforce I.
