[Solid diff mounts cause FAILURES....]

Will having just poly mustache bar bushings with rubber engine, tranny, and front diff bushings cause stress to the rear crossmember?

[Petition to speed channel]

I would like to see more of the Runoffs than just a one time showing. So if you missed a particular race you would have a chance to catch another replay of it sometime. Instead you get Nascar shoved down your throat with day after day of that roundy roundy crap. I saw a tee shirt once at the Runoffs that said "Too stupid for opera, too smart for Nascar"

 

I think the reason that the SPEED Channel is basically the "Nascar Channel" is due to the fact that FOX purchased Speedvision in 2001. Then FOX and Nascar entered into an 8-year agreement to bascally ruin the Speedvision channel and show a bunch of Nascar crap.

Doh...you guys are right. I wasn't thinking in regards to R200 verses R180 and the difference in size between the two. Well, hopefully I won't need any clutches when I tear into my diff and check things over and test the breakaway. I guess if I do need any, then hopefully Nissan Motorsports or that Nissan Performance Parts place still can get them.

 

jmortensen....did you build a testing appartus similar to what Gordon talks about on his website for testing the breakaway when you tested yours?

So it's not like the diff is hard to come by, just the clutches.

 

That is what I meant, that if the clutch discs and plates are harder to find then it might be worth getting some now from Phyxius, whether I need them or not, for future rebuilds.

I'm still having an issue with carb spitting and engine stumble if I step too hard on the pedal. Under normal acceleration I would get it around 3500RPM. I went from 50 to 45's on the pumps, which shifted the stumble up to around 4500 RPM and its a little better on accel. I had 175's on the mains and went to 165's. I think I'm still running pig rich (as evidence by the black stain on the rear garage wall despite never running the car in the garage except to pull in and out).

 

What size are your venturis/chokes? I was having a similar stumble until I went up a size on the venturis. IIRC I went from 32 to 34 venturi.

[I got a '87 z31 LSD (w/ some questions)]

I don't know if I need any discs or plates yet, since I don't have my diff out of the car yet, however I would be interested in getting some for future use since it sounds like these clutch LSD components are becoming harder and harder to come by, so it might be a good idea to have some on hand just in case.

I am about to pull my R180 LSD out of my car and go through the same things you guys are talking about here. I was researching where to get clutches and disks and I found this place, http://performancenissanparts.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=1002_1003_1027_1030&osCsid=dfd9b016c39e46a146beae3ac46a3724 , Performance Nissan Parts, and they list clutch disks and plates for ~$15 each for the R200.
