RB26powered74zcar

You can use any hatch from a 240, 260, or 280 long as its a 2 seater. If you use a early 240 hatch, I believe they only have a left hand side shock that holds up the hatch, where the 260/280 hatch has a shock on both sides to help hold it open.

Not correct. All 240, 260, and early 280's have the same early style door jam hardware. It did not change until in the 77 model. This is how I understand it to be... * Edit* this is of course for US spec.

I have had mine just like Warren's when I had the L6 motor. I now have a duel band AutoMeter EGT gauge, so I put one probe in #3 runner, and the other probe in #6, as shown, right up against the ports...

I still have my Accusump kit sitting on a shelf in my shop. I haven't got around to installing it yet because I wanted to wait until after my motor was fully broken in before install. I will dig into the install here shortly, and post pictures afterwards.. This is the kit I have (2qt.)>

Its a early if its a 5/74. Mine is a early and its 5/74. The VIN is RLS30-035267

I've had pretty good luck using a two part plastic repair kit that comes in a twin syringe type container. Just squirt out what you need and mix the two parts together. I picked it up at Nappa Auto parts, but have seen this type of plastic repair kits at other stores also. Sorry, don't remember a name brand.

Thanks for posting that photo Mike, that will help those needing a alternative to the methods already being used for the sump mod. With this mod you show, will a RB20/Z31 pan just sit right down on that block with out any mods, or are the usual mods still needed to the rim of the pan, to bulge it out around the added pick up mounting flange? Please explain the baffling mods needed, if any, to the pan also, if you can... Thanks again and nice job on the fabrication.

Those are definite balance holes drilled in that crank. Mine never had as many that I can remember, but I can see what looks to be semi fresh holes on the throws... others are most likely from the factory.

Heres what happened to mine while trying to start it up after I swapped out ECM's from a Tec2 to a Tec3r. The CAS sensor was sync'd wrong at the time...

This piece is so beautiful, I'm just thinking.... would there be any available bonding material that could be used instead of welding this fine piece of intake jewelry...?? I just hate thinking a weld will marry these two parts together...

OK, got some better pics. This R200 looks bizarre to me, and it sure don't look like a open diff to me. Anybody recognize this carrier? click to enlarge>

lol.... answer my question and I'll answer yours....>> http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=134001

That would be sweet... brand new gear box. I'm sure the rb25det box is still avail new if the Z32 is...?? The million dollar question is.... how much??

Trying to idenify this R200 LSD carrier... anyone know for sure by the looks? click

This can't be for real.... have you been driving this car in the same condition as shown in those two pictures?? (with a drive shaft of course)

I was helping moderate over there and we had a rash of spambot attacks where I was constantly deleting porn they were posting, so Andy shut it down until he can upgrade the software to handle this issue....

Alot of clutch company's provide their own new T/O bearing already attached to the new collar, because their finished height of the pressure plate fingers are different than a stock clutch, so again, that may indeed solve your problem by getting a 10mm taller collar.... In that picture you provided above, showing the old and new pressure plate side by side, you see where the T/O bearing has made its mark on the old one, where it engages against the fingers?...... just for $hit$ and giggles, place both pressure plates on a smooth surface, then can you grab a tape measure and stick it into the hole in the center of each pressure plate, and measure from the surface they are laying on, up to the fingers where the T/O presses on them, and see if you get the same distance on the old and new pressure plate... just curious...
