Hey' date=' I have to make up for my [i']short[/i]comings some how...
When you go thru life with the most important part of your package being to small, one trys to over compensate...
In that pic, it was just sitting on the valance. It will drop down another 1.5", and move rearward qnother 3 to 4".
James tril fit it on his Z, so I'm confident he made them work with the hood....
I also run the two peice 5 lug (5 on 4.5) adaptors on my turbo Z. I've put them thru some pretty hard launches (not track use though). I have broke two seperate CV shafts, but the adaptors have held up fine....
Look on the tailshaft housing. where the rear seal is. If it has 1 slotted tab its a 82-83 5spd, if it has two tabs, it a early 5 spd.
Thats one of the ways to tell the early 5spd from the late.
As far as I know they will fit exactly the same. The only difference I know of will be the intake and exhaust arrangment.
Maybe Stony will chime in to back me up on this....
I'm having some flanges made as we speak. James Thagard http://www.speedshopthagard.com hooked me up with a guy, and I sent him in a Tomei metal exhaust gasket I just bought from Japan.
Mine will be two 3 bank flanges, but I'm sure he can make it all in one peice.
This was the contact email James sent me.....
Please send your gaskets to the following address. The cost on the flange
will be in the $75 range from 3/8" mild steel.

I SECOND THAT !! I have gone thru many a aftermarket gasket until I went with the OEM turbo man/ehx gasket.
Give Courtesy Nissan a ring or email, the'll have one at your doorstep asap... and at a decent price too.... 8)
I'll give you the and a big when you can use the full potential of what that 4.5" core can support. Ofcourse this doesn't mean I'll ever get close to using the 3.5" core to it's full potential, but I'll give it hell.
I'm working on it...
you liked that huh...?
I had one on the motor I just sold, and it was a 240mm 13lbs alum Findanza flywheel.
They ought to know what they are talking about, thats what they sell. They sell 13 lbs 225mm, and 240mm, not 241mm 10 lbs flywheels, FYI....
