The L24 makes LESS hp and tq than the KA24DE... and costs more to make that power. Yes it will bolt on... the oil pan will be tilted 15degrees the wrong way though. http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=153150

New direction. L24 out. Will be up for sale... KA IN!! That an L-series transmission, using L-series bell. No tricks.

Its not that I think fluxcore is superior... I'm just letting the OP know that welding sheet with it is NOT fruitless. Its doable, and the results are acceptable. When I learned to weld sheet metal, I had to use an ARC welder, and OXY-ACET.

Practice, practice, practice... I have 2 welders here in my garage, lincoln 110v 140, and lincoln 220v 180. I have successfully welded as thin as 22ga mild steel with .035 fluxcore, it does take a bit more experience than welding with gas, but I am happy welding with fluxcore for everything. I use .030 now (much easier than the .035 I must admit), I can run nice clean beads on 18ga no problem, and I don't change wire when welding anything between sheet up to 1/4" plate. For slag, I use a wire wheel on my 4" angle grinder, works excellent.

The sender in your tank acts like a potentiometer or sorts... it may be bad.

from wikipedia; From 1968 until 1999, FHI was 20% owned by Nissan, who acquired the stake in 1968 during a period of government-ordered merging of Japanese auto industry firms in order to improve competitiveness under the administration of Prime Minister Eisaku Satō. During their ownership, Nissan was primarily interested in its bus manufacturing division and lent automaking expertise to Subaru. Upon Nissan's acquisition by Renault, its 20% stake was sold to General Motors, but GM announced on October 6, 2005 that it will sell 8.4% of the company to Toyota and disposed of its remaining share, 11.6% of the company, on the market. [2] On April 10, 2008, Toyota increased its stake in FHI to 16.7% and announced the end of minicar production at its facility in Gunma Prefecture. Daihatsu, a subsidiary of Toyota, will instead supply the cars to FHI

Good question to pose to Gabriel himself. However, my understanding is that its meant to be used with a coilover kit. It is weld in though, their website states that. I want to be able to adjust caster as well as camber, so I will be ordering his pillowball adjusters without the plates (I will make my own plates). I haven't got a quote on them yet, waiting for a return email which will probably show up tomorrow (just sent my zip for shipping tonight).

His car is a 240z, yours is a 280z, the radiator support on yours is lower even at stock height.

Yeah, your right... calling people who provide you with relevant info ASSes doesn't GET you help either. Interesting how you KNOW that I was being rude, but how could I be when giving you good leads. If you've already done the searching it might help to LIST the places you've searched. Good luck with that.

panda garage, takumi project, memory fab... google much?

mustang wheels are usually 4x4.25

Making carbon fiber parts that will be unpainted is quite different from fiberglass. It requires vacuum bagging, and its a tedious task for a DIY'er. Its a fairly simple concept, but put words to work is whole nother thing. Nice job on the bumper. I really enjoyed straightening my bumpers, and welding them up to get the smooth look of your FG bumper, but it was a hell of a lot of WORK. I still have more to do, it would be impossible to make it straight without removing all the brackets, and I STILL need to remove some brackets and move them! (I have a 73 with the bumper that sticks out) I think I may give this a go one day when I get some other mini-projects out of the way.

This doesn't look good? Its actually 3-4 colors IRL.

I have both 240mm and 225mm clutches out in the shop, they both use 6bolt pressure plates. The measurement is the diameter of the clutch disc, the flywheels are the same size, but the dowels and bolt holes are further out on the 240mm. If you measure the friction surface on the flywheel you have, it will measure out to approximately 8 3/4" for 225mm, and approximately 9 1/2" for the 240mm.

I believe the turbo cars use a 240mm flywheel/clutch. The 225mm clutch will be lighter than a 240mm, just get a clutch that minimally rated for the power your making... better to get a clutch rated for more. Another option is to get a pressure plated thats rated for more power and a clutch disc rated lower, this will let the clutch give a little more and less likely to eat your tranny (this is only insurance not a guarantee). I would avoid hard clutch dumps no matter the tranny/clutch setup you choose... unless you're just made of money.
