Thanks for the links Darth, S&W specifically had a kit for the 240Z! Shipping is high dollar but I guess I can't complain. I noticed that the Art Morrison 10 point cages looked different than the S&W cages. They had bars that look like they would extend into the engine bay, that's not for me. As for Competition Engineering, I had asked them before if they had anything I could use for the Z and they simply said "no". Hmph! Owen ------------------ http://www.homestead.com/s30z/index.html

Speaking of rollcages, I can't find a pre made one for the Z! Autopower has kind of a 6 point with weld-ons to make it an 8 point, but it's not nhra approved! I guess I have to go with a custom made one... Spencz, the autopower one looks like it will go into a z without tearing up the interior too much, it doesnt have the front pillar bars but it does have the 2 diagonal door bars. Owen

for your advice on zcar.com about the rear disc brackets. Is that the only way to get them off? I'd rather not buy new tools, I dont even know what a slide hammer is! Aren't my options limited with the after market brackets? Plus they're expensive. Owen ------------------

what are the message icons for? those werent there earlier... anyways, guy at summit told me that it can just be swapped on...he better be right! Owen ------------------

Dan, In reply to your question about using a smaller balancer instead of the 8-incher that came with our engines built by the Blok Shop... I went with the Summit SUM-B64266 Ext Bal 400, 6.6-inches. it was the cheapest one in the catalog. speced at 50% higher than SFI 18-1 specs. whatever that means, as long as it fits and works. i hope i didnt wack it on too hard...really worried. Price was $224.50 Mark said not to change the balancer but there was no way in hell I was gonna start grinding for balancer clearance! I guess I should get a new timing pointer cuz my balancer is smaller now? As for the starter, I chose the SUM-G1659. 1/3 smaller, 40% lighter and 50% more cranking power. At $157.95 I only chose the Summit brands cuz i am running out of funds! Got to remember, building a street car, not a race car! Owen
