Good Luck on the sale Simon!

Mike, the clutch most likely can be used on another car. My clutch can be used on Fords also I believe, reason why there are more bolt holes for different bolt patterns. Glad to hear you got the car back on the road!

Teach! Great info Tony, learned something else from one of your post. Thanks.

Is it a Fairlady Z? Any pics?

Stupid question, well two: 1. Does it fit feel, meaning does the entire housing sit almost in the same place as stock housing. I was just wondering if there were any clearence issues with the wheels? 2. Is everything water tight and do you plan to drive it in the rain? 3. Would you be willing to make another set? This is what I got so far:

Where the hell r ya?

Is that the set you showed me? I am still interested in them.....send me pics again. clive.bogle@gmail.com

Any updates on this one?

That looks very good! Love the way it sits. Clive

Please do, I was in the middle of doing mine when it went all wrong. Would be nice to have a set by next yr when the car is painted. Clive

Not sure if this is a repost. Not mine but I like the front end, would change it some though: http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?p=1758577

It came out great...Happy Fathers Day too!

What is the username of the person who now owns those wheels? I have it right on the tip of my tongue and can't remember. Those are some nice wheels, I was second in line to buy them after him. Clive

Very cool moves.....was that a school talent show something? How long were you guys practicing for it? Dancing with the stars!

You guys are a little early on the post, 7pm tonight.

Do cars in progress count? Meaning my car is running but def not painted, lol. Also I wanted to know if HBZ as a whole would like only "finished" cars to represent us in the magazine? I have no problem with the outcome of how people feel. Either way we care in!!

The last post I had I was telling you guys about my clutch problems and suspension worries. Last week, I pulled the tranny out to find a very very burnt up clutch. Take a look at the pics: I had the flywheel resurfaced and put in a brand new clutch and pressure plate. The slave wasn't leaking and the throw out bearing was fine. I believe the clutch went out at 4k miles due to the burn outs and slipping the clutch when I first put it together. I read the directions this time about break in and they say break in period should be 500-1000 miles of "normal" driving. Clutch catch point is about an inch from the floor and everything feels good now. I am in the process of the break in period and will let you guys know if it makes it the distance this time. This is the RAM HD clutch set I am speaking of. So problem one solved and done. Suspension. I bought new 5-way adjustable from John Coffey, MSA sway bars and poly rear bushings. HUGE HUGE HUGE difference in the car. Honestly I have to relearn how to drive it! These parts installed with new tires 245/35/17 Toyo Proxies makes the car handle and drive very smoothly. I also believe the new front diff mount for the Q45 made a difference in my DS angle which cut down on the vibrations. Overall I am very happy with the money spent. I have not installed the rear sway bar yet. I am from the school of thought, that I install one part at a time to understand the difference it makes. My front rotors need to be cut due to time down at the last convention. Right now I have the ride height at 6.5" front and 6.75" rear which seems to work great....info from JohnC. I am still getting a little bit of tire rub in the rear but there are some really bumpy roads around here. So while the car was down I decided to change the oil, 5 and half quarts of synthetic oil. Started the car up and boom....oil spilling everywhere and oil shooting from the back of the motor! When I took the tranny out, the engine leaned back and the oil pressure sending unit hit the fire wall. The brass fitting snapped hence the oil mess all over the floor, engine bay and ceiling of the shop. Not a problem because I bought 2 fittings when I was putting the car together. Got her fitted back up and filled with oil, no problems! Next item on the block for my car is, cleaning up the wiring! SCARED!!!!

O just remembered, duh it is in the pic...I have that green E also.

What does NAPS stand for? I have one of those that came in a box of parts I got from a 75 Fairlady parts car. I believe I got something else in green also. 1 fast z mind if I post pics here? Clive

That looks really good! Never seen that before!

Lucky Lucky, glad to hear you are ok. Check back on an old thread, flames_187 had the same thing happen to him as I was driving behind him. You get so excited to drive the car, sometimes the little things you forget to double check. Hope it is a quick fix for you! PS, Pics! Clive
