A huge improvement, (thanks JMort for the advise) Autopower scca 4 bar now open hoop. Laser driveshaft alignment, runs dead smooth. DS angle 1.2 A huge ball of wire gone. $1300 gearbox repair. Total weight savings 70-75 lbs. Now i'm broke so insu and carpet will have to wait till spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buZy Posted October 5, 2006 Author Share Posted October 5, 2006 Well guys drove the Z less than 50 miles since rolling two days ago, never gassed it hard once.....heard a brief light ticking noise for a few seconds, now somewhere its making noise again between the flywheel and DS. sucks! Thats all I know but I have a bad feeling about this. Just threw 1300 at the gearbox. Either way, its back on the jacks.....sigh:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavy85 Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Yeah what's with the foam and rivets. I see weld in there so it's not in lieu of welding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 I'd guess it's insurance against rattles, heat, and noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS1 240Z Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 cant weld aluminum to steel, so have to rivit it looks like he cut out the stock placement of the seat brackets and put that aluminum in there, put foam between the floor pans and the new aluminum and just bolted seats straight to the floor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buZy Posted October 10, 2006 Author Share Posted October 10, 2006 Yes the non rusted stock seat mounts and cross frames were cut out by the previous owner to mount some 55 lb seats. So thats how that whole project started. Used aluminmun instead of steel for this particular project to save weight and do something different. 1 inch hex stock spacers drilled through placed between stock floor and seat pan.
