Pilot bushing.

All datsun/Nissan Zs have the same one as far as I know.

I replaced it with a Nismo Roller Bearing. Just never got around to uploading the pic till now.

I couldn't believe how destroyed it was when I removed it.

The Nismo roller bearing should free up a HP or two mated with the light weight flywheel , compared to that old junked bushing and my old hi weight flywheel.

I'm expecting this car to rev a lot freer and at higher RPMs than it did previously.

Progress sounds good, and yea, the roller bearing with the lightweight flywheel should get you some instant revs.

I hope so. I found a place that makes aluminum drive shafts for my Z.

Once I get back on my feet thats going to be my next drive-train upgrade.

Then a Kaaz LSD after that. But thats a long long way off.


Engine may be going in soon.

Mannn, that looks neater and cleaner than some models I've built as a kid!

If it runs even half as good as it looks, I'm stayin' WAYYYYY away from you! 8)

Is it easier for you to replace the whole engine/gearbox as a unit, instead of individually?

Definitely easier, and more time efficient. I have done it both ways.

Finally got around to installing the FPR, but ran out of fuel line, and realized I'll need a 90* fitting. This is what happens when you buy a part a year or more before using it.

Me and my buddy Nick popped my headlight buckets back in and bolt in some other misc items.
