ArchetypeDatsun Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 An L28ET would sure look nice in the engine bay :devil: Maybe a Z car front end conversion as long as its done right would be awesome. Quote Link to comment

BluEvo210 Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Thumbs up for replacing the front fascia and not getting aftermarket ricer stuff in its place. :thumbup: Does it have the electric shoulder belts that slide on the rail over the door frame? If so, you may be interested to know that S14 seatbelts are almost a direct bolt-in. I put some in my 1992 S13, and I've been meaning to take photos now that they're in. Quote Link to comment

squatches Posted February 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 hopefully ill be putting in the new clutch and 300zx rear end and axles tonight. then get to drive it finally, i havent worked on it in a few days because of busted ribs. Quote Link to comment
squatches Posted February 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 I dropped the transmission today and go to put the clutch a flexplate in only to find out the dowel pins and bolt holes wont line up. I go and check the parts number and its correct for the ka24de, but the new clutch is about a half inch shorter all the way around. The flex plate is smaller aswell so none of the alignment dowels or bolt holes line up. Now i have to figure out what has been swapped on to it. Quote Link to comment
h190 Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 If you have a flex plate then your have an automatic. I think you mean FLY WHEEL. If your new KA24DE specific clutch kit is too small then it is likely you have the larger 240mm sr20det flywheel installed vs the 225mm ka24de flywheel. 225mm plus 1/2 inch (12.7mm)= 237.7 mm Pretty close to 240mm just by eyeballing it.

motavated Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 I think the mod they did was for a vg30e or et flywheel. They had a bigger surface area i think. Look into that. I hope I am right. Quote Link to comment

I think the mod they did was for a vg30e or et flywheel. They had a bigger surface area i think. Look into that. I hope I am right. correct you are sir! after searching around last night i found out about this mod, ordered the right clutch this morning. Quote Link to comment
squatches Posted February 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2013 http://forums.nicoclub.com/240sx-white-bunny-clutch-setup-t227129.html Or this. this is also correct lol. the car was setup for a ka24det before i got it, so theres probably a few things that have been modified/changed that im going to run into. i plan to build another ka-t for it, or drop a ca18det in it if i come across one cheap.
