Gonna make someone a REAL sweet 40 with that drivetrain.

I totally agree Lou! in college my roommate had a turbo II and so much fun.
That last gen are sweet.

Lou, when you quit the team, be sure and turn in your uniform (the kuhls, all of them) back to the manager.
Those RX7 are bad ass, like the supras of the era. Are the newer RX8s able to be built like the 7s? They are certainly cheap. Newer Nissan Zs are pretty cheap now to, but not sure if they are as good as the old ones either.

Andrew was close.
Yes.
Yes.
Hell no.
Yes.
No way.
I've had both as well. 3 TT zx's and a non turbo. Also had a 350z. The lengths you have to go to on a VQ engine (newer 350/70) they're not worth it.
Still. Very fun to drive. Hard to beat the 300zx TT. this one of mine had 450whp. At about 1 bar.
This 350z vert was great. Just not fast enough.

Back to the regularly scheduled program...
This thing is cleaning up nicely. Waiting on a few seals and gaskets for this front axle and some more detail work.
Probably need to pull the 3rd members just by looking at the s*** that poured out of the hubs......smh. 'Just a clutch'.

Nice work. Don't mess with 3rds. They will oil up,with fresh juice in the axle.
It will drain out. You can drive then drain again. 3rds are 3rd world beef

I agree with Grogan on this. Don't pull them unless they are leaking. What you gonna do other than clean them up while you have them out? The new gear oil will do that for you. Drive a little then drain and fill again. A lot less trouble if you ask me. We've pulled a ton of them and it's always kind of a pain.
I've got a 5 gallon of 140 wt that would be good for this.
