To me,the Z clutch install is way quicker than in a 240....much more room in a Z.
Im lost on the flywheel bolts? what was different about them???

umm I'd rather not say lol
I got the car up on 6 ton suv jack stands but I definately shouldve taken it higher. (I didn't raise them all the way)
ended up having some interesting issues like whoever put the last flywheel in didn't use Nissan flywheel bolts so I had to go to two different stealerships to buy them. Ended up not finishing fast enough before I had to go back to work so I'm just about done now. I just have to bolt up the exhaust and the interior around the shifter. It's sad cuz I did my buddies clutch in his 240 like two months ago in four hours and that was including taking the time to resurface his flywheel.

The weather is nice.........
For those of you interested........If you haven't noticed I have been on a bushing replacement streak lately........
I have true coil overs, so naturally on my list is to replace the rear upper shock mount bushing on the rear knuckle.
well, i found out that if you have true coilovers you can use your spring bucket bushing to replace a blown out shock mount bushing in the knuckle.
Here im using a 26mm socket to press out the oem spring bucket bushing:
I also found that the rear shock mount bushing is the same as the lower "lug" spring bucket KNUCKLE bushing as well.
I bought whitelines that i plan to install hopefully this weekend.

Jason, Say I go with true coilover style coilovers. Would I only need the shock mount bushings assuming I went with rear tow links as a replacement for the spring buckets?

I did sir.. Im going to have to look at it in person. if that plastic piece is supposed to be there and screws in the lip...and then lip gets rolled....Im afraid that it wont be able to get put back on - if thats the case - the plastic trip "wont look right"... thats all im really concerned about - everything else I have covered..
