Message	So Adam's motor is waiting for some love & attention. Spencer & I set out to accomplish a few things on my "To Do before Zcon" list and to lighten the amount of parts that I have in permanent storage for my car that never seem to see the light of day. Mission: 60K flywheel & new clutch disc down pipes drive shaft test pipes SPL pivot ball PCV valves Action: Spencer really into his work This photo is clearly staged/Photoshoped. I have never before done a 60k...on my own Z. It was a little odd feeling honestly. Last week I half jokingly asked Kaz if he wanted to do it because he did the one on my 2+2 years ago. Spencer was asking about a private medical matter... This is prob. the 5th flywheel I bought w. the intention of putting it on my car, somehow I finally manged to get it bolted on to my car before someone else walked in w. a clutch emergency. Things going back together on the 60K front: PCV valves 3, Spee, Ashley, Me 0 My precious... thanks to SupraKillin' Antonio for parting ways w. this. ~11.5lbs vs. over 33lbs stock. Driveway full of Z's and raining - time to pitch a tent and install a fuel pump. Duh. And finally - install some pink/purple 2 piece rotors & R32 calipers for Ashley so that she can track on something better then original stock pads & matching fluid. The R32 calipers will fit behind stock 7.5" rotors w. a thin spacer (prob. 5mm is enough) or you have to grind away some of the edge of the caliper. However if you run the wider TT 8.5 wheels all around, they will clear w. out any extra hardware. Nissan really should have made this caliper & rotor size standard on the Z from the get go. Thanks again to Spencer & Ashley in particular for really helping me get past the mission critical pre-Zcon items.
