Message	I finally got back from a week long underway and got the chance to work on the Z again. We made some progress and then ran into a snag that makes me want to give up. First of all, I have no idea how any man can possibly get the nuts off of the driver's side precat. They seem straight up impossible! As for the other big problem (actually, there are 2 of them right next to each other), check out the last pic and you will see what I mean. Other than those issues, the downpipes, flywheel, clutch, and tranny are ready to go up. Tonight was a night of pilot bushing replacement, rear main seal replacement, flywheel removal, and passenger precat removal. ----------------------------------------------------- Never Play Leapfrog With A Unicorn!!! Do yourself a favor and just worry about your own car. I don't see what everyone is so worried about anyway. If someone else wants to perform a modification that you believe will destroy the value, cheapen the Z32 or whatever you can't sit on your hands about, wouldn't that make your tastefully-modified, white bread Z32 more rare and valuable? -- BradZ (FL) on December 23, 2007 at 12:19 PM The unicorn gets its revenge... -- Scotts94z32 on September 19, 2006 at 11:12 AM CLICK TO PURCHASE THE ZAMA STORAGE FACILITY POSTER!!!
