Message I know, I know... repost. That being said, Greg is a fantastic guy to deal with and was a great help in assisting me in my clutch/flywheel setup for my RB26 in my Z. I have to run a N/A Z32 clutch, so we settled on a 5 puck sprung RPS clutch kit for the N/A Z. Got it fast too!

I've decided to run the stock RB26 flywheel (which the N/A Z32 clutch bolts up to) because the aluminum ones wouldn't last too long with said clutch (LOTS of heat), and the twin and triple disc clutches for the RB26 won't fit due to my setup.


Anyway, I digress: Greg also helped me out with an adaptor for the oil pressure sending switch, which is a 1/8 BPT (not NPT), but there's no BPT 90 degree adaptor that exists for what I'm needing.

Thanks again GDP and Specialty Z!

...and to get a little off topic, for those who are wondering, here's how the transmission is set up:

* Z32 transmission, motor mount, and trans mount, all in stock location.
* RB26 AWD trans. bellhousing
* 300zx front trans. cover (moved the pivot ball to the other hole)
* RB26 front transmission cover gasket
* RB25DET clutch slave cyl. mounted to RB26 bellhousing
* RB26DETT OEM flywheel
* Z32 N/A clutch and pressure plate
* Z32 TO bearing, pilot bushing, and clutch fork.

...the amazing thing it, it looks stock. (the transmission). Thank goodness for Nissan using interchangable parts from the Skyline GT-R and the Z32!
