Went to 1/8 mi track to test before Uprev.

Track had 0 prep so didn't launch but still whooped up on new camaro ss (don't think he could drive) and 98 mustang gt (he got me on launch but I was saying bye bye by 2nd gear)

still working on putting little things back together but the Z is almost back to one piece with the full vinyl wrap color change. I miss the red but the gold is bright.

De plastidipped my handles. Now I know why you should put on tons of coats. What a chore

With my buddy taking the lead, we got 60-70% through Z1 CSC Elimination Kit install. Most of the kit is installed. The work isn't fun, especially without a lift or a jack or jack stands that allow us to remove the transmission out from under the car. All that said, we really haven't encountered any hassles except a few bolts and some tight fitting working conditions. We'll finish up tomorrow morning.

Here's a few more photos of the work done yesterday. Should be getting back to work a little later this morning.

OEM front bell housing cover removed.

New cover, throwout bearing, and lever arm installed for the CSC Elimination Kit.

I'm happy the clutch plate looks to be in good shape for 50K+ miles.

The root cause of this work - I wasn't interested in the OEM CSC failing while I'm out in the Middle of Nowhere, Texas. Thank you, Nissan, for using clutch components made of plastic.

Don't think the lugs are the problem or the wrench...looks like it's the wheels allowing the lugs to seat to far down which punch them through the top...I would invest in new lugs...that are longer.
