Came back from work today to discover a nice big tire smudge across the driver side of my front bumper from someone's poor attempt at parallel parking on the street

Have you found a T5 280zxt tranny? Will need to fab a mount and bend the shifter to fit. It took me over 6 months to find a used one back in the 90's. Junk yards keep sending the regular Datsun 5-speed. Nissan doesn't sell them anymore, not for a long time. Also tried this back in the 90's. Have you found a Diesel Maxima crank for the stroker build? So rare, I gave up looking.

I chanced upon it on eBay. I saw several of them still available. I get most of my stuff on Yahoo Auctions Japan. I use proxy bidding when applicable.
