How can you tell a borg warner from datsun?? 5-speed....
With the 79 having multiple failures brakes ,clutch, power window motor, wiring issues with the fuel pump time to say good bye. 
I bought a t-top with a blown head what I thought was an 83 is a 80 after finally signing the title. it has a blown head n/a how ever this was a crack pots car. All new poly bushings fancy suspension parts slotted rotors brembo's magnaflow 2.5 exhaust and high end ignition system the big WTF ! is it has a rack pinion steering and my rear end has cv joints ??? build date 7 /79 tittle date 3/80??? My source says its all been swapped? So with the motor exchange Im going to need a new clutch how do I visually tell if it is a borg?? Feels way different than my stock. Mines a 9 and the borg is a 9.5 dia disk i think. Or do they sell just a clutch alignment tool so I can swap flywheels? Oh last quick question as not to have many threads I have a funky pipe from under the manifold going to a box next to the mass air sensor then going to the intake as a separate smaller filter never seen this on my 79 or 81??? Once again thanks BTW anyone want great parts send me a mesg 79 is complete I have a stock pyle hate to junk with good rust free parts!

The clutch sizes are based on 2seater, or 2+2 / Turbo (yes, the 2+2 & turbo both use the same size clutch). The alignment tool is the same size for both, as the only difference is the friction area.
So transmission doesn't matter, but if this is a "mixed-bag" of parts car, who knows what size clutch he has in it. To answer your question anyway, yes, the BW T5 is very different visibly:

Yea its the stock nissan....... what i know is i got it off a 18 yr old kid. car has no heater core or anything behind the dash but the car is 100% rust free so here I go yet again. Bought it for 600.00 while i was working on my rusted 79 so at least this time im starting off right. Wife is ready to call tlc to get me on hoarders lol so I just want to get it done 
now I drove this car with the bad head and it still flys much more than my 79 so im just going to switch out motors and leave the gear train alone. what is this on the Bitch scale? or am i better doing a full engine tranny pull like my 79???

storage of the z is at a barn up my camp.........so gotta wait till saturday. Its a heater core type line going to a small filter as if it is a breather filter you buy for a civic.......The rubber meets a chrome line kicking 90 degrees under the intake. Once again haven't had the time to start yet so going to jack it up.... No boost gauge and no whoosh noises just sounds extremely cammed. or its losing so much compression from the bad head. However it hit 70 in three short shifts. 4-5 secs tops my camp is off a very straight empty roadway so I laid the fog down with a buddy
. But my source says its a bad spedo reading with the r200 rear not calibrated with the gearing... Main question here can I just buy a clutch alinement tool. Oh lol yea this car was killed by a 18 year old gangsta throwing orange "Dex cool" on top of glycol "green" cause it was "performance" so depressing.... Shot the cocket from the rad it looks new however I know I must replace the rad.

Be careful not to unscrew the large nut on the top/driver side of the transmission. It's NOT an oil filler or inspection nut. It's really the pivot bolt for the shifter arm that controls reverse. If you take it out it disconnects the arm and drops a circlip into the bottom of the trans. You have to completely open the trans case to reset everything.
To open the case you take off the shifter and drive a roll-pin out of the shifter rod. Then remove the 8 bolts around the housing to remove it. You can then take the top cover off the transmission and expose the gears.
