Dumb questions probably

Ok Im installing the clutch setup in this Z32TT. Now 2 things kinda look like a problem. Where the Clutch Master cylinder and pedal go is blocked off, What exactly do I do? Start cutting out the holes or does that thing that looks like a plate pop off?

Secondly, the clutch line, ATM the engine is still in the car. How exactly does that fish up to the fender bleed port and to the master cylinder?

I'm sorta sure I have the rest of the stuff down...maybe... Auto to 5speed swap is a pain in this car so far

OH ya. Is there an auto trans pilot bushing in there that must come out?

Answered my own question about the pilot bushing.
Now Im wondering what is the point of the bleeder port on the wheel fender anyways??? I'm thinking of cutting it off and blocking off the port.

Im comparing this to another 300ZX now

Ok Ive gotten everything done sept for the clutch lines @.@ I wish It wasnt an evil pain to pull the engine out. if it was like a 280ZX I would pull the engine w/o question but hell this thing looks EVIL to get out...

Damn 300ZX -.- This is why I love the S30s and S130

And dude there is wire that have been cut and a hole bunch of other crap. if I get this thing running it will be amazing.

Half the wires cut I dont even know what they goto! So Im praying this thing will run when Im done ok not really. its not my car lol Im just getting paid to fix it.

This is funny he bought a Auto to 5speed kit then ended up getting an N/A tranny for a TT Z, AND he didnt get a brake pedal! So hes got the auto brake pedal and the clutch lol
