ABS isn't related at all to the transmission. Check fluid level and bleed all bleed points... 4 calipers + ABS unit under the panel behind the passenger's seat. (Start furthest from reservoir, progressively getting closer, do ABS unit last.)

If fluid is fine, you may have a bad ABS sensor, ABS unit, solenoid, etc.

I was researching them for a vg35 build using the TT crank/oil pump and haven't heard anything bad, I called a machinist in LA who said he had balanced a few and they where fairly close to already balanced, so quality control can't be that bad.

Just make sure to have the flywheel and pressure plate balanced as an assembly. Also if you can find one, get an unsprung 6 puck clutch disc.

For the feel and capacity. after going with an unsprung clutch you will never go with a sprung clutch ever again. with a solid hub disk you don't get that sloppy, RPM's are dropping but the car isn't moving feeling when you are slipping it. It's you slip it, the car starts moving, no dead spot no need to try and guess how much RPM you need to keep it from stalling in traffic...etc I have yet to have a clutch in any car feel harsh to drive, minus the dump trucks and semi's.

How hard would it be to find a new radiator support, then remove the old one and install the new one.

I'm talking about that cross member that the hood latch brace bolts to at the bottom and what the radiator sits on. that entire piece is all mangled.

Cut them out and fabricate bolt in ones from scratch. You could also make the radiator tilt forward to make working on the motor easier.

I'd rather drill out the spotwelds and install a whole new crossmember. This one has all sorts of crap welded to it and cut off of it, that and its bent out of shape horribly.

I'm thinking of selling everything I've taken out of my Z right now (Engine ECU Turbos Transmission ect) Sense I'm going to buy an entire front clip. any ideas if I could get enough out of that stuff to put a fair dent in the cost of a front clip? I actually found the engine itself is probably ok, but I know one turbo is shot. the core of it anyways.

If you know what you're doing yes. I still might need those waste gate solenoids if I can't make the EGR solenoids work.

Oh sweet! When I can get my front clip I'll let you know so I can get a good clutch then!

For now my Z32 will be stored outside for winter while my rust prone 280ZX sleeps in the shop.

Idk what I'm gonna drive for winter

Not running? I think you could ask like 2000-2500 considering its all there. Its hard to say though. Ive seen complete, running, parts cars go in my area for 400-1000, non turbo though.
