Lots of things in this post make me say "nope nope nope." I wouldn't gently caress with title issue cars, especially when they're $2k+ old moldy Datsuns. I think you can do better but I haven't checked the market on them recently. Can't help with importers but shouldn't be that hard to find some on the west coast. Any mild interest I've ever had has been limited to looking on ebay.

At least in 'Murica, the CD009s are <$1k. And you don't have to order another from Japan.  Maybe the other conversion parts make it less of a good idea though?I have a CD008 in my 04 G35 and it's a decent trans from a feel perspective at least. Wish 6th was a little taller though.

I would at least try and sell it for a couple hundred bucks to help fund your project. You generous goon.

What are your plans for the car? I don't get why you wouldn't put in a confirming cage.

Eek, cages in street cars are a touchy subject. I personally wouldn't but I'm not going to get into that. Why not just do a roll bar for a street car? They can bolt in and out usually and are probably less dangerous for a street car.

Isn't the service procedure on those pretty much "Step 1: pull engine"

Best of luck. Always loved the 300 but was never ballsy enough to work on one (better to live vicariously ). A guy on jalopnik has a few good articles on restoring his. If the rear main is leaking, then you're at least pulling the trans. That may not be too bad for a RWD car but with the other fuckery that you're finding it might make sense to just pull the whole powertrain at once and go through it.

Replacing the rear main seal? Might just be motor oil from that.

Eek, that groove on the crank is a bit worrying. Can't say I've seen that before. I would not try to smooth it or sand it though without talking to a machine shop and see what they suggest. And I would replace that clutch disk. That said, it's hard to tell quite how much meat there is left on the friction surface, but eye the difference between the rivet heads and that and make your decision. Doesn't look like a ton from the pictures. How does the flywheel look? Never trust a PO.
