Paul,

The best of XXEDDY clutches will cost you about $600/700.00 and they make them to handle 3 & 400 rwhp for 280ZXT's, but they are 240mm and to use that size you will need a 260Z 2 + 2 or 280ZX flywheel.

Everything else will be the same as R30.

But if your looking a fairly big HP at the wheels and your going to use one of the top range clutches, you might want to consider a VL Dunnydore slave cylinder, as they are 22mm (7/8) as opposed to the R30's 19mm (3/4)

More fluid, less pedal pressure on big pressure diaphrams?

Cheers, D

Sorry!

Tailshaft I'm not sure about, but if you have a dimension on the Auto one I'll measure the manual spare I have and we all will know in the future.

As for gearboxes, there is less hassles staying with R30 boxes than any others. L20ET boxes have lower 1st, 2nd & 3rd gears than L24E, but have a higher 5th, so I use L20ET boxes for now, but have L24E, RB20DET & a US spec BW T5 for future maybe.

Cheers, D

      I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.

      Wonder what the cause is, but here's hoping it's nothing too serious.

      People don't always want builds that are overly expensive, or have engineering/registration/insurance issues and head aches that come with them Whilst big dollar builds, and complicated stuff is interesting to watch, there is only a tiny % of people who would actually use this information, or have the spare finances to drop on said builds, whereas the buy a cheap(ish) cool car, and make it better, with a average budget, that the average Joe or Jane could achieve will always be a winner in my opinion

      Bit of a thread revival, you mentioned wanting a bit more top end before, do you regret not going with the 1.01?

      It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.
