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

    • Nope, still smaller rear, put on the 4inch exhaust and picked up power everywhere, ended up just shy of 800rwhp.   Didn't seem to be hitting any walls either, so perhaps could have pushed for more but all maybes and the fish that got away etc etc. 
    • Races cars don't care for VIN either...
    • This could be sold and shipped to the US for many gold pieces. RMS has no say in that. Ask various Western Sydney inhabitants how it works.
    • Ha ha ha, mine loves to spend, all on the dogs (they're our kids, and her spending would likely rival that of some people raising children!) the only benefit is, her spending is tax deductible as she runs a business in the dog industry 😛 The above all means she can spend race car budget quicker than I can. 😛 That and a lot of the things I want are very expensive, and I can be a bit "you want how much for that?!" And at other times overly impulsive. Or I start the w days of research, get to day 1.5 and get really annoyed that no one will advertise actual specifics and it's just marketting BS and I go "well, now I don't want anything to do with that now!" Also I hate paying lots of money for something I can make from $50 in materials. Then I get the shits halfway through making things and wonder why others who just buy parts have more fun... 😛  
    • Their 240Z with the RB26 would be a real nice thing to have in a garage to come out for an occasional weekend cruise It's such a cool thing in so many ways Sadly, we have a blue 240Z shell that I walk past every day, just sitting outside a shed at work, it has been slowly disintegrating and falling apart into the ground for the last few years, the owner cannot be found, and I am unable to "claim it" I've been told by work and the RMS, the rust in the body is excessive though, and it has had most of the salvageable stuff, like panels, trim and switch gear stripped off it over the last year or two, work keeps threatening to put it in one of our metal scrap bins, I wish they did though, as it makes Mark sad walking past it
