    take your time...

     

    be patient...

     

    dont rush into boost..

     

    unless you enjoy changing engines out every week... i would highly advise going wideband with the stock efi..

     

    youve been fine with 10psi and below.. why do you need more this very minute untill you can afford wideband?

     

    buy a Innovate Wideband with guage for $200... and ur done

    Show me your front end!!!

    new stock clutch slips

    umm.. 240z's 260's and 280z's and 280zx's use the SAME clutch.. as long as its a 225mm flywheel...

     

    the 2+2 260z 280z and the 280zx 2+2 and the 280zx TURBO used a 240mm flywheel so the clutch and pressure plate is different

     

     

    as for the throwout bearing collar.. same thing.. the 2+2 and turbo requires a shorter collar.. the standard 225mm uses the same longer collar

    Comparison photo showing two Nissan clutch fork types used on 1970-1983 Z & ZX car models with stock Type A and Type B transmissions, with the exception of the ZX turbo models. Each type of fork was matched to a unique design of slave cylinder and push rod. Upper fork used a non adjustable design and lower used a threaded, adjustable push rod with threaded adjuster end and lock nut. symbol indicates attachment point for external return spring used with adjustable type of slave cylinder

     

    OK, so what components to use? There is more to it than I can write now, but John Vanek, of the Z Doctor, told me that the best guideline for coupes (not 2+2 cars) is to purchase all matched Nissan clutch components (pressure plate & disk) for either a 4 or 5 speed and use the original T/O collar, bearing, fork, slave that originally came with the 4 or 5 speed you are swapping in. The curse begins when you mix up the hdwe from 2 different types of trannies you have kicking around your garage. Hopefully, after I get my article and comparison photos up with attached measurements, Z owners will be able to use it to figure out what hwde in hand originally fit what?

     

     

    Since I first published my first collar comparison photo I have received several interesting comments from the experience of others that relates to a few lesser known swap issues, such as the fork pivot ball height adjustment and aftermarket T/O bearing variable specs and master cylinder bore size, that also may lead to clutch problems down the road. I'll try to include their advice into the article as time goes on. If any of you wish to send me comments or suggestions as to what other topics and specs to include, feel free to do so.
