I hope that tree is empty by Christmas!! Lol We do have a TIG rig. I could go ask our welding rep

Zx 5 speed rebuild
I think these are in order. Rotating clockwise I assume trying to MIG these back up won't work because they're hardened...

Zx 5 speed rebuild
No joy!! Small gear seems to match Middle gear would probably work, but the slider we have has 37 external teeth versus 36 and 36 Internal teeth versus 30. It also looks like it has a different construction...

Cam Sprocket Position
My first suspect would be tensioner. Either damaged, no or low oil flow. New cam bar may exacerbate an already marginal oil system?

Wanted...Factory Topy steel Wheels
I think a fair price for steel wheels with the correct build date? I would say over $100 a wheel. With tires add another $100 a wheel. If you could buy them shipped cross country for a $1000 or less than I would buy them. You are not very likely to find another set

DCOE's can have a cable running across the back side to control the choke operation but many people don't even hook them up

Just picked up a couple of new old stock 240Z fenders/wings
I agree, I would not chemical strip or even blast them. If you decide it needs to come off, then sand it off

Carb issue
You were correct earlier when you said you would need to pull the transmission. Once you do, make the search like Zed Head suggested for the threads that discuss clutch plate stacked heights. You will very likely need a new collar to work with the clutch you installed. Although there is the possibility that the clutch fork is damaged. We can advise further once we see pics of the fork, pivot and clutch setup

I might strip them if it is an uncatalyzed paint. If it doesn't come off with lacquer thinner, then I would do like Grannyknot suggested

Carb issue
If that's the clutch at rest it won't ever work properly

Fan clutch
Great BTW I'm gonna need diy circuits for dummies!
-
Carb issue
I agree, I think it will be a collar, pressure plate height problem
-
Fan clutch
I would be really interested in your fan controls and how to make one!
-
Carb issue
So with the pedal down and the clutch fork pressed like that, it still doesn't want to shift?
-
Carb issue
Are those pictures of the clutch fork with the clutch pedal NOT being pushed? If so the problem is inside the bellhousing

Too much fuel can make idle idle funky. Big injectors can make tuning difficult because the resolution is so poor on the low end. On a 350 I once tuned, I had to go to variable fuel pressure regulator to get it tuned properly
