Recmmondation for new clutch
are you looking for stock replacement or performance? i've got (a lovely bunch of coconuts....) a centerforce II that i am putting in as soon as i get what i need to install my R200 (along with the new tranny), but if you're looking for stock replacement i don't have any recommendations.

Anyone have a set of these Spinners?
the fact that they are screw-on is a dead giveaway as to why the passenger side is falling off! as you accelerate forward, the driver's side spinners are getting tighter. the exact opposite is true for the passenger side. to prevent this from happening again, use something like a thread locker to keep them on the wheels. my $0.02

wikipedia errors
does anyone else here visit wikipedia? if you do, do you edit things when you find errors? i do, and it seems that the article about the 240Z ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/240Z ) usually contains several factual errors at any given time. it seems as though every few months i have to delete a reference to Albrecht van Goetz (see discussion for more info). Also, the HP figures, although correct according to the VIN/engine plate, are misrepresented (since allegedly there was a shift in how it was being reported). the 432/432R sections are greatly stripped down, and other spots as well.. any takers? -Jason EDIT - it should also be noted that the "Fairlady Z" is practically ignored when it comes to statistics, as well.

Performance Camshafts?
picked up the cam from ebay; waitied til i got a new head to install. buuuut.... picked up a head with a stage IV cam/schnieder valvetrain preinstalled, so the cam is just sitting there now EDIT- i should also add that it's a reground stock by american cams, so high zinc oil isn't as necessary. and it's a solid cam

Performance Camshafts?
more lift+duration = higher flow = higher HP potential. i have a stage 2.5 cam collecting surface rust if you're interested.....

temp sensor
^if the gauge is calibrated correctly, the middle should be 185*, so using that logic, that reading is closer to 195-200

welcome! and yes, it sounds like your carbies are all gunked up. i don't know of a website that has an exploded view of flattops; i know that there are a few people on this site that have had success in rebuilding those carbs, though. perhaps they will chime in....
