clutch question...
it will work. if you replace, just make sure you replace the clutch/pressure plate/throwout bearing/clutch collar as a set. EDIT - forgot to add: make sure the friction surfaces of your two flywheels match. for example, if your L24 has a 225mm flywheel and your L28 has a 240mm flywheel you will not be compatible

240Z starter on l28
ya, sounds like either a corroded/loose cable or a dead/dying battery to me... double check all of the cables; heck, disconnect all of them and give them a good scrub with some sandpaper. make sure your ground is solid and touching bare metal. it sounds like the starter isn't getting enough juice

Exhaust manifold plug size where EGR used to go?
IIRC it's a british pipe thread. not 100% sure though. your best bet is to find one slightly larger and tap it.

power for z's
sorry, wasn't trying to mess with you. just wasn't sure how your car was running well with an aftermarket cam in an EFI car.

what EMS are you doing? you tuned the ECU after putting the cam in, right?

Hemmings Article - Nissan 50th Anniversary in the US
hrm.... i think they forgot to add that Goatse designed the space shuttle. Although the first mention of Mr. G is vague enough to be correct, it's obvious that the author of this article simply skimmed through someone else's book.

Are my rockers and cam trashed?
you really should replace the rockers with that much wear.. looks like you weren't getting enough oil and/or were running too hot. is your cam internally oiling? if not, were you running a spray bar?

difference between 240 & 260 dash
or just take the cover. $40 isn't that much; you could easily sell it and make back your $

Is FI worth it
agreed both these guys are right; fuel injection is a lot more involved than simply swapping manifolds. you are going to have to factor in replacing the entire fuel system, even back to the tank (unless you build a surge tank). not only that, whether you go wth the stock electronics or an aftermarket EMS you are going to be running a lot of wires and hooking up sensors. if you are thinking about doing an EFI swap you should check out hybridz.org and go to the aftermarket EMS forum.

Buying new carbs, Ztherapry or....
IMHO, ZT carbies are the way to go. you said you aren't planning on racing, so triples would be a little overkill (not to mention a bit more fuel) only other option I could see would be triple 40s; but again, i think that might be overkill for your purposes

Horsepower Estimate
nice looking motor? is this on the standard L26 block? with that assumption, i would place the HP to be around 200 or so at the crank. that's a rough guestimate, though. the only real way to know is by shoving it on a dyno (rawr!)

What happened to Zhome.com????
