southbend clutch vs rps CLUTCH
Yes, Z1 are also listing the original "red" flywheel (which I have). SZ also make a modification to the friction disk. You would need to check with Z1 if they do/have the same.

southbend clutch vs rps CLUTCH
Well I'm using the RPS setup (now Specialtyz): http://specialtyz.com/shop/default/sz-sport-street-for-vg30dett-and-vq35s-242.html http://specialtyz.com/shop/default/sz-flywheel-vg30de-tt.html Smooth take up, heavier pedal feel than stock, but not so much as to be tiring. Flywheel has rebuildable facing.

cam cover area whirring noise
Was the cambelt change a 60K or 120K service? Normally idlers would be changed out at 120K, unless there was signs of wear. Your invoice from Zedworld should say what was supplied/changed.

Whilst you are sorting this out, can you not cover the cabin outside with a plastic sheet and tied/clipped to say the wheels?

Speciality Z stock internals/turbos claim 499rwhp
Why do you think Nissan let her down? At the time all Japanese manufacturers adhered to the "gentleman's agreement" of not going above 280bhp domestic and around 300bhp export.

do-luck power lines
Assuming we are talking about stock brakes and lines, then both front and rear calipers have short hard lines between the caliper and the flexible line. The connections of the flexible lines being female and therefore a replacement flexible line also having female connections. Library photos:

Guys, be careful on the road...
Very sorry to see your pride and joy end up like that. The main thing is that no one was hurt.

What is it with a lot of Z owners these days
When I first got the Zed, I had Toyo T1-S tyres fitted to the stock UK 8.5"/9.5" wheels. Although they were 225/50 and 245/45 16", the actual tread widths were almost the same. You can see in the photo how the rears looked stretched. I wasn't very impressed to say the least.

Not at all, each to their own. You mean "just blowing off air" don't you?

VG30DETT into one of these?
At least the "iconic" shape is still recognizable. Just check out the door handles too! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LTI-LONDON-TAXI-TX1-TX2-TX4-DRIVERS-SIDE-INTERIOR-DOOR-RELEASE-HANDLE-/251412188646

Old discussion but......
Not keen on the OEM UK plinth as a) I don't like full size (legal) number plates when displaying short registrations b) the overhang of a legal plate along the bottom of the plinth looks odd and c) the protrusion of the plinth on the bumper spoils the profile of the bumper. Each to their own of course, but I installed my plinth in the dustbin.

Me want nothing for it! If you don't end up using it, then let me have it back sometime.

Compact/Slim 4 channel amplifiers
I think the main problem you will have with locating a separate power amp up front is adequate cooling. The obvious space to tuck a small amp is behind the existing ICE unit on top of the transmission tunnel. However, it gets pretty warm in there (particularly on hot days) and there is no airflow. So the footwell areas might be a better starting point in my view to look for a mounting location. Another possible location is under the seats. That would also keep your wiring a reasonable distance from the existing wiring.
