Auto to manual conversion
I see that Z1 have two TT lightweight flywheels - a MK1 and Mk2 version. Which one did you go for?

Auto to manual conversion
Is the problem here that the ring gear is machined into the flyweel rather than the seperate Nissan ring gear that say RPS use?

Upgrading injectors
You will need an adapter kit to mount the later (pintleless) injectors. JWT make the lowest profile C clamps which make it easier to remove/replace injectors once the upper manifold is in place. You can get the kit from US suppliers, eg: https://www.specialtyz.com/300zx/jwt-injector-adapter-kit.html

Auto to manual conversion
As the 06046 is sold as an OEM replacement clutch which will therefore work with a stock flywheel I can't see why it won't work with an aftermarket TT flywheel (lightweight or otherwise) that is machined to the same dimensional specifications as the stock TT flywheel. Provided both clutch and flywheel have been properly balanced seperately then they should work fine together.

Is this the model you bought (06046)? https://shop.exedyusa.com/exedy-oem/exedy-oem-replacement-clutch-kit/06046/i-125789.aspx

Why? what reason was given for needing a complete clutch and flywheel?

Antifreeze
Irrespective of the colour make sure the container states the antifreeze is Ethylene glycol (and not the Organic Acid Technology - OAT variety). The two types do not mix together and OAT should not be used in older engines which can be damaged by OAT (eg seals and gaskets).

Headlight glass gasket
Except that the gutter sealant is black (vs OEM grey) and will almost certainly show up through the glass. This might do the same job though: https://www.screwfix.com/p/no-nonsense-lead-sheet-sealant-grey-310ml/21594

You don't need to split the headlight. This is the method I used: http://www.zcar-owners.net/cgi-bin/diy_bbs/cbbs.cgi?mode=al2&namber=25&rev=&no=0 You can also clean the rear of the projector lens using the same technique.
