Interesting, so that's a 225mm, I thought it would be 240mm?

Me too, just picked up a 240mm clutch for a 280Z.Interesting, so that's a 225mm, I thought it would be 240mm?
This. My 71' Fairlady ZL currently has a 240mm 280Z clutch in it, along with the matching flywheel. It's all about having the right clutch collar for the particular combination in use.They're interchangeable, as long as you have the matching clutch collar.
If you've got a 240mm friction surface flywheel, I *think* it will fit, but you might need to move the dowels and you'll need the shorter collar.So from the above, can I assume this will just go straight into my 280z? And if I wanted to fit a lighter flywheel at the same time, that's no problem? I just need the right collar?

I think 10/11 lbs would be too much both for driveability and safety. I don't think an engineering shop would do that much anyway.I've just been reading up on clutches and flywheels and it seems like only the 2+2s came with 240mm?
But the width of the flywheels seems to have increased over the S30 production time?
Btw, will a 10 or 11lb flywheel be ok with a stock L28? It seems like it will be from what I've read.

Yes, thats what I meant. I thought all 280zs had 240mm flywheels, but looks like I was wrong.Hi Jon, just wondering why you said 240mm here? As the item for sale is 225mm? Or did you just mean if my 280z happens to have a 240mm it should still fit?
I'm thinking of going for this 10.5lbs / 4.8kg flywheel from Kameari: https://greenline.jp/catalogue/item.php?category=drivetrain&subcat=Flywheels&brand=KAMEARI&series=&name=L4+Chromoly+Lightweight+Flywheel+(Large+Clutch+Type)&carcode=S30&fromlink=
Reckon that would be ok? It's much cheaper than anything I can find in the UK or US right now.

If it turns out you've got a 240 one, I've got a selection of collars I got from @Rob Gaskin so might have one to fit in there.
Clutch cover dowels are in different positions.I thought as long as you had a 240mm flywheel it did not matter as the clutch had to match the flywheel size?
Don't follow Huw. I thought 240mm plate and 240mm clutch would be OK or have I just read it wrong?Clutch cover dowels are in different positions.
