Thanks what are you building?

Don't quote me cos I may be incorrect, (I'm sure someone will chime in if I am) but the Z series clutch may be interchangable with the L series ones. AFAIK they use the same block and crank as an L series. Hayden (brwnwgn) may know for sure as I know he had a Z block with an L head in a rally car.
There should be something available for an L series. Maybe try ringing Tony at clutch systems NZ limted in Hazeldean road in Christchurch? Hes a very helpful bloke to deal with. He should know about interchangabilty etc. Very good to deal with too.

Any pics of your engine bays with z18et in them wood b very helpful?

Yeah, datsunboy helped me wire my Z18ET up, and after seeing it done it isn't overly complicated. I ended up stripping the entire loom apart to try and find a few faults and it is pretty simple once you have it apart. I can take some photos of particular parts if you would like them explained. You pretty much wire some stuff up in the relay/battery area (power, earth, etc), and wire up a relay for your fuel pump, and you are away laughing.

I had trouble finding a clutch as well. It took a couple of goes getting one that fit as APPCO didn't list anything for Z18ET. Ended up getting it sent to a place in Auckland (can't remember the name just now) and sent down a new one which was perfect
I'll try and remember the name of the place it went to....
