been waiting for someone to do this ahead of me...i have a 78 280z, a jdm k24 and a brand new cd009 i bought from Nissan..had all of it for about 3 years now just waiting for some time to get started, seeing you really helps a bunch...keep up the good work
Just watching you grease everything up and you overlooked the most important bit. At least, I didn't see you do it. You need to apply some grease to the front of the input shaft where it goes in the spigot bearing. If left dry, they can make a noise when the clutch is depressed. I never put grease on the splines though. You get dust in the grease and the clutch plate can stick. Still, you're doing a good job. Must be costing you a few bucks!
Can’t wait to see what is done for the motor mounts, doing a k24 swap myself but planning on keeping it NA in my 240z. I have some body work to do first before I get the motor installed
Dig the build man! If you don’t mind me asking. What did you end up paying for your z? I am looking to get a 240-280 z as well, but would like something in the condition as yours because I plan on doing a engine swap as well…

Thanks, soon enough!
Flex plate is the word you were looking for....the auto equivalent of a flywheel.

Thats going to be a dream build.
