Did the tach function OK originally with the original 280ZX distributor plus module?

Hi Christian. I’ll take that off you. PM me with your payment details . Cheers, Sam

Thanks Johnny. That’s me booked.😊

When you book via the club link does the display charge (£13 or whatever it is) include the driver and passenger or do you have to add that separately? Ta

Hi Christian. I could be up for that. I’ve not been since the old Oil Can days.

Cheers Ali👍

Thanks gents. Yes, it’s just an antifreeze change. What’s the OAT stuff that I shouldn’t be using?

Hi all. I need to replace my coolant and tried to remove the engine block drain plug. Even with a very long bar it doesn’t seem interested in coming out!. I guess I can’t apply any heat to it as it would burn the paint off, so what are my options? If I press on with the long breaker is there a...

Anybody got tickets to attend this? Not sure what's happening apart from a live auction, probably plenty of car stuff going off no doubt. I've been invited to display my Z due to its appearance on one of the programs with the 3 x Zs they were selling. Saves me the price of a ticket (although...

And in my ongoing quest to show the world the wonders of the Z cars…Hebden Bridge Classics Show at the weekend duly obliged with trophy. Only managed third in class this time, but some stiff opposition in a field of about 70 - all post war cars ‘66 - ‘77. Managed to seat the RS Escorts and Big...

I paid £30 plus postage for mine. Best plan is to look for one being broken for spares.

Straight in physically, the bolts holes all line up. Just a bit of a faff getting past the bottom of the glove box. Wiring wise…the Z motor has two wires coming out of it, one with a spade connector and one with a barrel connector. They join up to the loom wires. The Honda motor has an external...

I go to quite a lot of car shows in the summer, and I’m usually the only 240Z in attendance. I did one at a place called Stokesley recently and they had Derek Mathewson judging. Out of 500 or so cars he had to choose the three that he would most like to have in his auction. I wouldn’t argue with...

Also had a few weeks re-doing the footwells. The Z is an ex-California car and still carried its original undersea on the floors. I noticed a couple of cracks had appeared and I could see surface rust underneath, so off it all came. Quite a lot of cleaning up to do, but the floors are in really...

Replaced my heater blower motor with the Honda Civic conversion. Only took about half an hour (including a brew-stop) to complete. Well worth it - if you can find one. It took me a few weeks until I found an ad on EBay for someone breaking a car. 1988-1991 4th generation Civic if you are...
