    Are they rear strut tower top covers re-purposed?

    I don't think you can hide them as such on an S30, they're either fitted or they're not, unless some sort of cover is available which I've never seen fitted on a car.

    Another Zed to scratch that itch

    Camber adjustment plates are usually an optional fitment with coilovers, bit over kill i guess for average road use so most wouldn't go to the time and expense of fitting them as well. Unless you mean adjustable top mounts integral with the top of the coilover rather than welded in.

    260Z - over revving on gear change

    It may also be the carbs are slightly out of balance, an airflow meter is your friend in that respect. Also check the vacuum hose between brake booster and inlet manifold.

    260Z - over revving on gear change

    I had a similar thing quite a few years ago now, when driving the revs would regularly stay slightly elevated at idle when stopped in traffic. If i blipped the throttle it often cleared it, the throttle linkage operation seemed fine to me but i dismantled it all anyway, cleaned, repainted and...

    '73 S30 Headlamps and Euro travel

    No because they are designed with LED in mind, the OEM look they have (it costs extra!) is purely aesthetic.

    '73 S30 Headlamps and Euro travel

    If you want the OEM look, go with the units above but stick with conventional Halogen bulbs, if you want LED go for something built specifically for that purpose, so more modern looking. Powerful LED bulbs don't play nice with the old style units because the beam focusing is all wrong and the...

    Best way to refurb sump pan?

    I'll take one so you can recoup some costs? I have a spare somewhere but if memory serves, it's a cork type!

    Damp garage

    Mine is 90's built, double length, half pitched roof, bare concrete floor, door at the end into garden, garage door is snug but not sealed, no insulation anywhere. It has lots in it, ironically no room for the car! and yes it can get rather cold, but i have never had any damp and nothing seems...
