Gents, I don’t suppose anyone has an email address or similar for Ali AKA Smileyinside? I have some info on a recent research win I have had but I don’t think he’s getting PM. Cheers all. Matt

Stack of old ZClub mags. Free to a good home. You pay postage.

Gents, As you may have seen on an earlier post I was stripping down all my front suspension for a blast and coat. I had a real struggle getting the gland nuts off first but got that sorted by a local workshop. The first damper came straight out with no problem, the second is a different...

Hi Chaps, I have just stripped down my front suspension and I cannot get the nut undone to finally withdraw the damper cartridge. I'm talking about the 8 sided nut with 4 indents in the top and is approx 51mm across. Is there anyone near me who has a tool that will do the job. I have a...

Hello all, Been a long time since my last post for various reasons. Work is progressing once again on my 240Z and I am looking at other things that need to be done to avoid the car going back for this amount of work for many years to come! One of the first things on my list of required items...

Hello chaps, As some of you might already know, I have a nice set of triple Weber 40 DCOM carbs for my modified L24 engine. Ive got a large valve E88 head with a port and polish and a fairly exciting cam in it plus the DJ exhaust system. Just wondering if anyone thinks that I should go to...

How do I make this: Look like this: Where can it be done? Who can do it? Who WILL do it? lol What might it cost? Anyone here got these type of arches etc? Under bonnet and under skin plans are already in motion. Many thanks in advance. As it sits today, this is the...

I really like this racing body look. Just not sure I could live with the buyers/modders remorse. Well, I say that, but it not as though I'd be wrecking good original arches.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWXiRxxiqNM

Hello chaps, my car is some way off being back on the road but it doesn't stop me dreaming about the good times to come. I've been thinking about a change of colour for the old girl, I just think the silver makes it look a bit more tired than it is, if you know what I mean. I've seen a...

Hi guys, Thought I'd post this up here in case anyone fancies some water speed as well as tarmac! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221789934317?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 Really the ad should read " 200hp Mariner V6 Outboard, sold with free Boat and Trailer" Haha.

Hi Chaps, Is anybody here a member or have any involvement or info? I was looking into it the other day. I like the idea but not sure if it's for me. What do you think the benefits of it would/could be? The courses they run don't seem to be stupidly expensive and it might be fun. Matt

Has anybody got an Alcantara headlining in their Z? Do you like it? Do you have a picture you could share? If you don't have one, would you at a reasonable price? I like the racey look they give but not sure if it would suit the Z. I don't see why it wouldn't. I think it would go well with my...

Doesn't really make sense I know but my webers don't have the hole on the side, they're on top so all the T pieces I've found have the through pipe going the wrong way. Have I made any sense? I've had a beer you see. Hehe

Hi all, I'm in the very very early stages of planning a Gumball type event taking a loop (nowhere near determined yet) around Europe. Similar to the Gumball, it will include stays at some of the best 5* Hotels in Europe. Probably looking at an event length of around 4 days. We're...

Hi all, Just wanting to gauge opinion on this British manufacturer. It's a name that all petrol heads of my generation were introduced to as youngster through it being the name on certain mods that could be done to race cars in console games. The reputation across the whole, as I hear it...

Hi Chaps, So I was dismissed from my job today for, in my opinion, consistently voicing concerns over safety in the workshop and the safety and serviceability of the weapons that we/they manufacture. I was branded a trouble maker and promptly, my professional opinions were ignored. If it helps...

Hi all, My under tray has a massive crack in, no, that's not a euphemism. :unsure: It really is beyond repair so I'm wondering what the options are. If you have anything that is not a standard item, I'd really like to see a pic and hear what you think about it. Even a suggestion would be...

Hi all, I will soon be having my 240Z back! I'm now 380 miles away from the garage I have stored it in for the last two years and I just know that I'm NEVER going to get it back together again being so far away. I put out a similar thread about a year ago and Lee came to my rescue but I...

Hello chaps, For those that have sen my alternator refurb thread, you'll see that I have access to a Xylan coating. It is very tough, almost friction free, hard wearing, can flex fairly well without breaking, resist petrols oils and chemicals and is heat resistant up to 285ºC. It is cured at...

So, given that my car is in pieces and spread across the four corners of the Empire, I thought why not give things a bit of attention while they're apart. Starting with the Alternator. Not being any kind of expert, I consulted the oracle, Google, then made a start. My Alternator as you'll...
