    How to use and decode Nissan part numbers for hardware (fasteners, etc.)

    This is a “How To” thread based on a journey I’ve been undergoing recently as I begin organising my parts pile for the rebuild of my project car once exterior paint is done (I’ve already made a start underneath and inside the shell). You may find yourself, if doing a full or partial resto or...

    Japfest Silverstone April 7th 2024 - club stand booked

    Hi all, I’ve gone ahead and booked a club stand for us at Japfest Silverstone 2024. I’ve copied the info here. It would be great if we could build some momentum back up to put in a good showing at what is, after all, the biggest Japanese car event in Europe. I think it has tended to suffer due...

    20 years of Z ownership

    It occurred to me (after being asked how long I've owned the red Fairlady Z by people at Japfest last weekend) that in a couple of weeks' time I will have owned that car - and been a Z enthusiast - for 20 years. The car and my knowledge have evolved a lot since then - with that enthusiasm...

    Japfest Silverstone 23rd April 2023

    Hi all, I took it upon myself to book us a stand at what is still the biggest Japanese car event in Europe. It takes place the weekend before the Donington Historic Festival; in previous years the two have clashed, with the latter winning out for obvious reasons. This year, you get the...

    Look what I found in the wilds of San Diego…

    Well my San Diego phase of this year’s US trip took a turn for the worst that has inhibited my Z spotting/hunting - I went and caught COVID again at Disneyland. So spent a week of our 10 days down here staring at the walls of a bedroom in isolation. However today (Weds) I finally escaped and we...
