Just a couple of questions and a few parts needed for my Datsun 260Z. If anyone can advise or point me in the right direction - particularly for parts - I'd really appreciate it. So, one of my front indicators managed to fall off the other day, and whilst the car looks 10x better without them...

If any of you are interested (probably not!), I recently set up an Instagram and YouTube channel for my car related antics and trips... Would be great if you could follow or subscribe if you like the videos, I'd appreciate it! Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oneguy_cars/ YouTube...

So, we've found the problem... Wasn't a distributor problem - well I don't think so anyway, yet - but it was a problem with the head! One of the valve seats had slipped (must have been under some heat or something) and so a whole cylinder wasn't working... LUCKILY, I've managed to avoid any real...

Any advice when purchasing? Is there a partiuclar brand or model that's better than others? I'm not sure this will solve my engine problems but replacing it can't hurt because my current distributor is pretty well used now... Gah, need to get this car ready for Le Mans... running out of time!

After replacing the exhaust manifold, exhaust and refurbing the carbs, i've now been gifted with a squeaking noise coming from the engine bay... I have a feeling it's an air leak but any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also, the engine is revving rather slowly when idling, sounds like it's...

Just wanted a bit of advice really: if I were to buy a fan to cool my engine, let's say Kenlowe 9" universal fit, would it work/fit? Anyone had any experience of fitting an aftermarket new fan to an engine bay? many thanks in advance guys

So I've decided to get the Datsun 260z out of the garage and take it to Le Mans - rather than the 350. Just wondered if anyone else is going this year? Mine hasn't seen the light of day for about 6 months (sadly) but i'm going to fix a few things and it WILL come along with me this July...

Was on the way back from work the other day and spotted this pretty cool looking 300zx outside a garage. It has under 60k miles on it which sounds pretty damn amazing to me?! It looks pretty tidy to me! What do you guys think? Anyway, i grabbed a telephone number off the owner if anyone...

Driving the Datsun 260z as a daily for 4 months (no matter how fun it was at the start) began to ruin the car for me as I spent too much time in it (would you believe), and so i went out and bought myself a black 350z! The Datsun is still insured and taxed at the moment, as is running pretty...

My distributor vacuum advance makes a clicking noise, until I hold the pipe line that goes from carb no.1 to the distributor, it's also pulsing - anyone know if this should happen, and if not, a cure?!

Wild, oscillating idle sometimes even stalling the engine. It literally idles at 1500rpm but then if I'm in traffic or just going slowly - stop starting - the revs go so low that sometimes it can stall itself -- any ideas?! i was thinking it could be an air leak, or something along those lines...

Anyone know where i could get a voltage regulator? I have been sending parts off to be reconditioned instead of purchasing new parts, but i'd like to buy it this week (if possible) and not have to wait...! I'm being impatient, i know. Many thanks in advance, Guy p.s. it's for a datsun 260z, 1974

Hi All, Just thought I'd put up a few photos of my Datsun (wanted to see what you guys thought, and to get some tips / ideas on how to improve it!) Few questions too: -Where can i get a new front grille and can you get a variety of different styles or just the standard? -Is there any way...

Hi all, Just wondered if, in your opinions, it is worth getting the rear drum brakes of my 260z converted to discs? is this an expensive job too? Many thanks, Guy

I am awful at working this stuff out, so I'd really appreciate some help. Has anyone ever fit 9J wheels on their standard datsun S30? Would i be able to lower it a tad if i did? Would i need to stretch the tyre to fit it in the arches? i'm a visual kinda person and would love to see some...

I have a '74 260z; just wondered how easy it would be to get roughly 200bhp out of it? I already have triple dellorto carbs and a janspeed exhaust system... I don't know how much in the way of bhp it is producing right now but it doesn't pull that great. Any suggestions? And with Triple...

I have been playing around with my window for ages and it just won't wind up like it used to! Ever since the glass slipped/dropped, I haven't been able to fix it. How long is that? 3 months now? Anyway, we have taken the window out, chrome frame out, door card off and the bits which, supposedly...

Apologies, I realise that this may be a bit of a pointless thread as I feel the answer I will get is either: 'go and get a quote', or 'it depends on who's doing the job'. Anyway, I am just curious as to how much it will cost to get a full body respray on my 260z (same colour, minor rust). Have...

Hi guys, Just wondered how I would go about fixing the chrome-like strip around the drivers side window pane? I had some trouble with the window slipping last night (unable to wind it up or down etc) and must have accidently fit the window at the wrong angle, therefore when I wound the window...
