my brother in law wanted help with his TR as it spluttered and coughed as we pulled up in the field at the Goodwood revival - good job as he wouldn’t have made it to the members car park. So he’s decided to improve cooling which involves upgrading the weedy 28A alternator to 45A at the same...

BACKGROUND I lie in bed at night thinking of this stuff but then comes a moment of madness when I decide to do something about it, so here goes. (Having said that, this could end up being a very long experiment happening in glacial timescales as it will be an as and when effort - so please...

Have we seen / discussed this one? https://www.classicdriver.com/en/car/nissan/fairlady-z432/1971/995879

Yes I know, I said it! Given my recent rants you’d think I’m the anti-Christ of electric cars, but I just object to classics being converted. Something like this, is brilliant. And it has a half decent electric sound track too. Love that fan system.

Stole this from Church of L series. Too funny to not share! For all those Catalog Craving Silver Bullet Builders, FINALLY the Normally Aspirated “Stage System” Explained Fully: STAGE 1: this is the stock cam reground on a used billet but with different lash specs and a different base circle...

Have we seen / discussed this one before? Appears to be in good order all round, except the price maybe? Not sure I would feel comfortable spending £60k with an eBay seller with only 1 feedback though. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/285616267039

I’ve been thinking about experimenting with this for some time now and for some reason it’s really piqued my interest again! I have a torque hole at around 2.1-2.5k rpm range - which I’ve mostly dialled out with tuning the carbs / needle experiments - but it correlates with exhaust drone /...

Ladies, Gentlemen and @jonbills ! Let me get a few hours ahead of the curve and wish you all a very Merry Christmas! Hope you all have a wonderful, cheery time with family, friends and loved ones. Also hoping you’ve been good boys and girls and have some Datsun gifts from Z parts Santa! ;)...

My son just asked me how many Zs there are in the country. By that he meant S30s. So I added up all the licensed and SORN on how many left of 240, 260 and 260 2+2 to arrive at: 755 Then when I went to 280, I ended up with this view!! I wonder where they store the 280s or what has happened to...

There is no way this made it all the way out of the other side!!! It would assuredly have dissolved like a Disprin!!!!

These kept popping up on my Facebook feed so I thought to upload them here for interest / discussion / comment etc. My Japanese is super rusty these days, hence the google translate versions also added (I have yet to read them properly).

Having finished playing with the brakes, I decided to have a quick test drive / trash. Mid-thrash, putting a fast Audi into its place behind me, all of a sudden all the dash lights went dark and voltmeter showing below thee minimum mark (goes lower if engine not running). Headlights work but...

As I sat in the passenger seat to do a job, I realised just how much my driver’s seat is showing it’s age. I would say I’m sitting 3” or more lower in the car - which explains why the cloth is being pulled away from the vinyl. I’ve seen some different variations on seat fixes - e.g. the new...

Interesting read … https://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-japanesecars/punchier-nissan-z-nismo-revealed/47490

Is someone manufacturing rear hatch glass with heating elements for the S30 range? I know a company that does make them for MZR but that design is exclusive to them for obvious reasons. I've requested a couple of quotes for a toughened glass version with visible elements (When the quote...

Hello gang, Life and work got in the way of nearly all things fun and I've literally done less than 80 miles in the z in the last 2 years. I only saw the Z for the occasional warm it up and run it up the road type drive to make sure it didn't seize up. My apologies to those whose PMs remain...

… what would you choose? I’ve often wondered about this and I nearly always come back to a McLaren F1!!! I can’t begin to go into the reasons without filling a whole page of the forum. But it was simply so far ahead of its competitors in EVERY department! And for those other days when the F1...

These look like good value to me on eBay but I’m no expert on triples. Thought to share in case anyone is looking … https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/363591720969?

I was looking for these a few years ago and went with Konis when they were NLA - it seems my eBay search is still active ;) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/374410398787? Ps. Beware of Google when searching for shock absorber brands :eek:

Dropped my car off for MOT today and was greeted with a V12 E-Type and this beastie!! Didn’t realise there was more than just mine in the town! Would love to get in touch with the owner if on here.
