For those that can adjust their suspension geometry, I’m wondering what settings you’ve gone for on a lowered road biased car. I’ve just finished making a jig for mounting to the wheel rim so I can to measure camber n caster with a proper gauge, also made a couple of turning plates and bought...

Before I try a fresh bleed on my brakes this weekend I thought I’d google the symptoms, ie fairly long pedal travel and then they come on real strong with too little modulation. There’s a few posts online about the ‘Reaction Disc’ in the servo having dropped off the end of the actuating rod...

After being confused by this for years i thought I’d ask the question.... How do I use the Search? I just can’t get it to search through the forums, I’m sure this will make a difference somehow but I’m using an iPhone.

After a couple of comments about the excessively low ride height on my 260z which I agree with I wondered what heights others were running. I’ve not set the car up yet other than having wound the BCs down to about 10mm off fully lowered. The wheels are 16” with 205/55 tyres. Measuring from...

Can anyone post up a couple of pics of the front bumper wrapping around the headlight bucket. I’ve got the bumper mounted on the front brackets but the sides / wrap arounds are moving away from the headlight bucket towards the rear tips of the bumper. The bumper may have ‘relaxed’ when i...

Must be a few of you that have come up against this.... I need a live for the ECU that doesn’t power down during cranking. It seems all feeds from the ign key cut whilst the key is turned to the cranking pos’n. I could run a separate feed from the battery but that seems to miss the point of...

I’m aware that this subject had been posted before but thought it warranted a 2nd thread. I’ve been looking at operation of the tacho from an ECU, the standard 240/260 current sensing tacho will not function from an ECU, so I’d got in touch with Chris @Spiyda Ltd as they crop up when you...

I’m currently fitting a Z-Story exhaust but my car doesn’t have the brackets to pick up the mount local to the diff. I have the 2 hangers either side of the rear most silencer but nothing else. Can anyone provide a photo of the hanger local to the diff, I can’t see what I’m supposed to fix to...

I’ve found what looks to be a reasonable airbox for triples or TBs from efi hardware in Oz. They do a version adapted for TBs that clears the fuel rail neatly, filters also available with them. Not cheap at £280 but I can’t find anything decent in the uk at the right price. I haven’t had a...

I’m installing triple 45 TBs on my new engine build. I’ve got a Kameari inlet manifold that only has one tap-in for the brake vacuum, although there are castings that can be drilled on 3 of the other runners. There is no common link / balance line between the runners at present. I’m just...

I’m looking for a clutch that will suit my hopefully one day upgraded motor. I would expect 260bhp ish flywheel and I’m installing a lightened 225mm flywheel (I’ve already got this). Does anyone have recommendations for a clutch that will take the torque / power but still remains easy /...

Is everyone using these, or have you noticed water getting in if you don’t? They seem really expensive for what they are, over £100 by the time you’ve shipped and paid tax!! I believe not fitted to later 280z there must be some reason for that. I just tried making one but it wasn’t the best...

Hopefully someone can help with this... The fusible link that runs the headlights on the 240z/260z is generally a 50amp link, does this link feed anything else? I can tell it feeds the rear lights, but it doesn’t feed the front sidelights. I don’t have enough of the car assembled to get the full...

I’m about to install my windscreen, when does the chrome trim go in? The Wick Humble restoration guide suggests after installation of the glass but I’m thinking I’ve seen threads that suggest otherwise. PS if anyone has some undamaged pieces drop me a PM, I’d be really grateful!

I’m currently fitting a rear disc conversion as shown in the attached image using 200sx callipers. Everything fits the hub fine, but the shortened suspension on the BC coilovers (about 50mm drop) is moving the hub upwards and the disc caliper and handbrake cable support arm into contact with...

I’ve not taken a pic of the location where the door open (courtesy light switch) fits in the pillar before I stripped the car. There’s another couple of holes above and below the switch hole where it looks like a rubber cover would clip into place. My car is a late 260z, any pics I can find on...

I’m about to start cutting up a spare column in an attempt to fit Corsa C EPS. It looks really tight under the dash and hoping it all together looks like a challenge! Has anyone successfully done one and can you share any pics of the motor install. Which controller have you used, there seems...

I’ll soon be running the fuel lines to feed the ITBs on the new motor. I’m thinking of running the hard fuel lines (feed and return both 3/8”) from the tunnel and then up along the bulkhead over the bellhousing, similar to the brake line route. Running a flexy from the fuel supply line to the...

Just spotted this on FB... Genuine opportunity to own a tv show car! https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2623407974410464/

I'm nearing the point of commencing rebuild on my L28 motor and wondering what people have done with regards to cam timing. The block is slightly skimmed to clean the face up and the head will be getting an amount of skim to enable the higher compression, aiming for 10.8/1 on an N42 head. I'm...
