    Carbon ZG arches

    I have some carbon arches which I bought from the Z store at the beginning of the year. Just got around to fitting them and they don’t extend far enough to the edge of my wheels so I’ve gone back to the arches I had fitted previously. 3 of the 4 arches haven’t been fitted and 1 has 2 holes...

    Diff questions

    Today I set about stripping apart all the suspension and drivetrain. Being it’s a 280z I assume it’s a R200 diff but can’t see any markings on it to indicate this. Whilst taking apart all the mountings and giving them a going over with a wire wheel I came across a bracket that doesn’t look...

    Wilwood brakes

    Just about to order a Wilwood brake kit from Silvermine motors. Before I do is there anyone else who’s been looking to order a set as it could be worth ordering at the same time to try and save a little on postage as it’s quite expensive!

    Tie rod ends

    Needing to buy some new tie rod ends but get given a right hand/right hand thread option, and a right hand/left hand thread option. Not sure which to choose, and I don’t have the steering rack with me. From what I’ve read it’ll be the right hand/left hand option, it’s a RHD rack from a 260Z

    Nice little present

    Chatting away with my customer whilst wiring his kitchen for him about a week ago. Turns out he used to deal in classic car parts, so naturally ended up talking about the Datsun. Returned today to start fitting out the kitchen and he gave me this poster which he’s had stored away for many years!
