when i imported my 240z i was told by the test centre to get rid of the red lights as it was a fail, i know there are plenty of yank cars with red indicators on and i told them this, and they said because its a datsun its not an american car so should not have red indicators on, it made sense of...

a bit curious why he has every angle except the rear, and the rear bumper is missing?, id also like to see some of the underneath, and other areas

forgot to mention on an import you have to MOT the car before you can register the car, on the first mot they state the chassis number instead of the registration number, still if it comes with an mot and registered for around £6000 a bloody good buy for someone,

it could be a good buy, say it sells for £6000 and it is rust free, i would be very surprised , but if it wants spraying thats a total strip down and £££££ later, not to mention all the little things that tend to be lost, like he says will come with 12 months MOT if it has yank lights on these...

i honestly cannot understand where they get there prices from, if it takes a month to prep and spray, materials wise £400 tops, unless you are having a really expensive paint, undercoat is cheap as is blocker and high build primer, so they are wanting close to around £3000 + for a months work...

sorry to hear of this it grieves me when people do this, thats why i always do it myself that way i cannot get ripped of, but not every one has the time or skill to do it them selves.

Hello guys im presently looking at upgrading my front brakes and been reading the thread with interrest, ive looked on ebay peugeot 505 gti vented front discs are in abundance priced around £60, some one mentioned machining costs? what machining is required, and what year range rover caliper is...

as of yet rob ive not ruled out anything, i havent been above 70 since to see if the vibration has gone, but it does feel better at lower speeds, if it still vibrates i think it will be a drive line angle problem, because it was fine before i stripped it down to move the engine further back and...

in one respect yes, at least now i know the dif and half shafts are handling the torque, unfortunately it now points to the gearbox and sorting that could be expensive, it may be cheaper long term to source a stronger box??? unless i can some how strenthen the internals with upgraded parts, if i...

Right removed the diff complete, stripped it all down found no wear on any thing, so rebuilt it thing is ive got a choice as to which dif i fit i have a R200 3.54 and R200 3.7 which would be best for my car with the engine gearbox i have in it, that being a 5.4 litre v8 with a 5 speed borg...

i read on torque z that a common failure of the R200 are the spider gears could it be this that is failing, and are my symptoms the same, i thought R200 were supposed to be tough taking a lot of hammer??
