    Floor pan holes

    You'll be grateful for those holes when your heater core springs a leak...

    bypass/block heater core

    OK, might just give that a go. Is it 16mm hose at both ends that I need?

    bypass/block heater core

    I have a coolant leak from somewhere under the dash, so presumably heater core or valve. Since I shouldn't need the heater over the summer, I'm planning to just block or bypass the system for now. There's a variety of views on US forums as to whether bypassing or blocking is better but the...

    carpets / trim

    I'm looking to change the carpets and trim on my (LHD) 280z. Two questions: will 240z/260z trim fit or do I need something specific for the 280z, and what suppliers do people recommend? My seat covers are in good shape so not looking to replace them.

    How wide is a 240z?

    I just use a piece of cardboard. Does the job & easy to come by!

    L28 fuel pump

    On the hunt for a new fuel pump for my stock L28 280z, seems to be a wide range of choices out there at massively differing prices so wondering what people are using and would (or would not) recommend.

    Garage recommendation in SE

    Yes, they’re not complicated cars & once the source of a problem’s been identified and given the right parts any competent mechanic should be able fix them. But I’d hope someone who’s had a lot of S30s come through their shop would be faster at identifying the source of a problem (because...

    Garage recommendation in SE

    I’m in NW London. Been experiencing a few issues in various areas (engine, brakes, lights) while I’ve managed to keep the car running by tinkering here and there I’m thinking it’s time an expert gave it a good look over.

    Garage recommendation in SE

    Interested in hearing what garages in and around London and the SE club members would recommend for those times you don’t have the equipment or inclination to fix up your S30. Fourways and MJP are the ones I’ve heard about, would be interested in hearing feedback at experiences there & any other...

    odd idling behaviour

    First off... good to see a few S30s among the 350 and 370Zs at Japfest yesterday! Now, to the question. A few days ago I noticed some strange idling behaviour in my 280z. At start up, the car idles fine (around 800rpm). But after driving a little it develops a taste for idling around 2000rpm -...

    280Z/Zx booster

    It’s a 280zx 15/16 master. Presumably installed when the last owner put in rear discs.

    280Z/Zx booster

    Got a slight leak in my brake booster on my ‘75 280z so replacement time. However I'm confused as to what brake booster I currently have in there. The MC bolt pattern doesn't match the original 280z booster, as it only has 2 horizontal bolts, but the housing doesn't match pictures I've seen for...

    Japfest Silverstone - 5th May 2019

    If we’re joining in with the 350zs at Japfest, why is there a “Zclub” option on the groups list when buying tickets? Who are they?

    Japfest

    Is there going to be a club stand at this year’s Japfest? How do I get involved?
