    Ignition comes comes out when turned on

    Mine does the same. Try getting a new key cut first.

    Brake pads 260Z

    The way to tell is if you have alloys with gaps in them, look through at the caliper and see whether they have pins top & bottom to hold the pads. Otherwise you can see by taking the wheel off. There is another type that are held in the calipers slightly differently and are a different shape.

    Brake pads 260Z

    I got mine from EBC brake parts but RockAuto will probably be cheaper. There are 2 types for a 260z so be careful when ordering.

    240Z Insurance Values

    What you want to insure it for is immaterial in many cases cos most insurance companies will want an agreed valuation from either their own assessors or from the Club. That is what they will base any payout on.

    Daikou Nights @ Caffeine and Machine

    Huw and I tried to follow Wyn and his Missus in that car in a drive across South Wales & the Brecons a few years back. That car was a monster and sounded awesome especially in the tunnels at Monmouth. He was a nice guy too. I did wonder what happened to him and that car.

    Donington Historic Festival May 2024.

    I got a confirmation email with a booking reference on it. I looks like you have got as far as the application that you need to add to the basket. It's all a bit confusing and a right old faff to book but there are a couple of stages to go yet.
