    Losing clutch fluid

    Also might be worth checking inside the car on the other side of the firewall, when the seal on my master cylinder went it dumped all its fluid into the footwell.

    A list of some of the sites I had bookmarked. Not sure which ones are still active / useful.

    !! Improving our club - your feedback is required and vital!!

    The classified section could also do with being incorporated into the forum better, even replacing the classifieds entirely with its own forum section would be better, sellers would actually be able to see and answer questions from potential buyers rather than having to wait for moderation etc.

    As someone who was recently a 'red' and is now a 'black', I have to agree with MikeB on how a large number of topics degenerate into thinly veiled insults. I don't particularly care whether an insult is disguised with fancy words or not, being a dick to other people should not be an acceptable...

    So you think running on is OK !!

    The head on the engine that was in my car when I got it had the same sort of damage to cylinder 6! Some of the valves in the other cylinders were beaten up something horrible too.

    DCOE cold start elimination

    So this is the next thing on my to-do list, trying to figure out the way to go with it. From what I've read some people blank off the back and install stiffer springs on the plungers, seems the easiest way to do it but I'm worried any backfire through the carbs will dislodge the retainers...

    280Z 2 seater Ebay

    Looks like a car in good shape on the face of it but the paint seems to have had a recent-looking blowover, and the right rear quarter looks a little odd; there appears to be an indent above the arch but the arch itself looks ok, or just the light? And if the paint is recent then a bit worrying...

    Another high end car auction

    My aim was not to single you out, that last paragraph was only intended to suggest a reason as to why people might react that way when, from your point of view, you're only trying to impart some knowledge. I did not intend to offend, but again, maybe it did not come across as it was supposed to...

    Another high end car auction

    Alan, I fear we're falling into the same old argument of perception, as it works both ways, does it not? I don't particularly think what I wrote is fighting for one side, at least that's not what I had in my head when I wrote it, but I do type in a train-of-thought kind of way which probably...

    NEC soup thread

    I think you've hit the nail on the head Steve, and it's the same thing Sean was alluding to in the other thread. Everyone has an interest in the cars for a different reason, some for performance engineering, some for the history, specifics and purity of the marque, the majority of people I...

    Another high end car auction

    What's going on now is exactly why I avoid social media; bitching and making sure to get in those below-the-belt punches, as dressed up as they may be. Yes, any condescension and/or belittling on here is 'perceived', but when a significant number of people start 'perceiving' it then I would...

    'zg' tribute....or evocation :-)

    Definitely not a 'recreation' then? Very nice, I like the custom interior.
