Any good engineering shops that can convert the head to run on UL without additives on my L28e engine that anyone can recommend? Need to find a good price and someone who knows what they are doing when putting in new guides and exhaust seats and may have access to new exhaust valves. Thanks in...

If you give me an email address - I will send you a close up pic from my iPhone.

Late queen Anne, early Georgian old Church Rectory. Not the size of the house, but the cost of the tiles and some of the timbers and the bats I have to get moved out. Whole thing is a nightmare and the house insurance will not cover it. I have allowed £35k for the roof and c£5k for a...

Hi, The time has come to sell YER113M. My new house needs a new roof and the value of the car = the price of the roof! 1.8.73 rego date. 1st day of the M plate. https://www.pistonheads.com/features/ph-features-heroes/datsun-240z-ph-heroes/30264 It is as good as the day the full...

Due to unforeseen circumstances, she is up for sale. Confidently - I can say this is one of the best and well known 240Z's in the UK with full resto history. The price will be £37k. Over the past 3 years it is now brought back to 100% standard...

I have a touch up 25ml bottle of said colour that I had made up 2 yrs ago that I no longer need.

C110 gtr I wonder if they will take my 3 classics in PX (the 240Z, 240K GT and the PMC S57). My all time car that I want to own - but sadly I fear it will fetch silly money - say £100k. Looked at one in 2002 in Japan and they wanted £40k then

Hi, anyone know or has a performance cam for sale for a 1980 280zx engine. Rebuilding mine to go into the C210 Skyline but have decided to go for carbs now. I gave a spare set of carbs for my 240Z, so will use these after re jetting. Want to get some extra power out of the l28e lump. Nik.

So it failed once the car was cold again?

You should be able to move the actuator arm by hand and it should return smartly, if not, it's had it. My adjustable Forge one came from: http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/Saab_95_23T_and_93_Viggen_Adjustable_Actuator--product--56.html Pretty easy to fit, but deciding on what spring to use is...

Same thing happened to my Abbott 9-5 turbo. It turned out to be a failed boost valve - the one that has 3 rubber pipes to it. I have also had the actuator stick open, keeping the waste gate open, and eventually changed it for an adjustable one. Could be a boost pipe connection to the IC...

Managed to buy all the bits to make the cables myself. Really turned out well using steel rods and coiled outer cable. Just got loads of cable and s.steel rods left over to make loads of these up to the 4 various lengths. I had to buy a load to make up the one cable. Let me know if anyone...
