    Choke setup

    For Dellorto's the choke lever on each carb require pushing away from the bulkhead, so I rigged up this temporary solution which allows for me to pull the choke on under the bonnet.

    Choke setup

    Has anybody successfully set up an in cabin choke system for triple Dellorto's? I find my car extremely difficult to start is cold weather but is much better if I put carbs on choke. Currently I'm having to do this from the engine bay so wondering if anybody has engineered a better solution?

    Registering a replacement engine

    Hello All, When I bought my 260z 2+2 it came with a loose engine that was not the original one, but anyway an L26 so I was happy with that, although it's always niggled me a bit that the V5 isn't updated. It would seem that I would need some kind of inspection report to satisfy the DVLA when...

    260z 2+2 wanted

    I think £16K will go a long way in getting something very nice but as @Farmer42 says, perhaps not the very best. I have an original UK RHD valued at +£20K

    Donington Historic Meet (1-3 May 2020)

    I would like to attend if I'm able. Do I simply need to buy tickets from the link @Huw shared with us or is there a different method if bringing my 260z 2+2?
