    Has anyone restored the seat runners?

    Oh bollocks. I've already stripped and primered one! Haha. I did think this colour is coming off very very easily while I was wire wheeling it! I'll see how this one turns out, and if it's a disaster I'll strip it all off and investigate that route. Thanks Rich.

    240Z steering wheel - For sale

    Nope, they're a kind of wood and resin composite I believe.

    Shush you! 😂 I bloody hope not!! You'll be laughing on the other side of your face when you see my shiny new seat runners!

    Has anyone restored the seat runners?

    No they're pretty rusty in places and paint is flaking off. I'm a bit of a perfectionist so I don't want to put anything back on the car that I haven't painted or powder coated!

    Just wondering if these can be disassembled to strip and paint?

    260Z - over revving on gear change

    I had the same thing with my 280z - turned out to be the return spring. It fell apart in my fingers when I eventually removed it.

    Rear panel colour

    My seat mounts are just a weird very dark brown all over. Maybe a 280z thing.

    Coolant Sensors

    I'd be surprised if its a different sensor on the L24 and L28. Maybe check somewhere like Rockauto and see if the same part comes up for it when you filter by 240z vs 280z? Also how many sensor openings does the stat housing have? As the 280z should have 4 plus an output on the back side, but...

    Damp garage

    So it's only when there's condensation on things that they'll rust? I was under the misconception that it was just if the air was humid enough, things will rust. But it has to actually condensate onto the surface? So the options are either heat the garage, or dumidify the garage? I guess then...

    Car cover

    I think I'm going to go for one of those thick, quilted covers because my garage is so tight.. I'm terrified I'm going to whack the newly painted car with something at some point when its finished.

    MZR for sale.

    Wow, £200k?! So they go up in value a fair bit then. Also, has the owner damaged the wing/seam by jacking it up?! Maybe they'll knock £180k off..

    '73 S30 Headlamps and Euro travel

    I got them from a little independent trader called ... "Amazon" - I think they're new! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Philips-575528-RacingVision-GT200-headlight/dp/B08KGH3JK8/ Ahh ok that sounds good! Are they solid state relays?

    '73 S30 Headlamps and Euro travel

    Thanks Martin. I ended up buying the ones without the side bulb at 4am when I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep 😂 Also did some witching hour bulb research and have pumped for the Phillips Racing Vision H4s as they've won recent tests. I imagine they're pretty much all the same these days...

    '73 S30 Headlamps and Euro travel

    Ok cool, I'll just buy them and see if they fit. Was it these you bought specifically?: https://www.classiccarleds.co.uk/products/genuine-lucas-r2-p45t-7-lub322-lub319-headlight-reflector-main-dipped-beam-e-marked-classic-car-kit-car And any recommendations for the H4 bulbs? Something like...
