    I new..... Well not so new.....

    After over 20 years of owning a Z32 300ZX TT of which over half of it the car has been in bits as a "project" I've come to a time in my life where I have the time, space, but not so much money to continue fixing it. I have/had a UK Z32 manual; but the UK weather rotted most of the chassis and...

    Will there be a market for selling a windscreen

    Im currently in the middle of reshelling a car. My UK old car had a new windscreen put in and I want to transfer it to my "newer" Jap chassis because its newer and blue tint. Is there a demand for selling my Jap windscreen? Its in near perfect condition?

    Turbo rebuild Any one done it themselves?

    Im on a very tight budget and my turbos need a rebuild. I can't afford to buy new ones and to have them rebuilt professionally will probably cost me £700 anyway so I am thinking of doing it myself. Has any one tried this before?

    Turbo advice

    Thanks Rob, I need all the help I can get, I know alot about the Z32 engine but I know nothing about turbos. My turbos need replacing (becuase I pushed them too hard) and are probably the weak link in my engine. Do you have any recomendations of a good place to look for them? Stuart

    I had a problem with the head gasket, losting oil in to the water, that has been resolved by replacing the gasket., but there are still specs of oil in the water, but these are very small specs left after I sorted the gasket and did an engine flush. Should do another engine flush and drive it...

    Just when I thought it was over. Losing oil

    Does any one have any idea what could be causing this? People keep telling me valve seals, but the have been replaced. I did a compression test and all seems very good and even. I removed spakplugs and they are the perfect colour, like a light chocolate brown colour. I thought if I had...

    Just when I thought it was over. Losing oil

    I thought white smoke is water smoke. Black/blue is oil and grey is fuel. The thing is twice I have got the block, rebored, new pistons and rings and still that side of the engine smoked. I have have done a full PCV replacement twice and still just the driver side smoked. I must have...
