The wings mentioned in my earlier post are from Honeybourne. I didn't originally mention the name because I didn't want people to think I was slating them as I'm not. For the price, they're not bad if you want to use them for motorsport or something. I think most people on here though, like...

Thanks Mike. I have a set of original wings in excellent condition, it just feels a bit sacrilegious to cut them to fit flairs. I bought a set of FRP ones to sacrifice instead but the fit/finish on them isn't great. They'd be fine if it was a track car but I'm doing a nice restoration and I'm...

I bought loads of stuff from T3 and you're right, shipping and customs were horrendous. The worst bit was that when they sent the first order they forgot to put some of the parts in. I'd paid the duty for those parts because they were on the first invoice. When they sent the second parcel...

Does anyone know of anywhere in the UK that sells pattern front wings for a 240z? Thanks

I know how you feel Wyn. Probably one of the most time consuming and frustrating parts of my build has been waiting on parts, or correcting things that were badly made from supposedly high quality suppliers. Where possible now I try to avoid buying things and fabricate as much as possible...

Thanks for the responses. Ha ha, Wyn seems pretty clear on his position on this :D I wanted a carbon bonnet, but I think I'll just have to make one myself. The thieves at HMRC make the cost of importing one astronomical. Has anyone bought the Honeybourne Mouldings S30 front wings?

Anyone know if FRP Automotive is still going? The website seems to have been pulled, I can't get through on the phone or via Facebook. I believe it was run by Throttleton on here so wondered if anyone had any knowledge of whether or not he was still operating? Thanks

Initially I wanted to order some kit from T3 so spent a while emailing Gabriel who was actually really helpful. I ordered just under $5k USD worth of kit from T3 in June. The package arrived a few weeks later but they'd forgotten to include the new rear shafts I'd paid for. After this the...

I'm nearly there with my RHD conversion and went to fit the RHD wiper arm linkage last night. As you all probably know, the scuttle area already has the holes cut out for both LHD and RHD wipers. The problem which I somehow only just noticed is that on my LHD car, there are two supports...

Spindoctor, there are lots of good points above already but as I'm 50-60% through this build process myself I thought I'd give you a few comments. You say "what in your opion would be the best car for me to use for this build.", but this is something really only you can decide on. Do your...

No worries. I've found that there aren't always obvious answers readily available for some of the things I've been working through so I end up figuring stuff out myself. If I do then I try and share it on my build blog as I guess other people are must be in the same position. Thanks for the...

Both can be opened and repaired relatively easily. I actually did both not that long ago. I wrote a step by step guide with pictures on my blog in case anyone else found it useful. I've only got round to writing up how to rebuild the light stalk but will write up the indicators when I get a...

@Atomman The material can be anything really. T3 use T6 but I was hesitant to offer to supply parts to other people that weren't made of something really solid. T3 have obviously been selling 6061 hubs for ages with no problems though. I'm actually tempted to run the FEA on it just for my own...

These have been debunked quite a lot in the past. MCM did an actual back-to-back dyno test to demonstrate that they don't work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbGWgvJN1_8

I've been looking at front brake conversion solutions for my 240. I'm planning to use the T3 full rear end conversion which will allow me to use my rear 5-lug hubs and brakes from a Skyline. The problem is that T3 don't make a front end solution. A lot of the other kits I've seen for big...
