Guys, it's not only the degradation of rubber and seals to worry about with E10, there's also acidity and potential corrosion, or so I'm told. Anyone using Millers or Lucas fuel conditioners yet? Can corrosion be prevented by simply draining over winter or coating the tank? Mine is already...

Hi Guys, just wondering what you use to compress your L28 valve springs with head on? See some stuff on eBay but good to get recommendations first I rounded off a 17mm valve locking nut or two when adjusting lash, so I'm going to compress springs, remove the rockers and replace a couple of...

Guys, I'm still trying to get hold of Z-Farm. They've got some parts from my car which were removed during my engine installation. The parts were supposed to arrive with the car in the transporter's Landy and he knew to expect them, but when he asked for them, he was told there was nothing...

Hi Guys, I would like to install an aftermarket oil pressure sensor for accurate reading during break-in because the standard one seems slow, is not graduated. Does anyone know the thread type? Suspect BSP not NPT according to some forums but it's all pretty inconclusive. If anyone knows...

Hi Guys, Z Farm are having difficulty setting up my Mallory distributor - the module may be fried, but also apparently they have a different plug sequence from the standard units. I can't find them in the Mallory instructions, does anyone happen to know what they should be? Picture showing...

Hi Guys said I'd report back on progress with my Datsun Spirit engine installation at Z Farm well it's taken a while, but the engine & re-worked suspension is now installed, and Z Farm tell me they'll have it on the rolling road shortly for a basic pre-run in setup... I've uploaded some...

Guys I've had my car at the ZFarm for some time but they've become (unusually) unresponsive. I've got a very valuable Z car awaiting a new engine installation there, plus new engine and suspension. No answer to emails,main number goes on voicemail within a couple of rings, and Duncan's...

Hi guys, what's the going price for an N42 head, and where can I find one in the UK from a reputable source? Cheers, Nick

Guys, here's an example of a complete cluster-****. I ordered a set of "original" 240z mirrors from www.new-datsun-parts.com and unfortunately the package bounced back to Canada. Looks like they used Parcelforce who wanted tax payment before release (normal enough) but didn't notify me the...

I'm looking looking for a complete set of "drop in" strut assemblies with springs and casings etc for my ground up restoration project (Steve's old car). They need to be adjustable in height with around 200lb springs for road fun, maybe slightly stiffer than stock (please suggest?), but not...

Hello, I'm restoring a 240z with a L28 engine which has a pair of 2" Jag Carbs (see pic). These are quite good with a very quick response, engine (apparently built by a Mr Wardle whom I've not met yet) revs like hell and is possibly flowed and balanced. I've no idea if the flywheel is...
