Hey guys, just looking at buying a battery for the 280, as with any luck we should be putting her back on the road later this year and I'm trying to make sure everything is ready. Can anyone tell me what kind of battery I need? Cold Cranking Amps, pole size, pole orientation, etc. Any and all...

As per the title really, a zedder is in need of a ticket and is having trouble posting up, so I said I'd do it for him. Please pm me if you have a Japfest ticket for sale. Cheers Alex

Anyone else interested in this? A bit of a read through the thread, but they can make RHD sets and I for one would be very interested in them. Any interest here? http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/116421-dapper-lighting-version-2-projector-headlights/

As per the title really, need an exhaust manifold that will fit our 280zx and has a turbo flange on it. Doesn't have to be the original l28et manifold by any means, if someone has a custom one I'd be even happier. Anyone have anything? Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

As per the title really, the car is now away at the dippers and I've got 3 weeks to try and get everything I need, together and with me, ready to be installed when it comes back. One of the things I'm going to need to do, is the under-car fuel hard lines. I've found somewhere that supplies the...

Driving home from work a little early in my Range Rover, saw a J Reg, JDM, Red, TT - T Top (With tops out) cruising along between two trucks in what I these days call 'The truck lane'. Bloke driving I'd say 40s (or early 50s with an easy paper round) with brown hair. Sadly, I think I...

We finally managed to get the 300 on the Dyno at the weekend. 406bhp with 422 ft lbs of torque, at 14-15psi. Not a proper dyno run, with AFR and boost readouts etc. just a free-for-all dyno day with 3 basic power runs. They had trouble keeping it on the rollers, he said it kept slipping and he...

We're getting close to the stage where the 280 needs to go for it's acid bath and I'm looking to get it booked in ASAP. Anyone got any recommendations? So far, most people seem to be pointing to http://www.surfaceprocessing.co.uk/ and their work does look good. I notice they've done a couple of...

Got the boot hatch off tonight, removed the spoiler and unfortunately found this. I had previously thought there was just some bubbles that could probably be sorted on the hatch, but it would appear not, it's very rotten. Anyone got a spare?

So after weeks of waiting and spending lots of money, it looks like the engine build is all finally coming together. As some of you may have seen in another thread, the pistons and bearings finally turned up, so I took the pistons down to the engine shop this morning and was happy to find...

So the Z32 engine build continues to cost money, without really being under-way yet lol. Another £1k just spent with Z1 for a lightweight flywheel, uprated AMS exhaust manifolds, a full engine gasket kit with Cometic gaskets + the seals that the gasket kit is missing, with priority shipping to...

So Z1 emailed me today, to say that the ACL main bearings I ordered and they were expecting in at the tail end of last week, are stuck on back order now until December. I have two choices, OEM, or HX, anyone got any experience with HX? I've been told the OEM main bearings are more than good...

.....can tell you about your engine. Started taking apart my stock turbo today, ready for the rebuild kit arriving. I want to get it back together ASAP and sit it on my shelf, ready for the engine re-fit. As I was taking it apart, I couldn't help but notice, the compressor wheel was COVERED in...

So I've been researching turbo rebuilds today. Since the passenger turbo I pulled off my car had 360 thrust bearings and stepped seals, but has loads of play in the shaft and a stock one I had on my shelf has NO play, I've decided I'm going to rebuild that one with thrust bearings and stepped...

I keep finding things to do to my 300 whilst the engine is out. So far, I HAVE to replace the pistons, rings, rods and bearings, which also means I need a Cometic Head Gasket and I need to get my heads refurbished whilst they're off........problem is, I can't help thinking I should upgrade the...

Just tried googling for him and I can find loads of people praising him, as expected, but can find no way of contacting him. Does John still do ecu remapping? Anyone know how to get in touch with him? Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Mikey Bean came round last night for a drink and Rose was on the Morgans Spiced Rum, which no doubt helped her artistic tendencies and she spent the night doing some pumpkin art. The 300 and 280 on the pumpkin are our cars :D

Rose took this in the hotel car park, the morning of Japshow Finale @ Santa Pod, which was also the day after we picked up the 280zx from Mr.F. He's so proud and now doesn't know which Z he wants when he ........ wait for it ..........gets his driving licence :rofl: I haven't the heart to...

Amazing how mean and aggressive the normally sleek and refined z32 looks with no bumper on. Even more so with no wings and lights in, a bit Mad Max in fact.

As the title says, Erk! Rose is using the sunny day outside to take bits out of the 280zx and starting to find the rust we're going to have to repair lol Like I said, Erk! :unsure:
