I may be doing mine in a rebadged Audi if it’s raining :p

Has everyone booked their parade laps?

Thanks buddy you’re way too kind and a great question on the straps. In the past I found the jack difficult to manoeuvre under the car with my lift in the way + the diff tends to seesaw sideways on it. In one of the photos, you may spot that I used a normal small jack for some of the final few...

Thanks Ian. So true! I keep finding every excuse to take her out now ;)

Well spotted - I put that lot together in a hurry with a tonne of typos! 🤣 Thanks Rob. As you know much of the joy of ownership for me is in the tinkering / improving. It’s nice when it all finally comes together and stops being a grind.

And my absolute favourite meme of the year because it’s soooo bloomin on point!

3. MISCELLANEOUS Dropped in a new filter and fresh oil for the usual oil change. Rather a shame as the car has done less than 500 miles since the last change but it has been over 2 years so probably overdue - the car barely moved last year though. The catch tank is clearly doing it’s job. The...

2. THE COOLING The new aluminium radiator fitted last year before winter is working SO well that I can't get the engine hot enough. With the old radiator, I had to drill out my 160F thermostat to make it cool sufficiently in stop/start traffic, with both electric fans on too. Swiss cheese...

Time for some updates in sections. Suffice it to say the Z has become the best it’s EVER been in my ownership and a delight to drive!!!!! All the hard work is paying off. With the Koni adjustable strut inserts set to 1.5 turns and all the recent improvements, it’s turning into a REAL driver’s...

Do you have a link to any of those complaints? I was starting to be tempted by this type of thread: https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/68334-resurrected-classics-continues-to-impress-with-new-fenders-hatches-and-bumpers/ The trouble is KFV don't do whole panels as far as I can see...

I just looked at this again and shipping + 20% import duties (I assume it's 20%) - and you have a brand new rack for a shade over £700! I find this a very tempting proposition for faster steering with no 40+ year wear / slop - if only it wasn't the year of the Derrière for me. Maybe next year ;)...

This is awesome news! The price really isn't that bad given you are getting something brand new!!! The one thing I disagree with is their solid coupler. When I used one on mine, I found it way too harsh for long journeys and my hands felt like I had been holding a sander for an hour and a...

I don’t know if there is nothing special about a 1971 item but as they are out of stock at Rock Auto, you may find the 280zx one is the same. https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/nissan,1972,240z,2.4l+l6,1209169,electrical,starter+motor,4152 Or just search for a year closer to yours and check...

Absolutely loving these!! They really look the business!!

Congratulations!!! I bet that induction roar is something else!!! Put up a video if you can.

I was a staunch knight rider watcher! Michael was my hero and fashion role model 😁 So funny to watch now with the world being CGI-ed! I recall always wondering why planks of wood fell off the car when he used to “turbo boost”!

Yes he’s a very good man!!! Probably the same as before - Millers: https://www.holden.co.uk/p/differential_oil_85w140_gl5? That would be great - especially for others doing diff jobs this side of the pond! Can’t believe the postage was more than the shims!
