    Rawspeed tuning and rolling road

    I've just had my car tuned at Rawspeed in Plymouth, Devon. Graham Rawlings is a tuning specialist and drag racer. I took my 1973 240Z to him with problems at idle caused by an over-rich mixture. He diagnosed this as wear to the jets and needles. Rather than me trying to get Hitachi...

    Sunroof or not?

    My 240z has a glass sunroof, apparently fitted in the 1980s. I'm wondering what to do - fit a Webasto fabric one in its place or install another roof panel. I already have a complete roof I bought a while back, so this wouldn't be a problem. I'm worried about getting a good paint...

    Rear suspension tilt

    The rear suspension on my 1973 240Z sits lower on the right side than the left by about 5/8 inch. The springs are fairly new, I think (only had the car a year). They're the same length & diameter and the coils are the same size and number. I tried swapping them over and the right side was still...

    Datsun Grey rear panel

    Here's a pic of my car with the "correct" Datsun Grey paint added to the rear light panel. I found it on ebay and while it's an aerosol and sent from the U.S., it got here without falling foul of the usual restrictions on sending pressurized containers by air freight. See it here...

    LED dashboard bulbs

    I've found the standard bulbs in my 1973 240Z too dim, so bought a set of LED ones from bettercarlighting.co.uk. Much better. See the pic attached (sorry about the quality). I went for white ones though they are available in green if you want to keep the '70s vibe. Not that cheap at £40+ for a...

    Hi, I'm Jim Hepburn. I bought a 1973 240Z this week. It's in Red with black trim and in pretty good condition, I reckon. I only have one pic so far (the car packed in on the way home and finished its journey on an AA Relay truck!) so it hasn't been out the garage since. Great start...
