I have noticed an unfamiliar sound coming from my engine when idling which can be best described as sounding like a gas jet.The engine sounds like one piston is not firing so after removing and cleaning the spark plugs I turned my attention to the carbs. Someone suggested that I try using soap...

Any news on the 240 lower steering joints Mike? Geoff

Whilst driving down the motorway yesterday there was a loud clunk and I looked in the mirror to see one of my filter covers bouncing away, luckily not hitting anyone. Would anyone happen to have a spare lying around, its the oval type (see pic). Many thanks, Geoff

There is a 280zx 2+2 manual gearbox being sold locally, only one owner from new, 36K on the clock. Only problem is it hasn't been guaraged so a few rust patches that could do with being sorted out. Also has T roof. Can anyone give me a rough idea of value? Geoff

Following a problem with my brakes my local freindly mechanic had a look at the front disc pads and found that the ones fitted were too large for the disc. This had resulted in wear to the disc being limited to the circumference of the disc, with about 3/8 of an inch unworn. My car which is a...

Being one of the few that drive their Z all year round, imagine my dismay when the cold spell began and my heater decided to go from roasting hot to luke warm. I noticed when I first started using it that I could hear loose debris being pumped around the heater matrix, so I guess that has now...

How do you remove pictures from your gallery?

I have a 74 240 in which both the upper door frames have cracked and become separated in the rear upper corners. The passengers side has been welded at some point in the past and dosn't look very pretty. Can anyone tell me a) what these frames are made of and b) the best way to join them. This...

I recently aquired a very nice 240 which I have been told was rebuilt by someone in Southampton. It has a 280 engine with a high compression head and motorsport cam, triplle Delortos on a six branch manifold. It has a reasonable spread of power over the rev range, but when it hits about 5000 in...

Can anyone recommend a place where I can get a replacement exhaust for a modified 240, preferably near the south coast, I live near Portsmouth.

Can anyone assist me with possible causes for this problem: my 260z has 240 carbs on a six branch manifold. When the engine is reved high there is a fair bit of smoke coming from the exhaust, but I noticed when the throttle is released, as the revs go down some of this exhaust smoke comes out of...

There have been threads on this in the past but I thought I would bring the subject up to date. I have the standard wheels on my 260z and have been looking for a set of 195 x 70 x 14 H tyres. I tried the Micheldever Tyre Centre, but they could only offer relatively buget price makes for that...

I have just bought myself a 1973 240Z. Horray!! Problem is two days after I got it the windscreen wipers became intermittent and eventually died. The ammeter shows a little flicker when the switch is turned on and I can hear the relay click under the dash, so I guess its getting power. Anyone...

I am currently looking at a 240z up for sale that has been fitted with Cobra competition bucket seats. This would not be a problem were it not for the fact that I am 6' 5 ins tall. I could just about sqeeze into it for a test drive, but would be looking to replace them if I bought the car. I...

I have just noticed with all this hot weather the seal around the windscreen of my 78 260Z is crumbling away. Would a windscreen repairer be able to replace this or would I have to source the part from a z specialist?
