OK, not everyone may be familiar with the t'internet phenomenon of lolcats, but I thought this one was quite appropriate! Cheers, Rob

Hi All, I've got to get to the airport there for 8am (:mad: ) on Tuesday, I need to know how bad the roadworks on the M1 are at J10. I've got a couple of other routes one of which is affected by roadworks on the A1 and the other involves the A6 in to Luton which I've been recommended best to...

Sounds like an interesting one, so I would've thought it'd be on someones radar. http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&t=453466 Cheers, Rob

Hi all, My vast ignorance is coming to the fore (again ;)). Just popped a few more things up on t'bay and already have been stumped. Track rod ends: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170113102132 These have left and right hand threads on them. Question is will they fit...

Hi all, Due to an unfortunate change in circumstances I'm having to sell up all my goodies, some of you will have no doubt seen I've already put (and sold - thanks folks) lots of goodies in the classifieds, but to save Steve B's finger from wearing out approving loads more ads I've knocked up...

Hi all, I've got a set of springs for sale in the classifieds and have been asked what they'll fit. I had (the fronts only) on my '73 240Z so I know they're good for 240Zs, but will they fit 260Z and 2+2s? They're Mr.F. specials btw. Cheers, Rob

Was going though my cars history when I came across a few magazine articles, this one from 'Practical Classics' Sept '98 had a familiar looking motor! Cheers, Rob

Hi all, I've just pulled my L24 engine and will be selling it, just wondering what's the going rate for these in average nick. I'm leaving the carbs on (round tops), K&N panel filter (barely used worth over £50), dizzy, oil pump, fuel pump and slightly rusty clutch. It hasn't been run for a...

Well blimey, after driving through Oakham for Lord knows how many years, today as I approached the thought "will I see SKiddell this time?" popped in to my head. Low and behold, as I negotiated the silly little diversion that's going on there, there appeared a blue 240Z! The black bonnet threw...

A red 240/260 heading east on the M4 near Slough around 12:30 today. Typically I was going the other way so it was a very fleeting glimpse and not a hope of catching the reg number but nice to see one out on the roads amongst all the boring cars. Anyone on here? Cheers, Rob

Been meaning to ask for a while, i took my passenger seat out the other weekend. Had a laugh at the surface rust then carelessly prodded the join between rear of the floor pan and where it angles up to the boot floor. Hmmm, strangely squidgey. Bit of screwdriver action later and I'd pulled out a...

Had to take some pics of the Z today for the new insurance so off comes it's cover for the first time in probably a bit too long. Discover a nice layer of furriness on the sets - oh well they're scrap anyway - and a nice paddling pool in the passenger foot well - whoopee! So much for the...

Alright, restoring is a bit strong of a word for storing on axle stands but anyway!! ;) The insurance is due in a couple of weeks and AON have comeback with £180. Thing is the car is minus gearbox and rear suspension and on SORN, so isn't going to go anywhere anytime soon. Do insurers...

Looking for a bit of advice/ideas before approaching local builders - a vague attempt to prevent getting ripped off 'cos I'm a bit clueless about building stuff. Here's the problem, my house is a 1903 detached place on the edge of the fens, brrrrr, it's fecking chilly! Loft insulation is...

If anyone has ever wonder what the hell it's like inside a gearbox, well here's the answer. Thought I'd teach my box a lesson today as it a nasty, crunchy pile of scrap, so wipped of the front section to leave it feeling all nekkid! There's a few nice chunks missing from some of the teeth which...

Hi all, I'm looking for a dyno print out, or a list of hp/torque at a range of revs for a stock L24. Would be interested in other engine printouts as well. Want to play with CarTest 2000 in a bit more depth. Cheers, Rob

OK, I understand what ratios do, but I'm wondering how much of a difference they would make in the real world. Say we've got two boxes, ratios of box 1 are 3.5, 2.1, 1.4, 1, 0.75. Box 2 has ratios of 3, 1.85, 1.3, 1, 0.75. We'll stick a 3.9 diff on, 7000 rpm redline and 195/70R14 tyres. Assume...

Hi all, Started to clean up my gearbox, just to make it nicer to work with in general. Inside the bell housing is like a small Arabian countries oil output for the year, all nice and tar like as well. I've been battling away with some spray stuff that came with a brake paint kit, and some...

Hey all, I had a look at the 280ZX fuel tank I'm thinking of fitting (somehow). Never having been close to the inner workings of a fuel tank I thought I'd check it out, especially as it seems to have more pipes that the 240Z tank. First up is the baffling, is that it? Snail like bit of...
