    Help with steering rack disassembly

    I'm stripping down the steering rack which I believe is from a 260z to give it a good clean and regreased but I'm stuck with the rack retainer adjustment screw. I've tried a variety of screwdrivers but I'm just starting to damage it and the tips are slipping out. Has anyone got any idea to...

    Engine, gearbox, suspension bits and others for sale

    Time to have a clear out as I seem to be hoarding parts just for the sake of it when I know I'm not going to be using them. All parts are from a 71 LHD 240z from california. All priced as collected but I can arrange postage for cost as required. If you require anymore pictures of specific items...

    Choosing a diff ratio

    I'm at the point where I'm looking for a diff and I think I've decided on the 3.5 R200 from a 350z. This would also give me the benefit of having two speed sensor rings for doing traction control and other bits with the ecu. I'm using a CD009 gearbox from a 370z. I know first gear is quite...

    Fresh Air Vents and Intercooler

    Question for the guys who have fitted intercoolers through the obvious holes in the radiator support panel. What have you done with the fresh air vents? Added different ducting to retain it or filled the cavity with rust preventative treatment and plugged it up? If you plug it up I suppose...

    Registering an import that's non-roadworthy

    I've Googled the hell out of this over the weekend and I'm sure it's going to involve a phone call to the dvla. Can you register an imported project car that's not currently non-roadworthy? And probably won't be for the next year or so. The car has been declared via NOVA and had the tax paid...

    If only the ad was real

    Just seen this on eBay. If only it was a legitimate advert. I'd be all over it. Looks like they've grabbed photos and descriptions from other adverts and trying to pass it as their own. All feedback is from buying (plus duplicates from the same company), only ever one picture per item and they...

    Talk to me about rust prevention after paint.

    So before I commit to buying a Z and restoring and modifying it I'm doing a massive amount of research and planning so I know what I'm letting myself in for. I'm wanting the car to end up as a daily driver and the main thing that has me worried is rust of all things. After the advice on here...

    Morning Everyone!

    Thought I'd introduce myself as I've been lurking these forums for the last month gathering info ready for the next project car.
