sorry, now sold (actually I gave it away for free to the first person that said he could come and take it) I offered it to you guys on here first a while back tho ;)

if anyone else cares, my 280ZX is on ebay currently also It started on £1 and has NO RESERVE :eek: :)

thats good, I always use super etc anyway theres no LRP left anywhere near me anyway. not that I ever used it. stupid stuff. cheers

so wait, I am a bit fuzzy. I have N42 head on 1979 280ZX so is it a late N42 head and thus unleaded as per Mr F? or are all N42 heads leaded as per Mr Brook? or everything after 1977 unleaded as per Mr Brook also? very confused now :rolleyes:

thats the answer I was hoping for! :) I'm a bit skint at the mo though. I'll keep it in mind. thanks.

filler neck is rusty inside. think either the cap has been left off or its not sealed properly. anyway, best not to have rust on the inside of the filler neck. dont think fuel filer and injectors like it. Is the filler neck separate to the tank and if so how is it attached to tank? I...

sounds like fun :) though I doubt he would want mine. its in worse condition than that Toyota pick-up after it fell off the block of flats ;) besides, the stig wouldnt be able to listen to any rock ballasd in it cos the stereo doesnt work :rolleyes:

My 280zx just failed it MOT. its totally standard 2+2 if Mr Clarkson or the stig wanna pay for a bit of welding to get it through the MOT they can do what they like with my car:D

I know what your saying Mr F, but looking at the guide that the link goes to on how to do it, Ive got no chance at all of doing it myself. So its either a secondhand complete unit or pay a garage a stupidly high fee to do it for me. or get someone to sell me a secondhand unit fitted with...

cheers for that. gonna print it all out and take a look. A second hand decent complete unit may be better, what with this weather I wanna do it quick as poss!! I'll have a better look at the weekend. Ta.

Just had car MOT'd. failed (predictably! :) ) needs a couple of bits of welding. however his main beef was that the rear offside wheel rocks around, I figured bearings had gone. but its too rainy for me to sort it. (no garage) The MOT guy was really helpful (note sarcasm) he said...

ahh ok no worries then :rolleyes: I have tons of mini headlights sat around, was gonna say you could of had a couple.

... its leaking like a leaky thing. its like driving a swimming pool. I suppose if its gonna leak its gonna be this summer, with the really heavy rain the only place I can find is that the door seals are old and perished and its running down the posts by the seatbelt and into the...

I have 2 minis. Lights for a pre '87 mini are same as post '87 mini. Only difference is earlier have sealed beam units and later have separate bulbs. they both mount up the same and theres no difference really in shape or mounting both wiring is adaptable between the two. On my...

Re: Breaking a 280ZX sometimes you just gotta let go :p

ahhh yes, I had seen 'z farm' piece on your car in 'retro cars' magazine. Part of my inspiration to buy! thanks! Yeah I noticed from the article that you were in N Yorks, a very nice run from me. good roads. I will definately be giving you a call at some point. Front spoiler sounds good...

no worries. It was a generalisation :D

haha. A decent car is decent no matter what the badge is. ford isnt the enemy :p I think we all know the 'enemy'. the 1.0 nova 'trip' with copiuos amounts of plastic to weigh down its already unimpressive 0-60 time of 30 seconds. Not that he ever does 0-60, unless its down a heavily...

Wow. Never realised there was all this excitement to be had. Fun debating point then eh? Knowing nothing about either cars, the zx looks a pretty good machine, on paper at least – though a bit flabby and restricted. Easily fixed :p I'll reserve judgement on the rust – but being well into...
