Whilst sorting out a rear r200 cover I decided to take the cover off my spare diff. Can't find any markings on the ring other than some writing that says 13.080+1 I've counted the turns of the axle flanges to the input shaft flange and it works out about 3.9... any other way of identifying...

So I picked up my 2 diffs from my mates garage and when I got them back I realised that they have different input flanges. The squared flange is a 3.54 from my old 1978 280z and the circular one is from my 1978 260z. They are both r200's and after doing the old spin the one flange and count the...

So chatting with the father about Z's and he told me that when my grandad used to own a garage way back in the day, they restored and worked on a bright red 240z called 'David the Datsun'. Now I'm not sure if they nicknamed it that but that's what he remembers it as. He said he will always...

Admin please feel free to delete this if not allowed... So I know of a RHD conversion package and wondering what you guys think of a realistic price. Dashboard (in need of resto), steering rack, steering column, pedal box with accelerator, blower assy, wiper linkages, scuttle panel (damaged...

Is there any way to check the history of an old Z? I'm guessing the usual way of car text check may not work given its age. I've just managed to land a genuine RHD 260z rolling shell which will replace my frankenZtein 280z shell. (Anyone want a cheap 280z shell?) The shell has been dry stored in...

Hey all, Still on the look out for a shell. Had one lined up for viewing post lockdown.. but unfortunately the seller has decided to keep the car and it's no longer for sale. Ideally looking for it to be a roller and as bare/stripped as possible. Many thanks Liam

As per title. This came with my car when I purchased it and I absolutely no use for it as I'm going RHD in my 280z. It has just been sitting in the unit gathering dust. I'm not sure if it's a dash cap or whatever but it is very thick fibreglass so its leading me to believe it's a replacement...

Anyone got a source? I've found the FRP ones on RHDJapan but got a feeling that I may have to use a rear cut (so if anyone has a RH Rear let me know...) I will post some images of my car post media blasting when I update my build thread... but let's just say for now... it's a WTF moment...

**PLEASE BEAR WITH ME, I'M CURRENTLY STARTING THE THREAD FROM SCRATCH SO WILL TAKE A FEW POSTS TO GET IT TO THE CURRENT DAY** Hey all, Firstly thanks for clicking on my build thread and taking the time to read/look at the pictures. I thought it was about time I started a "build thread" to...

So as the time comes to start stripping my Datsun down to start the restomod process I need to advertise my current SR20DET engine setup that is fitted in my 280z. I want to advertise it now so if people need/want to see it running they can. Please bear with me as the previous owner is the...

So looking to replace a snapped rear stud on my 280z done by the P.O. I have found a number of threads about using different studs from different cars and drilling out the holes in the hub but I want to TRY and stay away from that. Now I've found a replacement set of rears in the UK but its...

Hi all, Rebuilding my front brakes soon and trying to find a supplier in the UK for braided hoses as my rubber ones are looking a bit worse for wear, so might aswell replace them whilst the calipers are off. Does anyone know of an off the shelf kit? I thought about the likes of HEL and...

So after taking a look at the floor pans in my 280z it's very evident that they could do with replacing along with the bent floor rails at some point.. (apparently on import the fork lift driver decided to not take any care with unloading as the car was a non runner) The previous owner told me...

Hi all, Thought I better subscribe to a UK Z club as I've owned my 280z for a year now. I'm currently living and working in Saudi Arabia for 2 years so my friend has the privilege of looking after the old girl in my hometown of Lincoln whilst I'm away. Shes a (I believe) 76/77 280z with an...
