Afternoon all! I'm going to cut out and replace the panel under my battery (LHD layout) on my 280Z. It's not rusted through, but it's thinned and I'm doing bulkhead work next to it for the RHD conversion. It's the only bit of corrosion on the car, so I'd like it sorted. I was going to order...

Evening all, As part of my RHD conversion, I've been looking for a viable non-PS RHD rack which could be used. The original RHD Datsun racks are getting silly expensive due to their scarcity, this led me to look for an alternative. MK2 Escort racks are available in a wide range of ratios and...

Morning all, I've spent far too long searching and can't find anything, due to 'RHD' being too short to be included in a search term, hence writing it out in the title for this for anyone else looking in the future. So, I have a really good condition Cali 280Z which I'm converting to RHD...

Finally made our Fairlady based house name! My wife wouldn’t let me call our new place ‘Fairlady House’, so I went with ‘Fairview’ instead! It’s significant for me. I’d always wanted a S30, but needed a house with a garage to keep it in. Here in Guernsey, that basically means spending £1...

Morning all, I’ve tried to search for this, but can’t seem to find an answer. I’m hoping the collective minds and experience of the group can help. I’m lowering my 280Z on BC coilovers and currently going through the rest of the control arms etc. On a (very) lowered car, how necessary will...

Well, I’ve been longing for a Z for about 22 years and this week, the dream finally came true!! After a bit of uncertainty, I went for the best condition, rust free car I could get - settling on a lovely 280z from the well known club member Chris Vega. I flew across to Southampton from...

I’m planning to be converting a 280Z to throttle bodies and wondered if anyone has experience of the OER setup? It seems there’s a decent saving to be had compared to the Jenvey setup, by the time you’ve actually got all the required bits. I’d be interested to hear the pros and cons of each if...

Afternoon all, Is there someone near South Wales who could inspect a car for me as a paid job? I’ve found a 260Z I’m interested in buying, but it’s in South Wales (Cardiff way I believe) and I’m in Guernsey! I can come over when required, but I’d ideally like to find someone knowledgable who...

Hi all, The time has finally come and I’m looking to buy a Z project. I’ve got a budget of around £15k ready to go. My aim in the end is to build a RHD converted restomod, so I’m not too fussed about originality. I may even consider an engine swap, so would look at cars with no engine/box...

Morning, So I’m finally in a position to buy a Z project! I’m in Guernsey though and this will be my first, so I’d love to find someone who would be able to offer some advice and inspect any potential purchase before I go through with it? Paid of course! Is there anyone in the group who...

Does anyone here know anything about this car? It seems pretty decent for the money, but I feel I’ve seen it on there a bunch before? Is there more than meets the eye? Is it underpriced? Or is that the going rate for a decent LHD car at the moment? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/133727916305...

Morning all! So, partly so I can have my house name (Fairview) done in it, and partly for the wider good of the group, I've comissioned having a full font set based on the Datsun Fairlady 240Z logos made. It's getting there (slowly), so I thought I'd put it to the wider group for feedback...

Does anyone have any recent experience with FRP Automotive? I’ve been considering a shell and other parts from them for a project I have in mind. Some research seems to give a variety of opinions, but nothing recent? Many thanks, James
