After not being able to find anything online, I took matters into my own hands and made my own gel 'Z' badges for the Rota wheel centre caps. Very chuffed with the results! Here's the rota ones.. And here's my Z ones: I'm going to paint the caps in the same ford shadow paint I used for...

Does anyone know if the window regulators stayed the same from 1970 - 76? I know they were made beefier for the 77-78, but I don't know if the 75-76 280z used the same ones as the 240z. Zcardepot sell new ones, which they list as for 1970-1973. No mention of 260z or 280z. But Torqen sell the...

Just wondering if these can be disassembled to strip and paint?

Anyone know what this part is called and if it's available anywhere? It's like a bracket that fits over the engine mount presumably to stop the engine moving forwards and backwards. *Edit* found on a 76 280z, so might be specific to the later cars? I could try and grind off the rust and...

Does anyone know a way I can get 'Z' centre caps to fit Rota RKR wheels? Or if not, perhaps somewhere that sells just stick on emblems - maybe I can stick them over the Rota ones or even pull the Rota ones out and swap them? Zstore sell them for Konig Rewinds so I'm hoping someone knows of a...

Hi all, I'm in the middle of a mild underside resto on my 280z, and now I've got the subframe off and the engine supported by a beam, I'm going to tackle the sump pan, as the engine is coated in thick old oil, and it looks like a lot of that has leaked from the sump gasket. So I'm thinking...

Could someone with a 240z, and someone with a 260z or 280z please measure the thickness of the pin part of the plastic rivets that attach the rear light panels to the car? MSA/Zstore say that the 240z uses smaller ones, and that the 260 and 280z use the same diameter rivets as used on the...

Dino Carbonare has just put up a cool video covering the Fairlady Z meet in Japan. Thought you guys would like:

Hi all, I'm sending my car off for paint at the end of next summer, and the company doing it (Passion 4 Paint in Nantwich), say they will remove the glass for me, and also put it back in with my new seals etc. I have a 19 piece Precision weatherstripping kit, but I realise it doesn't have the...

Datsun 240z 1971-1972 Hitachi SU Carbs & Manifold for sale. In need of refurbishment but taken from a running and working car. No slop in the butterfly spindles so these will work great once reconditioned. £250. Collection from Manchester preferred but can post for additional cost.

If anyone's looking for a complete set of seat foams I spotted this listing - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/126130115074 Has a 'make an offer option' too so could get a good deal there.

I've got a few parts from the original nissan AC system that was in my 76 280z - if they're of any use to anyone please let me know. I don't imagine they're worth anything! But let me know before they go to the tip.

I have a metal fuel vapor expansion tank from a 1976 280z if anyone wants it? If so, make me an offer, I'm not sure what it's worth, but it's in good nic - no rust that I can see, just needs a good clean.

I've managed to source a pair of FS5W71C gearboxes from a guy in Northampton. One is from an 80k mile car that he has documentation and photos of, and the other was a spare he bought and he's unsure of the mileage, but both were road only cars and haven't been drifted. I've managed to get a...

I'm in Bala in Wales for the weekend, and just saw a pristine red 2+2 260z with white interior and gold wheels of some sort go by on the main road. Anyone here?

My Dad spotted this episode of Bangers & Cash with 3 very tatty S30s at auction. 6k for the 240, and under 5k for the two 280zs. Seeing the state of all 3 makes me feel pretty good about mine, seeing as its tatty but doesn't have any holes in it...

I thought I may have now watched very Z related video on youtube, but I've just discovered a new, until now untapped seam of Japanese videos! Check out the incredible sound of this guy's highly tuned S30. He mics it up using 4 microphones to capture the intake and exhaust sounds of the car...

Who's is this then? Looks like an absolute beast. Interesting how much Jack came around to it after he drove it a bit more.

.. is beginning to look like a tall order! I currently have a 3.545 R200 diff in my '76 4 speed 280z, according to this: According to this thread on zcar.com, the only cars that come with a long-nose R200 are the following Z cars (nothing from any other marques?) - and only 4 of these came...

Hi all, I've potentially agreed to buy a 5 speed box from a 1988 200sx s13 turbo (CA18DET), which I believe should make it a FS5W71C.. but, it has a stamp on the bellhousing which says "CA71B #2". The "71B" is what's concerning me. I've tried googling this but there's so much conflicting...
