I spotted this earlier. As a self admitted american car weirdo I kind of like the 350 cu.in small block chevy addition. Does anyone know the car? I've not seen it around before...

I spotted this last night whilst looking for parts. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134431638554?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=CZphXbPYQoy&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=F04SBqpQRZO&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY I did a quick bit of research and it looks (to me) to be a standard early...

This story just caught my eye. I do have a soft spot for the AE86 and a strong interest in electric conversions. https://jalopnik.com/toyotas-hydrogen-battery-powered-ae86-concepts-give-us-1849985423 More and more manufacturers seem to be teasing about electric conversion packages. Ford with...

The brake servo on our 1974 Fairlady Z has failed. When the pedal is depressed there is a sudden inrush of air causing an engine idle correction and poor pedal assistance and feel. I have seen some threads where people have rebuilt them in a home setting with new diaphragm and parts. Has anyone...

Why would someone do this to compensate for a bent window regulator. What is it about doors that make people do stoopid things? The amount of doors I have seen hacked about over the years is shocking. Rant over.

Anyone who has been following my thread on my Fairlady Z escapades may recall that it was originally fitted with a Holley carb and a Bob sharp Racing manifold. I have set about replacing that with a FAST EFi retrofit fuel injection system in order to get it on the road for the summer. During...

Free to a member - or perhaps a donation of your choice etc - collection from Gloucestershire. Taken from a 1974 Fairlady Z with A/C, hence the front isn’t battered. Nothing wrong with it, just decided to refresh everything.

I'm replacing the existing 2/0 gauge (70mm²) battery cables on my Fairlady Z project. They are far too big and are improperly jointed. Our 280Z has 4 gauge factory wiring which equates to 21mm² - but the cables are arguably shorter due to the battery position (LHD) so there is little voltage...

Here’s my latest. I really shouldn’t go online after 9pm… Must. Stop. Getting. Carried. Away 😂 Am I the only one?

I went along to this today and thought some of you might appreciate a handful of pictures. It was a really good show. A well stocked trade area, plenty of cars on display and a lot going on. The only negative was that I got dragged away from the auction room..

I'm currently chasing down a fault with my lighting. My marker lamp/tail lamp circuit is blowing fuses. Oddly it's only when the instrument dimmer rheostat is turned up that this happens. The tail lights dim when the rheostat is dialled up and the combination switch harness heats up and the fuse...

Not for want of trying I couldn't really think of a better thread title... I bought this car from a fellow member yesterday. This makes Z number 3 in the house. Thankfully my wife lets me get on with it. Lucky right? It's a 1974 1973 Fairlady Z-L Deluxe model (thanks Albrecht for the correct...

I’ve mentioned this car in a few posts now so I thought it was time to give it a thread of its own. I’ve got my own Z which doesn’t need a lot doing (yep, the one on the left). My son thought that was a suitable excuse to buy a ’78 280Z in need of everything (yep, the one on the right). The...

Howdy folks. I‘m new new to the forum. As per tradition with such things I thought it polite to say hi and to (more importantly) share pictures. I’m a serial restorer and fettler and like to do things right (my wife would agree, but would use different words). I’m fortunate to have a fairly...
