I was a member Well I was a fully paid up member until a poxy jogger jumped out of the trees on a country lane and cost me my Z http://www.zclub.net/gallery/data/500/196kjw_510p-med.JPG, and now I'm starting my own business and another Z seems out of reach, although I long for one :(, you...

Unfortunately, the engineer who assessed the car has considered it to be a total loss, I rang the insurance company who duly informed me that they where instructing the garage to repair the car, but they then retracted the instruction and decided to re-assess and will put an offer to myself in...

Under a previous thread I posted a picture of my sadly dented 260z, being a very busy man and also being very new to classic car ownership I hadn't agreed a value for the Z, I've spoken to Fourway's where the car currently resides and I've the ball park figure of about £2500 to £3000 for...

I'm hoping this hasn't finally closed the curtains on the Z, I only had the engine bay to spray and tidy the interior, the side that hit the tree was bubbling roung the rear arch very slightly, but I know nothing good can come out of this. I'm being told that its now not procedure to offer the...

Could it get worse?.

Unfortunately for me this morning, I’ve smashed the Z, black ice and a jogger caused a nasty collision with some trees, the damage is mainly limited to the nearside rear section of the car but the lights, bumper and other odds & sods are damaged, my question is agreed value, being a busy idiot...

Has anyone any information on which needles a 260 would run perfect on, I understand it's trial and error but I’d like to knock some the trial down slightly, I'm running 2" proper SU's, with a 6into1 manifold, she runs nice but now I'm learning more about the cars characteristics, the flat spots...

She's just failed the MOT on a few things, could anyone give me a couple of tips for these before I tackle them?. 1) N/S steering rack gator 2) No reserve on the handbrake 3) Sky high emissions also the nearside return sill and near the front N/S cross member, where it meets the radiator panel...

I wanted to publicise the fact that these cars are not just restored run a round hobbies driven only at weekends, and that there is an up-to date hardcore following, but I agree I should get out more.I've seen some good ones like " caution filling is hot"!

I'm getting a new number plate made for the back of the Z, I wanted to have the Z club's website address put on the bottom of the plate,as we are in the post new site era is it still a safe bet to use "www.zclub.net"?.

I've been in one of those pottering moods recently (probably feeling guilty after contemplating selling the Z) the outside of the car is looking fairly respectable now, but can anyone recommend a good vinyl cleaner/restorer I’ve got a 260Z 2+2 with the black vinyl that covers the entire seats...

I'm thinking of replacing mine with some plasma cut stainless steel ones, but there is a pressed metal block at the end towards the car, so I might be out of luck, I was thinking of cutting the pressed block off my old ones and re-using it on my new ones by folding the new strap over at the end...

If you are looking to find any imperfections what so ever in your paintwork, then I can recommend autoglym gloss finish. It worked for me, now I know where every little undulation is and I can also  look forward to much more work,all I wanted was a nice shine!. sometimes ignorance is bliss.

Are both the petrol tanks straps the same?. Regards Mark B

Would anyone have a rough idea how many 2+2's are still alive in the UK?,just wondering if the original sales figures for the production was 1746, when people say they haven't seen one for years or actually never seen one before, I normally reply with "only about 500 left!", but I could be...

Hi All, When I pulled up in my 260z, a VERY wise man said to me  " nice car, but where do you go from that"   at the time I didn't know what he was on about, but over the last couple of months it hit me, I've got a very exclusive car, fast, loud, cheapish to run, reliable, fun and the list goes...

Or does anyone know where I can get hold of a new/used set excluding ignition but including boot. Please help i'm driving the other halfs focus and it's too high, slow, economical and i've seen a few of them on the road the same colour. Mark B

I've just snapped my only Key ( not in the lock ) for the filler cap and drivers door, would anyone have two replacement locks and key(s) , I use the car every day and I'm now going cold turkey. '75 260z 2+2. Regards Mark B mark-b@blueyonder.co.uk
