Yes, I'll admit to having been out of 240z's for a while as I have been restoring a De Tomaso Pantera GT5 but I suddenly came across this car and it got me thinking... I love the look and I seemingly love the spec. I have searched through the forum and found only one post on it which was more...

Having been hovering away from Z's and playing with moderns for the past three years, I am now very keen to buy something really good. Have a look in my gallery and you'll see that I've owned a good 2.8 from Geoff Gale, an exceptional 260Z from Z farm and the Wyn ZVR (Did that ever surface...

I didn't realise they are back on the scene. They did a full photoshoot and article on my 240Z with the TVR engine that Wyn (900SS) built. Sadly they went bust the month that that issue was supposed to come out. I wonder whether they'll ever get round to printing it. I still have a CD of all...

Forgive me if this has already been covered before but Japanese Z Cars..... I saw this website with several cars I would love to own: http://www.carry-back.com/carryback%20stock%20car%20list.htm A lot of them seem to have 3.0 or 3.1l engines. are they just very into tuning or were these...

Been a while since I was on the forum, true to my tag, I have been playing with Porsches but..... Spotted the 260Z twin turbo in the gallery and had a few questions to ask of anyone that might know anything about it's spec...

Hi, Someone from Spain wants to buy my 260Z. I think that he fills in the appropriate section of the V5 which I send off to the DVLA, then he keeps the main page of the reg doc to show to his authorities but what about Insurance for his journey from England to the ferry and thence on the...

Right, this is starting to really get on my nerves, 'scuse the pun! My battery is a brand new Halfords heavy duty My Starter Motor is 'as new' recon from pmac My engine is a work of art! However......When I turn the ignition on, I'm either getting a positive "click" each time I turn the key...

Thanks for the overwhelming response on the fuel tank guys. It's being fitted as we speak. Next stop is struts. Apparently my lower spring platforms on the suspension struts have been poorly repaired and are rotted to buggery. Duncan at Z farm has been a legend and supplied me with a pair of...

Hello all, My 1979 260Z 2 seater coupe has failed it's MOT on a leaking fuel tank.:( Any tips, welding it up sounds like a nightmare? Alternatively does anyone have a leak free fuel tank that'll fit my car that they'd like to sell me? I'm not too worried about a spot of surface corrosion...

As some of you may know, I am selling my 260Z but thought that I had better replace the battery for the new owner as the current one barely holds any charge. What size battery do I need and how many cranking amps should I be looking for with a 2.8? Thanks all

Morning all and Happy Easter. Funny thing happened this weekend. First off my Rev counter stuck at 2500 rpm and wouldn't budge even if turned off or rev'd up to about 4,000 rpm (Using my ear-rev-meter). Then it dropped to 1500 rpm and now it: A) Goes up and down the rev range very slowly...

Morning all, I have now finished running in my fully-rebuilt engine'd 260z which with a lot of your help is running extraordinarily well. A trip to Goodwood Breakfast Club really loosened everything up and it is now pulling like a train. Such a shame to be selling it. Anyway, the problem I...

I have heard that a rather well known V8 powered 240z is going to be appearing in the classifieds rather soon. Just thought I'd give anyone a quick heads up.

My engine seems to be running, albeit very smoothly on 5 cylinders. a) Is it bad to drive it any distance like this (The engine is a re-conditioned with 150 miles on the clock) b) how do I sort it? I have cleaned all the plugs with a wire brush, dried them off, alas to no avail. It can't...

I need to top up the oil in my TVR V8 240z for a track day on Friday. I spoke to Wyn (900SS, the car's creator) who said that although he doesn't remember the weight of the oil, he does remember it was semi-synthetic. Is it a bad idea if I'm going to put 10w40 in the engine when it could be...

Is anyone going to Longleat hillclimb this weekend. There used to be a good gathering of Z club members there. One year, I remember there even being a Pagoda. How swish is that?!! I'm going to go with my V8 along with a friends immaculate 280zx

I currently run Wolfrace wheels on my V8 240z. The rears have some horrendous Matador tyres but they do great powerslides so I'll leave them for a mo. The fronts need replacing. I only use this car for fast road and track use but use it come rain or shine so semi-slicks are not an option. What...

Having done a track day in my V8, I'm tempted to have a four point race harness fitted. I have the TVR Tuscan seats so location of the straps is not a problem. Has anyone fitted four points to a 240/260 and where are you best off attaching the shoulder straps?

Ahem..... I might make myself very unpopular but I have just spotted this in ebay and had to share it with everyone..... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DATSUN-280Z_W0QQitemZ220017232204QQihZ012QQcategoryZ9903QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem I thought it had some tubes of metal on it's roof but...

As part of my 2.8 rebuild I'm keen to replace the rusty old water pump. I have found a new one for about £20 which seemed like a good deal. How do I know it will fit my engine. It is advertised as fitting 2.8i Cedric 79-83. Is that what I have? Sorry if that's a really dumb question
