    Caliper refurb recommendations please!

    I've a friend with a 350Z who wants their Brembo calipers stripped, rebuilt with new seals, etc and repainted back to OEM spec complete with Brembo logos. Can anyone recommend a (UK-based) firm up to the job? Thanks :)

    Power tool recommendations - which brand?

    Hi all, I'm in a quandary. I want to buy a new cordless drill and impact driver set and would like some advice. I'm a keen DIYer with pretty much the whole house the renovate. Up until now, I've only owned a cordless Ryobi combi drill (never had an impact driver) which has done well with the...

    Bob Laishley's 370Z NISMO for sale

    If you're looking for a 370Z NISMO then you might want to check this one out. It was originally owned by Bob Laishley (he was Nissan's NISMO & Sports Car Program Director at the time) so it's got an interesting history and spec. Maybe a good long-term investment? I can pass you more details...

    Z31 in London barn find

    There's been a 'barn find' in London with some 175 cars in dry storage apparently. Here's a link to the video showing some. This one took my eye: They also posted up this pic on their Instagram account (londonbarnfinds): It looks pretty straight!

    Does anyone own SEB 800S?

    I (finally) got my 240Z to our new home today and a one of our neighbours came over to reminisce owning a 1977 260Z 2+2. The reg was SEB 800S. It looks to be alive and well judging by my app. Does anyone on here own it now? :)

    SOLD: UK Spec 300ZX donor car

    All, I'm posting this up for a friend. His beloved UK 300ZX was garaged after it failed its MOT (because of bodywork) 14 years ago. The intention was always to get it back on the road but, unfortunately, the garage turned out to be damp and it's suffered as you can see in the photos...

    My New-Old Vanity Plate

    2 Post Lift - With Detachable Ramps?

    I've been thinking about 2 post Vs 4 post lifts. There are obviously pros and cons for each. Is there a reason you couldn't have a 2 post lift and attach a couple of long ramps when you need to so you can drive your car onto them and it would effectively give you the benefit of a 4 poster...

    eBay item - Datsun 240z East African Safari Rally Trophy And Cigarette Case

    I found this interesting. The trophy looks as beat up as a rally car though! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Datsun-240z-East-African-Safari-Rally-Trophy-And-Cigarette-Case/154338922098 I assume it's genuine. Not cheap, but a one-off I suppose :)

    Images in signature

    I used to have a sig pic (added using the IMG codes) and it worked fine. However, I just went to edit the code for a new pic and now I can't get an image to show at all. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

    Gearbox plunger orientation question

    I'm sorting out a 5 speed gearbox and I've bought a replacement plunger because the old one was heavily scored. It's the part shown here: Here is the new and old one side by side: As you can see the new one has a pinhole in it (presumably to allow oil flow?) whereas the old one didn't...

    Magnetic sump drain plug

    I've been thinking about getting a magnetic sump plug for when I next change my oil. I believe all the cars from 240Z to 280ZX have a 16.4mm thread - please correct me if I'm wrong! I've found the Gold Plug AP-16 is available in the US but I've not found a UK distributor who sells that...
