Gents,
I'm searching around for shocks / strut inserts for my Z. I will be using Eibach springs.

Hi Chaps,
Don't know if anyone has posted this up already but there is a fairly large article on Big Sam in OCTANE Classic & Performance Cars magazine. issue 86. august 2010.
I think Big Sam may be going to auction? I'm sure i saw an estimate of £40,000-£60,000.

Hi everyone,
Just a quickie, are the thermostats for a 260Z and a 240Z the same? I don't even know if the thermostat housings are the same.
Cheers in advance.

I saw this kind of thread on another post and thought it was a good idea to have one for all the older Z cars spotted on the road. It would be kind of cool to know who has spotted you while you're out driving!
