A really nice build ❤️ it

Or spend £42k on this instead.... Used DATSUN 260Z 1977 for sale - PistonHeads UK

Starting to get somewhere I'm happy with. Still can't make my mind up on a rear wing...

😁😁

Dallas. I worked there about 20 years ago.

Quite a bit of fixing stuff over the last week: new front hubs, new front ABS sensor, strip and reseal front calipers, and flush brake fluid for new Motul 5.1. I did get around to fitting a Maxton lip kit which I've had kicking about the garage. For the money it's got to one of the best bang for buck exterior mods. Next awaiting my carbon fibre bonnet from Torqen... it might not be original but I love a black carbon bonnet on a white car 😎

I've been trying to identify a noise from the front hubs for a couple of weeks... it's sort of binding brakes/front wheel bearing noise even though with the car on the lift the hub rotates freely, and the wheel bearing feels okay. I decided sod it I'll fit new hubs and a seal kit for the calipers, and when stripping the front hub down on the drivers side I found some monkey had previously broken the ABS sensor tab off, and had glued the ABS sensor into the hub! I'm wondering if this is the root cause, although can't figure how.

The shield rotted on our dog car... a bullet proof 23 year old Toyota SUV.... and I just ripped it off and carried on. No problems.

Let's talk 😁

Torqen have the spoiler off their demo, drop them an IM. Think it's along the lines of what you are looking for. I did have a look at it but I'm after a carbon duck bill myself.

Sorry I binned them the other week

As forums go it's a bit of a ghost town but there are a few lurking and I've found everyone friendly. Post up some photos of the project. I'm extending my garage from a double to a triple so that I have room for a rusty shell restoration project alongside my 370z project. Not quite sure what yet but always interested in seeing what people such as youself are rebuilding.

£30k gets you a decent C63 AMG or RS4

You think they'd vacuum it

I'm close to pushing the button on a carbon bonnet, how do you find the OEM catch? Any issues? Do you think it needs bonnet pins? Interested in your experience Looking good btw

Thanks for organising Andy, first time back there in 10 years and forgot how much fun it is Nice to put faces to a few names

Its coming along well. I've seen mixed views on oil cooler ports on the top / bottom (as you have them).

Thought about it but I wanted plenty of room for a boot to hide the horrible plastic gate.

GTR shifter with the hand made cherry blossom shift boot and the silver surround repainted in black crackle, all the cheap and nastiness gone 👌 pan widget

Ah got it Thanks chaps 👍

Sorry I'm being dim. The email says "you should have received on a seperate email a QR code..." I haven't had a seperate email, and I can't see any QR code on either of the attached pdfs.

It's crazy in this country how we have all normalised being ripped off with obscene levels of taxation.

I've thought about throwing in a pair of aftermarket reclining buckets, but I like the standard seat, it has no clearance problem with tilting back, head rest isn't designed for use with a helmet not a head, has elec adjustment and heater. I'm not tracking the car, and it's a while since I got in 38 jeans 🤣 Like your idea of red bolsters black alacantra centre panel retrim and matching retrimmed kneepads. Can retrim door cards at the same time. You hit the nail on the head yes I'm trying to tie it all into the wheel.

The standard auto shifter and the big round plasticky base is the ugliest piece of crap, I reckon the designer was wasted on saki when he drew it. It offends me. 🤣 I've been playing with an auto to manual knob adaptor, and some hand made bits from a small online shop in New Zealand. Not sure what I think. Looks like it's trying too hard to look like a manual maybe. Have ordered a GTR knob to try next. And thinking I should get my seats recovered in red leather... 🤔

I haven't seen another email with a QR code, anyone else have one yet?
