New brake pads and brakes refurbished, brake rotor disc refinished, inner and outer wheel bearings replaced, all suspension bushes replaced and all universal joints replaced. But it's still clicking which makes me ...

I'm assuming that you will have drained all the stale fuel out of the petrol tank and fuel lines. Even in a dry climate it's amazing how much a petrol tank "pants", sucking in air as the atmospheric pressure rises and falls. Any moisture will then condense in the tank. I bought a motorcycl...

I'm not a club member but would like to come along. I'd like to do the Museum tour and I think the idea for lunch at Little River is a very good one. I do the Akaroa run with the Classic Japanese Motorcycle Group about twice a year and that's what we do. Then we could re-group for coffee at Akaroa. ...

I've been following this restoration for some time and have commented on the YouTube videos. What irritates me is that some guy (a know-all) on the end of a microphone/sound system thinks that what he has to say (mostly dribble) takes precedence over the sound (engine noise) of the aircraft speaking...

Watch out for so called experts

I went for fresh oil before a 600 mile trip. I'm over the ramp and I pop the bonnet. This d******h then leans in on the panel below the windscreen and starts wrenching on the corner of the bonnet trying to lift it. Obviously it's not lifting so he pulls harder until I yell out for him to stop. The e...

I took my 240z to Nelson last weekend where I called to pick up an old friend to go out for lunch together. He has a Japanese wife so my friend said to her to go and have a look at the Datsun. She said "Your car has a Datsun badge on it but it's a Fairlady. Two liter engine and they never came ...

If I was going to do it and could afford it, I would do what he has done except for the carbon fibre. The sound of a turbo'd engine is completely different to the induction roar of a set of carburetors. More subtle, very sweet instead of a flat brum, brum. There's too much crappy music and yap in th...

I would like to apologise to Graeme and you guys on the forum for my snarky post. I should have just asked him what he meant.

He was trying to help me out. Hopefully he's not too offended and we can get back to car talk and the like.Cheers, :oops: TC
