Hi Guys,
I'll be in Melbourne from the 6th - 25th of February. It would be great to catch up with a few of you if possible and meet some new faces (but old forum friends ;)). I may also make it to other states NSW / QLD - but haven't planned that far ahead yet. Would like to see Uluru / Ayers Rock but again not sure how possible this will be.

I was considering trying to get my 240z on the road, but not sure how feasible it will be for just 3 weeks?

My step dad has been starting the car every so often for the past 4 years!

- My plan was to:

1. Bleed to brakes - possibly replace the rear drums with caliper conversion
2. Drain fuel tank (the fuel is 4 years old)
3. Consider replacing rubber fuel lines
4. Replace spark plugs
5. Drain oil in sump and replace with fresh oil and filter
6. Step dad says air is still in tyres (I'm surprised about that) - Do tyres get flat spots from sitting that long? Should this be a concern?
6. Try and get temporary reg or Club Reg (CH Plates) - I want my mum to be able to take it out every so often - it's a waste having it just sit there.

- However I'm not sure how feasible it is to get temporary insurance cover (Possibly 1 month only?)

- If I got real enthusiastic

1. Fit Triple Mikuni's - I have in storage
2. Maybe fit bigger camshaft :P
3. Consider replacing gearbox
4. Do some minor bodywork

But really my main goal is to just get her on the road and enjoy driving her for a couple of weeks while I'm back home and it's sunny! How I miss Brighton beach in summer and driving along in the Z.

That's great news..
I'd drain fuel as #1.. 4 year old fuel you'd be lucky if the car starts!
Perhaps a small team effort to help install all the bits? I'd be in to give a hand.

Cam and triples workshop?
Shouldn't take too long.
Then off for a cruise? What side of town is the car?

Lurch:
Rego/Club Permit will be the thing that will hold the process up, Gav.

Too true.
Seems to be more and more rules coming into play.
Like-
"You must attend at least 6 club events to maintain club rego"
Don't really get it, but not in a position to join the committee either.
