goatzedsoup Posted July 18, 2013 Posted July 18, 2013 Hi, New member from the Gong. Currently getting the old girl back on the road. Nothing major to do, just the 30 year old suspension. Unfortunately, not a S30, but a clean S130. Second owner vehicle, with less than 100k on odometer. One more Nissan service for complete factory books. Mandatory photos soon. Brendan Quote

zzzzed Posted July 19, 2013 Posted July 19, 2013 Welcome. Nothing unfortunate about S130's! That's true. It's their driver you have to worry about. Quote
goatzedsoup Posted July 19, 2013 Author Posted July 19, 2013 Thanks for the welcome, owned 3 280's, 79 manual, 82 auto, current 80 manual. Looking forward to the zed being back on the road where it belongs. Planning on driving it most days, it has never let me down in the past. Just some kinks to iron out, after sitting for 3 years or so. Hard to beat cars, music and lifestyle from the swinging 60's. Quote

goatzedsoup Posted July 24, 2013 Author Posted July 24, 2013 Thanks very much. Zed is in pretty good condition, will be on the road by next weekend. Looking forward to meeting some like minded people for a cruise and a few laughs. Quote
goatzedsoup Posted July 26, 2013 Author Posted July 26, 2013 Photos soon, the wait is also killing me. The zed does not look a day over 10. Only wish I could age so well. Soon I will have the same colour hair as duco. Quote
goatzedsoup Posted August 9, 2013 Author Posted August 9, 2013 Almost got the lady on the road. Suspension sorted, went the normal route of lowered 1" King springs and KYB shocks and struts. I was surprised that the 33 year old suspension had not sagged at all, also replaced the bump stops. My partner and myself both groaned as we lowered ourselves into the car, I am glad I am going to enjoy the car know rather than later. Blue slipped passed with flying colours. Unfortunately Shannons sent the green slip to the wrong address. Should be sorted tomorrow, I know Saturday, but will pay with debit card and get registered. Car is not as original as I would want, happy with the suspension, but I upholstered the hood lining in velour, and the two rear sections in the hatch area in a non original vinyl, (not the spare wheel compartment). Would appreciate any help with acquiring the appropriate materials to correct. Not that many people would pick. Anyway, just a update before I can take some new photos of the girl on the road. Quote
