Hi, new z owner. '570z'

[84ker]

Hi my name is justin and I recently purchased my first 240z. It's a white 240z, 5.7l ls1, 6 speed, ect. I've done a bit of research on this car and I believe it was built by someone on this forum! I absolutely love the car and can't wait to get it out on the streets some more! This looks like a fantastic forum and I can see myself spending slot of time here! Thanks, Justin

Welcome aboard...you should try and come on the Xmas run on the 8th Dec

[KatoKid]

Look after it Justin or you will make Tim cry!

I wish I could make the Xmas run however I'm getting married on the 11th. Are there many cruises throughout the year? Trust me I'll look after it! It's getting a much needed willwood brake upgrade at the moment!

I did not know that. They came with the car so I didn't even give it a thought.  The guy who I bought it off was planning a 7.0l ls7 conversion so he needed these to stop it! Thanks for that info mate.

Build thread?

Which suggest '84ker' is the second owner since Tim.

 

I wouldn't worry too much about the Wilwoods as long as you don't let the car run out of registration. My engineer is also happy to approve mine. It's all about Wilwoods not having dust seals on the pistons.

Welcome Justin

and Con Grads on the up coming marriage . That was a good move getting the Z now . If you're around Bris on the 8th Dec. You would be welcome to join the BBQ to say HI and show off the V8. Even if you don't have time to join the run.

Just keep an eye on the QLD Christmas thread for details and there may be someone there who could help you out with information you may be looking for.

Yes I'm the second owner. I got the ls7 with the car. It's tempting to put it in but I like it how it is! Plans are, brakes, general tidy up and respray. Then just enjoy the beautiful peice of machinery it is! We are having a destination wedding and I fly out on the 8th. So keen to get out and meet some fellow z owners though!

Ls7 engine conversion package for sale if anyone is keen

Hi Tim here, I was the 3rd 'known' owner. That makes you the 5th.

 

I heard the 4th owner bought a whole heap of new toys for it. But I'm surprised to hear he actually purchased the 7L after I told him it barely got a mod plate with the 5.7L. Honestly mate its bloody fast as it is with that engine, box and diff. It needed new suspension and brakes which it sounds like its got/getting so drive it like that for a while.

 

Hopefully you got all the receipts and info on its previous lives. The earliest story I heard about it was that it had a 400 chev in it with a 2 speed powerglide and used to black track the entire quarter mile up in Townsville. An old fella told me that the first time I had it at the strip, he recognise it and came up to me. Then Ken bought it and after showing up a few 'hot' cars out on the street he pulled it off the road and started the LS1 conversion. Never got it running properly or driving under its own steam though. Then I came along and thats where the build up thread (link above) starts.

 

I'd love to hear about how its going mate, keep us updated.

 

Cheers

Hi Tim, nice to meet you. I didn't receive any receipts or history with the car! Did you give them to him? I'll ask him if he still has them. It still needs new suspension but I'm doing the brakes at the moment. I'll send you an email if that's ok. I have a lot of questions, ill probably annoy you I'm a bit OCD with cars , sorry!

[RB30X]

Go for it mate, its better I just answer your questions then try to remember everything at once.

I included a folder full of parts receipts/rego slips/dyno print outs, history etc that came with it when I bought it. Stuff like the special seven sided wheel nut socket, that you'll only misplace when you need it.

I'm pretty sure I left a daft punk cd in the player too
