Welcome, Alex. So, how do you like the zed?

[alexHXC]

deffo my fave of the z's even though thers not much difference between the 240 n 260 jus the engine i believe? 240s jus i duno cooler?

 

always been said the first is always 1 of the best. jus like mk1 golfs haha.

 

are parts still availiable? panels etc or is it a case of an ebay search?

[sco_aus]

Welcome.  Get them anywhere you can.  I find the US has been really good, but with the recent dollar going to the shit house thing, well, i have put off getting any parts from there.

[Jospef]

Ya, engine, couple more seats in some models, and maybe the tail lights are a tiny bit different? Only real enthusiasts can spot the rest of the differences (and all the guys off this forum, haha). I'll have to disagree with you on that coolness statement though. I like the 260's better .

[sco_aus]

Yeh, 260s rule

[Jospef]

How does the RB go in your zed, Sco? I'd love to see it in action .

[sco_aus]

It goes very very well.  Easily makes 250rwkw and with the recent addition of semi slicks, it has the traction to match

Have a look at "The long" story in my signature, give a bit more of an idea mate.

[Jospef]

Sounds pretty crazy, haha. I'll check it out.

 

I want to throw a 20 or a 25 n/a in mine. Probably in the very distant future, heh.

[alexHXC]

haha cool. do you get retro cars mag in aus?

 

ther was a 260z with a 200sx engine in bloody amazing!

 

im 22 btw most lads my age drive boring cars! round here anyway!

 

is it a big scene in aus then?

[sco_aus]

I can't say I have seen the magazine, but I dont really read much.

The car scene is pretty reasonable in most cities I reckon.

 

Jospef, an NA would be pretty good, but you will have to do a fair bit of work to get it really humming.  But if your not after heaps of power then its not a bad way to go.

 

sorry to hijack your thread Alex

[Jospef]

Well, if I do the conversion once I'm on my opens then we'll see what happens. I'm hoping to keep this car forever, just see how long I can wait.

 

Car scene isn't too bad here, mate. Lots and lots of imports. Silvia's EVERYWHERE, haha. All of my mats are cruising around in silvo's, skyline's and commodores (the Voxel off Topgear, haha).

 

Was it an SR20 conversion or something? They're pretty decent from what I've seen.

[alexHXC]

carry on mate more the merrier haha!

[sydney mike]

Yeh, 260s rule

 

Yep, I'll second that, or third that ! 

 

Welcome Alex. Hopefully the Zed will grow on you like the VW's.

 

What is it with VW's and Zeds? First we had William (ZD44TT) with his 260Z and MkI Golf (sold the WRONG car I reckon) and also Brabham with his 260Z and also MkI Golf!

 

 

[George]

welcome from sydney

[sco_aus]

William actually sold his zed?  He didn't tell me!!  I have seen his MK1, it was a pretty cool little car, but still no zed.

[Mr240z]

Go the 260,s that cause you dont have a 240z (only joking)(not)

    Hey george Whats a "sydney"

    See you guys tomorrow

 

[alexHXC]
