Intro from WA

[timzcarman]

Hi,

 

I quick intro!

 

I have been trawling this and other sites for years now and figure I should become active. Plus I have some questions that I cannot find answers to!

 

I have had my 73' 240z for 15 years now and have seen it through a few different colours and dints! - I am just about to get serious with it though.

 

I am currently running an l28 with a lumpy cam and tripple 40mm mikuni PHH's. I love these carby's but they are a pain to get parts for so I think some 45/47mm OER's are on my shopping list.

 

Any who, I live in Geraldton WA currently probably soon to be the Otway region in Vic and hope to put some faces to names in the future.

 

Cheers,

 

TB

hope you find the answers you are looking for, I know all of my questions get a solid answer.

 

Lets see some pics of your beastie>>>>

[Zedman240®]

Another Welcome and +1 for the pics!

[timzcarman]

I'll get some pics up this weekend, its looking a bit sad ATM.

 

Got a bruise from a patrol ute in the rear quarter. Anyone got a surplus fuel filler lid/door off a two seater they wouldn't mind parting with?

[Mr Camouflage]

I have one from a 2+2, but I think they are different.

 

 

[Zedman240®]

I'm sure I have a white one..but I'm in Melbourne

[timzcarman]

Yeah, I thought I was on a winner when I found one in my stash. But it turns out it was from 2+2 I parted out in the past.

 

Thanks anyway

[C.A.R.]

Welcome.

Don't tug Mr Camouflage's hair - it makes him unhappy in his pants.

[timzcarman]

OK I'll remember that?

[C.A.R.]

You Better! *shakes fist*

[timzcarman]

Not so scared and confused anymore!

[timzcarman]

Allright some pics as promised, these were taken at the Grafton hill climb in NSW a few years ago.

[Mr Camouflage]

Why you little... *chokes lurch*

[herrods]

i like the hillclimb photos,

 

is the hillclimb a regular event?

 

def soemthing i would be interested in

[timzcarman]

Its a good event, nice and laid back.

Its a pretty tight run though, it uses some of the local kart track.

There are some fast bits of kit hiding in the northern rivers!

The next couple of events;

May16th Grafton Hillclimb - Club Series Mountain View (Motor Sports Complex)

August 15th Hill Climb - Club Series

September13th Grafton Hillclimb - NSW State Round Championship

 

Call Ken Norton (02) 6642 6817 for more details

 

You will need a CAMS l2S lisence, but if you arrange it you can get them on the day. (If you join the club) not to dear though.

 

Theres a link to a V8 z doin the course,

 

And another link to an incar run (Caution Subaru content)

Zeds go fairly well there, I ran in a 2lt-5lt road registered class and ended up taking the trophy against RX7's Skylines and V8 commodores. To get the most out of it try and get some r comp tyres they make all the difference.

[timzcarman]

Change of topic!

 

I have just moved to Brizzie or the Switch to be more precise. Am looking for advice on some reputable tyre/wheel alignment places and a decent Nissan dealer to get the newer cars serviced at.

 

Cheers,

 

Tim

 

P.S. Any members on here also members of the ZCCQ.

Hiya,

Welcome to QLD.

Tim, as per standard i am a little behind the times, and just noticed your thread. As being a member and also from geraldton, it is a pity we not catch up for a beer. However if you ever plan on heading back this way drop us a line.
