peter mc Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 very cool not as light as i was expecting, has the same suspension as my car. love the motor it would sound nice .i think i left some drool as well.. Quote
RB30X Posted March 9, 2011 Author Posted March 9, 2011 I'd love to hear the carbied RB26. I've seen a 25 on YouTube before. Quote
Brabham Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Very Cool Any chance you could post higher res pics/ email me the article as you can not read it when you save and expand it. Cheers Quote
garvice Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Anyone have a link to the magazine website or where this magazine can be bought? Quote
RB30X Posted March 9, 2011 Author Posted March 9, 2011 I've got some high res ones, flick me your email. Any newsagency sells them mate. Quote
Riceburner Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Probably a stupid question but what the name of the magazine? High perfomance imports......? Quote
RB30X Posted March 9, 2011 Author Posted March 9, 2011 Its actually just Performance Imports now, they dropped the high for some reason. Quote
PZG302 Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 For mine it's a nice car but nothing special. The panel fit is atrocious and it's still pretty heavy. The interior is a bit too much being over function for mine. When you read the article what it promises and what was done is a bit of a letdown, basically what would be done in glass to save weight has been done in expensive fancy carbon and then the body wrapped in vynal. My race car has better panel fit and the guards are held on by 3 bolts each. Weight wis e mine is 960kg and the only panel not steel is the bonnet. There are plenty of S30's over here that are much better. Shaun's 260 for one comes to mind as a street car and Peter MAC's weapon for a track car. What we do to our cars here I find is generally better than what is done OS. One case in point is the map spec cages that look like one huge mouse trap ready to collapse on you with all the bends in the middle of nowhere and no bracing. Maybe a few of our cars should be put forward to show how it should be done? Quote
nizm0zed Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 Its actually just Performance Imports now, they dropped the high for some reason. Dropping the 'high' came from my lawyers, they didn't want the law suit from having to compete with my car ;D Quote
Ledge Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Hi Just got the mag and have to agree with PZG302. Especially when it reads like they are taking credit for Arizona Z car suspension. Ive seen much better cars here than that. Engine though is a different kettle of fish ,That looks superb and I'm assuming NZeders will be the same? Isn't he doing a webered rb26? Regards Paul Quote
RB30X Posted March 12, 2011 Author Posted March 12, 2011 Engine though is a different kettle of fish ,That looks superb and I'm assuming NZeders will be the same? Isn't he doing a webered rb26? An efi hardware ITB set up. Yes it will be very nice as well. Hear that NZeder, pull your finger out mate. Quote
peter mc Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 its a cool car with a different motor but they should have mentioned where the parts came from not cool to take credit for that .and i do believe we have some grate cars hear and NZ that are as good as any anywhere in the world Quote
garvice Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Bit disappointed to read that it wasn't a full carbon skin. Also thought it was funny when they said "Thick steel panels". They are pretty thin when I try and weld them, ha. Quote
sydney mike Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 It's a great Zed but have to agree with PZG302 & Ledge. But remember it's the writer of the article not Rocky or the owner claiming it's the "greatest Z in existence". It's certainly not super-light (I think from memory BenZeds is lighter?) The mere mention of "three central airvents have been converted to house the Omori gauges" alone shows how much the writer of the article actually knows about Zeds. Would I want this Zed in my driveway? For sure Quote
FuzzyDropbear Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 The mere mention of "three central airvents have been converted to house the Omori gauges" alone shows how much the writer of the article actually knows about Zeds. They made the same comment in one of the earlier mags... I guess they haven't had time for much research? Quote

Z Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Hey Garvice go down to the Kedron shops, the newsagent there has copies. Good to see 240's in these mags more, can only be good for us and gives them the attention they deserve. Quote
Stivva Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 I could Post PDFs of the pages if you guys like. I may have them here, but I know I have the source file in the office Quote
tbscobraZ Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 In any good newsagent mate. I hope they do a feature on the star road Z both are my hero cars. Quote
Stivva Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 Oh and the stories fom japan are outsource from dino of speed hunters fame so Jason round has nothing to do with the airvent stuff up in the text. Zeds are coming back in a big way and I am pointing Jason in the right direction of some local Eda, but as a graphic artist there is only so much I can do. I have got a friends r31 coupe shot and is on the cards for a issue down the track. Quote
