zed74 Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Guess I thought i should join after being a "casual observer" for some time... Also I felt a little guilty for pushing 24 DAT into the "firing line" by suggesting he join the forum & offer to purchase a reskinned dash My history First Z car purchased 1990 (1977 Gold 260z 2+2) and enjoyed the "old station wagon" even giving it a full nut & bolt restoration etc. Sold early 2001 Second Z was purchased approx. 2001 (modified V8 1973 Red 240z) I think a current forum member now owns (George?) I Kept it 3 years - but finding Avgas & street driving was somewhat dodgy! Sold approx. 2004 Third Z was acquired 2004 & still owned (converted my mum's road going 1974 260z into Tarmac Rally car) My father & I competed in Classic Adelaide 2004. Car has been in several tarmac rallies since (2005- Adelaide, 2007 - Rally of Classics Willowbank, 2008 Adelaide) Entered for Targa High Country 2011. Fourth Z was bought 2006 (1972 240z) fully restored (sandblasted etc) and conversion to 240ZG track car - full roll cage etc - currently undergoing modifed L series engine development & suspension rework.

After some7 years of supersprints ya have ta man up big fella!! Official welcome, and YAY, another queen slander Yea yea - I know! The Shannon's event at QR back in 2008 was heaps of fun & geez those V8 mustangs didn't like being out-braked & hassled mid corner! Quote
PZG302 Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 we can get it ready and compliant with the prod sport 2A regulations so you can come and upset the modern cars with me..... Quote
zed74 Posted April 4, 2011 Author Posted April 4, 2011 Yea - sounds like a lot of fun. Just need Jim Milliner to spanner my new injected "screamer" L28 engine together & acquire/complete my new AZC suspension package If only my sons did not need a "private education" my motorsport fund would look healthy :'( Quote
PZG302 Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 State Schooling never did me any harm, and i can almost count to twentyeleven and I know my acb's. As for the new screamer, well, you'll have to wait until Jim sorts out a couple of niggles with my truck motor..... But if you are looking at having a play in Prod Sports, get the rule book out to make sure it's all Ok for group 2B, I know my way around the rule book in terms of Zeds and compliance. Quote
Brabham Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Welcome, Good to see another track zed. Where did you find your G-nose from out of interest as I want to build a ZG down the track? Nice looking zed, yep get out there in Marque sports and harass those overweight American contraptions Quote
zed74 Posted April 4, 2011 Author Posted April 4, 2011 Thanks Brabham Bought the ZG nose on ebay a few years back. It was the 2 piece replica & took a fair amount of work to fit right. Actually, I was interested to note someone on this forum is looking at producing a carbon fibre version! My first one has actually been damaged - so time to upgrade! Did the lime green colour as it was a colour used in 1972 + maybe I can get some Corona beer sponsorship Quote
C.A.R. Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 Welcome mate. We are going to have to be a bit careful about flaming any new members on this forum, as a lot from the QLD Z Club will be joining soon... Quote
zed74 Posted April 4, 2011 Author Posted April 4, 2011 Welcome mate. We are going to have to be a bit careful about flaming any new members on this forum, as a lot from the QLD Z Club will be joining soon... Yea - 24 Dat should be able to encourage some action on that front! He has some official duties & as this site is very open/informative - our membership would benefit greatly. Quote
Jk_zeder Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 Hey man, welcome. That lime green Z looks familiar.. Is that the supercharged one? (heard stories ) If so you're Wilbur's son yea? Hoping to have the 240 complete for LapZ next month so might see you there? Welcome mate. We are going to have to be a bit careful about flaming any new members on this forum, as a lot from the QLD Z Club will be joining soon... Slowly hassling them onto here - forums are just very foreign to a lot of the guys. Quote

Hoping to have the 240 complete for LapZ next month so might see you there? Slowly hassling them onto here - forums are just very foreign to a lot of the guys. Yes - it was Supercharged - never really performed to expectations (did about the same times as my 260Z tarmac car - with 5 year old engine, at Bathurst FOSC meeting in 2010! :'() & has since been removed awaiting a "serious" 8000+ rpm screamer fuel injected L28 (under development) + removed suspension/brakes to go with "lighter" AZC options. Sorry, will have my 260Z tarmac car there as the 240z engine programme delayed due to floods + suspension removed awaiting AZC items All good things take time - I think as members "pick up the vibe" more will contribute or will use the collective knowledge of this forum. Correct - don't know when the old man is retiring - took me 2 years to just beat his times at Lakeside Raceway! He is doing pretty well for 77y.o. driving a 550HP monster RB30 Turbo 260Z Quote
