Rat1314 Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Hey guys, I started lurking round this site recently and figured I'd join and stick around for a while. Seems like there is a lot of info and some nice cars on here. I own the bastard child of the Z world, a '84 Z31. I was a member of auz31club.com but that site seems to have died for the last time so I started looking round for another Australian site and this one seems like the best one. While I own a Z31 I do love all the classic Z's and I am in the middle of doing a restoration on my brother in-laws S130 2+2. I'll see about coping my build threads onto this site in the next few days. Quote
Lynton Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Welcome to the Zed community, pics of the progress on the S130 are always of interest, don't worry about the Z31 they are a great Zed if they are all sorted out, all part of the stepping stone evolution by Nissan to reach the current 370Z.

zzzzed Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 hey rat.. I was wondering how long it would take for you to venture over here. seems Auz31club is having lots of technical difficulty's of late Quote
Rat1314 Posted February 12, 2012 Author Posted February 12, 2012 Hey zzzzed, I noticed that you were on here. And yea I don't know whats happened with the site but I think I have given up on it, would have been nice if it continued but the Admins just weren't doing what needed to be done. Mick bailed completely and Ash was only logging on once every few weeks. But oh well I'm here now, I'll have to copy and paste my build threads to this site now. Quote

xa1973 Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Welcome.... Another 280zx makes me smile...... Quote
lightmaster240z Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Sweet and simple welcome from Me Quote
Mr Camouflage Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 I was a member of auz31club.com but that site seems to have died for the last time so It's like a zombie it just keeps coming back: now at www.auz31club.net (same forum, easier to remember name). So now the 11 Z31 owners left in Australia can keep on chatting about leaking vacuum hoses and injectors. Quote

Hey all, I have finally after 6+ months managed to buy auz31club.com domain name and have also registered zdriver.com.au In the next week or so will be redirecting auz31club.com to zdriver.com.au. Have the bare shell site up and will be evolving it over the next month or so. Hopeful to get the z31 enthusiasts back onboard with a proper board unlike the free sheeet that kept stuffing up before. I've got many years in Zs and web so thought why the hell not as was over seeing the z site and local enthusiast interaction die.. cheers, Paul Quote

pauls Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 There was a decent following on the old site and I got fed up of how poorly it was managed. I have a web background so am dedicated in setting up and evolving a premium site. Regarding z31's becoming a classic, yeah spot on, which is why I registered ZDriver.com.au for a broader appeal. Whether it takes off is yet to be seen. Quote
Lynton Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Hey Gav couldn't you create a Z31 chapter within this site? I have relocated to Melbourne and I am using my sons Z31 'Cali' I have been amazed the odd number of people who look around the car when it is parked............now that's a classic...indeed!! Lynton Quote
luvemfast Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 It really does make sense to incorporate all Z's doesn't it? Quote
pauls Posted July 22, 2012 Posted July 22, 2012 Although old, I don't think z31's are regarded as classic and this will still take some time. 240-280s is a niche as it was a sports coupe while the z31 was more of a cruiser. I think the appeal the 84 300zx onwards had and subsequent audience- following was very different and a mentality that many still have today. Nissan tried to recapture the pre z31 appeal with the 2 seater rb powered 200zr which never made it to OZ. For those with z31's your more than welcome to join zdriver.com.au Cheers, Paul Quote
