Newbie from Sydney

Gidday All,

 

New to this forum idea, but after a quick look this seems to great source of imformation and inspitation from people who have a passion for all things Z car related

 

Not sure what to say as introduction other than located on Sydney's north shore and almost purchased a Z in 1984 (260 2+2 Manual), dad talked me out of it - said not a good idea for an 18 year old. I should have ignored him, Oh well.

 

I am now in the postion to buy one as a toy better late than never he won't stop me this time. I will be looking for a very tidy example(if that is possible). Not sure if I want to stay original or not, will just see where the road takes me I suppose.

 

For now I will dig through the posts to get my knowledge up to date.  Before venturing into the market in few months in search of the car I should have purchased in 1984, back then a tidy rust free manual was about $6,500. No idea what I will need spend in todays market. Time will tell.

 

 

 

Cheers

Welcome Peter.

Study up. All the info you need is here.

And if it's not. Ask away and someone will know.

Good luck

Thanks, I am sure there will be questions and lots of them, but I will try and find the answers on the site first

 

Cheers

Welcome Peter No. 27 

Find a zed that your keen on , then fire away.

You must be around the corner from Allzparts , not sure if there a fulltime business or a partime business or no business.

Chris,

 

Allzparts - could almost walk there, about 2K's.

Won't be seriously looking until I know what to look for, the only thing I know is I will be looking for a 260 2+2.

 

Cheers

Peter,

 

Welcome aboard.  Pity your dad talked you out of it back in '84.  I was lucky enough to have my father actually encourage me when I bought mine back in late '82 at the age of 19.  I had that '74 260Z 2 seater for 5 fun filled years, and it took me another 23 years before i got my next Z.

 

Good luck with the search.

Hi

 

Well, that was 5 years ago. Amazing how time flies.

 

This forum, well the people on it actually, has been a great source of both knowledge and encouragement.

I have really enjoyed the friendly banter and interaction within the posts. I think I have even made a friend or two

 

Anyway, enough of that dribble, Thanks for all the support, encouragement & friendship - it has been a great journey. I just hope I can give back over the coming years as much as I have taken out over the last 5.

 

Cheers

Hi Jeff

 

No not planning on leaving, just been busy with other projects Pool, Boat & Chev.

 

The reason for sentimentality was, I was chatting to a friend who is rebuilding a car and struggling with one part of it. I mentioned the huge amount of help and advice I have received via this forum. He was a little stunned as his forum experiences have been rather disappointing. Just got me thinking that we don't often reflect on acknowledge those who help us with this journey.

 

Cheers
