Hi all as any body seen the april 2007 street machine magazine The Wayne and Vicky cartoon looks like the cartoonist must like 240z Robert

hi there is a 200zr on the newcastle zed website for sales make up your own mind on it looks like some work has been done on it no back seat you do not have to find a motor or work out a motor change Robert

i would suggest for around $1000.00 get the body sand or bead blasting or go right back to bare metal and remove all parts and inspect thoughly dollars spent now will save pain and suffering later as every body else has said it looks like you stuck gold the more original the more the zed lovers will appreciate it that is from someone that modified his zed look forward to see the end result go to the nationals at Philip Island and do some brain picking from the owners of the cars you like i have found that they are all helpfull like Gavan said something that you think might be chunk could cost an arm or a leg seeing it is an early model Robert

Hi AAHHZAP where abouts in nsw does he live one of the club members may live close is it a suburb of sydney or a country guy Robert

hi i was advised that the naps was a better inlet manifold for better air flow and i was able to get it at a good price and the 65ml throttle body fits nicely to it i am sending the car to the dyno next week hoping to a 10kw increase out of it i had 90kw at the wheels when i first put the motor in with about 2000klm on the clock just hoping to get the 100kw out of it robert

help please i have just changed my inlet manifold,extractors and throttle body it had the 2.8l manifold 50ml throttle body and extractors ems stinger computer new one is the naps manifold 65m ford throttle body and stewart wilkins extractors still have the ems stinger computer my problem is that when i started the car after the change over it revs to about 4500 revs and would not drop back the revs tried the adjuster screw but did nothing to slow the revs down do you think i should disconnect the computer and that would reset the computer or is there something else i should do thank you robert
