Not really sure why you would import a Zed when you are talking about spending 20-25K. And then not expecting it to be in concource condition? For that sort of money on a standard Zed in Australia I wouldn't expect anything less. :-\

Lucky you bumped it Lurch. Got an address? I presume it is still at 7.00. Lurch did you want to come in with me?

Lgee you might have to come on our Feb 2010 Tassie trip and join us for 5 day's cruising and one day at Symmons Plains.

Yeah interesting. Never heard of it. But sort of makes sense. We have 2 people here talking about trailering their Zeds over for our Feb'10 Tassie Race day. They might change their minds if it's going to be real expensive.

That price doesn't sound right? People are taking camper trailers on that boat all the time and I am sure they aren't getting charged that amount. What's the difference. A trailer is a trailer and maybe a bit more weight for the car on the back. How did they come up with that figure?

Yeah I would like to do that myself one day. when the car has a few more mods.

Good idea Sulio. "Halliday to Thredbo" does have a good ring to it. We will have to lock that one in for Feb 2011 where we can all have a beer in his memory. Got to get the Tassie Feb 2010 out the way first.

Hi, well I am heading up to Bathurst again this year to watch the V8's. Anyone else from the forum heading up? If so maybe a quiet beer on the Hill Saturday might be in order. We are staying on a site behind the pit's. Cheers

Grand Racing Sport - sounds good. Ha Ha

Ha yeah everything is big over there. You should see some Zeds during your stay. By the way we ended up buying one meal and sharing. It was the only way to do it if you didn't want to leave half your meal. No wonder most of them are so over weight there. Have fun it's a great country. Oh and bring me back some 6 Spot Ap Race Callipers while the dollars looking good. Cheers

Just get a Chev and be done with it.

Yes you will have to watch the sump's depth on a lowered Zed. Can become a problem. I go one made up specially to suit my car. I also ended up putting a Tremec 5 Speed behind my motor but figured they might be a bit expensive for your project, hence my suggestion of the T5.

Got a $50.00 deposit from John alias "Serpent" 21/9/09. Thanks for your generosity we will put it to good use come the summer months when we can put on a few more BBQ's and drive days. I hope you have all penciled in the Xmas BBQ 5/12/09. Cheers Balance now at $554.18

Yes shocking news. Sad to see such a lovely gentle man go in such a way. My condolences to Kay and the rest of the family. I think maybe we should name the Bi-annual Thredbo Trip after Warren since he and Kay had such a great time only last February. RIP big fella. :'(

I had a T5 Box behind my Chev wasn't bad till I decided to beef up the motor. Depending on your HP T5 should be OK.

Life is what you make of it. It's up to the individual to go out and look for jobs, earn respect and move up the ladder. So if you want a change be persistent in your search regardless of what others say. God knows I have been put down by many people (Would love to see the pricks now, ha). Often to find a new job you have to apply for 100 or more to find the right one. I know I have done this a number of times before I landed one. But you have to fight to get somewhere and ignore the negatives, pick your self up and keep going. Only the persistent people get to the top of the ladder. There endith lifes lesson for today.

And that's why we have CAMS membership which has insurance to cover exactly what you are talking about. Something we are very well aware of over here. It would appear we are talking about two different things here. Competition sprints on a track, yes of course you need to be a member of a CAMS affiliated Club to ensure adequate insurance cover exists. But Club drives and social events are a different kettle of fish. Maybe you needed to be more specific in your initial question Mr Camo.

Ha yeah a lot of people like to keep their stuff original. Bit like my front. I could make a mould but then 10 other Zeds might end up with the same front thus losing my cars originality. Especially when it cost a shit load to produce. would be lucky to get my money back. Each to their own.

That front spoiler on the goldy/brown Zed in the States looks fantastic even I would have considered one if available over here or knew about them. Also Serpent make sure you modify the top of your G-nose where the indent is for the Number plate display. Just under the front lip. Fill it in so the front bottom lip is all one straight/flat line. Otherwise it will look very average. Just another tip.

No worries John. Glad no offence was taken. I guess discussions like the above on furums like this help us all become a little more knowledgable about our beloved Zeds. All the best

I must say the G-Nose also helps the stability of the car at high speed. At 250klm my car sticks to the road like glue. No wondering. It's as stable as anything. But don't ask me where I did that speed. Sirpent also be aware it's not about getting over speed humps it's about going up driveways and sharp rises. The over hang could become a problem for you there. I=On the light front. I am with you Evan. I have found a Porsche head light (late model) that might fit the G-Nose with very little mod. something for me to work on 5 years down the track. It's lower on the priority list of mods at the moment.

I agree Lurch. There is no liability or come back to a Web based Club for road events. Like Lurch says that is what the TAC is for. By the way it is one thing thinking you can sue for damages of any kind, it's another thing winning and even another actually receiving money. By the way to sue someone will cost probably a minimum of 10K. So let's not bandish around dribble about sueing people running things on this site. Now as for the "Z" register I really didn't want to buy into this one. However now I am on my soap box here goes. I have been around the Zed seen for 15-20 years and I can't even begin to tell you how many times I have heard people talk about a Zed register. I can tell you there are probably 5 half baked registers around the country run by different people at the moment and not one of them is actively kept up to date. Let alone contacting each other to share this information. It is a waste of time having a register unless the person who plans on keeping it actively seeks out Z Car owners and obtains their cars details. I am talking about the Z Register person actually contacting the Zed owner not waiting for the odd person to log onto a particular site and on the rare occassin they might actually feel like completeing a form detailing their cars spec's etc. Hence 90 to 95% of Zeds will never end up on anyone of these "5" registers rendering them next to useless. My appologies if I have offended anyone here. Whilst a register sounds great in principle, unless you have someone contacting every Zed/Nissan car Club in Australia and then actually calling or emailing the Zed owner hounding them for details then the chances of people wanting to use the register probably won't bother because they know 95% of Zeds in Aus won't be on there. :-\

Sirpent. Looks good. I agree the bottom section of the G-Nose needs to be modified. Just a pointer to think about. If you place the bottom lip too far forward you will bottom it out every where because there is far more over hang on the Zed compared to the car you have pictured. Mine is set back somewhat to avoud this problem so just keep that in mind. I am presuming the car will be lowered.

Ah CONGRATULATIONS Sulio & Nicole. Glad the big day went well. Enjoy your big holiday. Am looking forward to hearing all about it on your return. Have fun. Cheers.

Nice pics Stew
