Yep count me in. I went to Lake Mountain for the snow a few weeks back. Still plenty of activity up there. Worth a drive and if you like maybe we should organise a BBQ lunch somewhere?

Bring the caps along to the next meeting Lurch. They will sell.

Nice shots Lurch. Well done.

Hey Lurch what time are those strippers coming again? Buxum Darky is what I think he ordered. :-\

Hi All, Sulio is heading overseas to get married etc for a couple of months I think. So we are planning on meeting up at his work around 6.30-7.00 for a BBQ and a few drinks. Let us know on here if you can make it. I am sure Sulio will be back on line soon. Regards

So you going to tell us a bit about your car? Specs etc. I'm glad you got a bonnet with a smaller scoop. Otherwise I think the cops would be pulling you over every 5 klms.

Sounds like an interesting event. I would be keen if there was ever one of those in Melbourne.

G'day I have finally gotten off my butt and entered the John Mott Sprint on the Sunday 26th. I was wondering if anyone else from here might be going. I haven't done a sprint for nearly 2 years and a few mods later. So should be interesting. I know a few Zeds will be there. Gordon and Dave Robertson will be there. Hopefully it will be a dry day and I can better my old time. Cheers

Yeah was good to see. I thought he was gone after that drive through. I still can't get my head around him beating all those other teams and drivers. How can there be such a big turn around?

Many on that list sound like a path I have been down. Good luck with it. will take some time.

Ahhhh mate all that hard work. Good luck with the sale. Not a great time but hopefully someone can pick up a nice car. Cheers

Well done Bob that looks like a nice Zed. Certainly a good starting point. Cheers

Bloody awesome time Sinisha. Man you have got that thing flying now. Gordon might just keep up with you in his GTR after his new suspension goes in. I think he did 1.23's the week before with stck suspension similer to Ben in his GTR. But you are the bench mark. Well done. I hope to get back out there one day. Will probably wait for the summer months first. Cheers

Best way is get some wheels with the proper offset. You will want to get 255's under there one day Lurch. Trust me do it properly once. That's my 20cents worth.

I like the Cap Lurch. I had sort of gone quiet on this. I might have to get my butt into gear.

Yes I was thinking the same then read what Dazza has written. He is spot on. Check the cars sound first as there are some cheap Zeds going around, road worthy etc. Welcome and good luck Ross.

Ah but the angle of the steering column has a bearing on how heavy the manual steering will be also. The old Zed has a long nose and that's partly why it has been natorious for heavy steering. But, I look forward to hearing how the first electric power steering goes in an old Zed then, if some one is keen.

I looked into these electric power steering units. Apparently they are not very strong and should be used on very small cars only. That's why most cars today don't have them. Don't waist your time going down this track as Zed steering is heavy and no electric motor will be as efficient as a Subi Rack.

Let me know if that is a 260Z 2+2 Cross member there. If so I will drop over and pick it up for $20.00 if that's agreeable.. Regards

Yeah I would sayu 15-20K depending on wheels and paint condition.

Yes Even the normal diff mount remains underneith. It's the cradle that goes over the top. And like I say above "there are NO new holes to be made in the chassis". So ligning it up is not a problem. The problem is that under excelleration the front of the diff lifts up. More so if you have a powerful car. The original diff mount is not real strong. So it flex's up under power. Over time things wear out and this movement becomes greater, creating the natorious clunk etc. The brace over the top simply stops the front of the diff raising under power. The bottom one remains in the same position. Correct me if I am wrong anyone. But that's my understanding.

I think you are talking about two different things. The diff brace pictured is not the same set up for the chain system. The chain system does not have to be welded in if you don't want it to be.

Wow some good prices there boy's. I guess it pays to shop around. Threds like this a good for steering you in the right direction to save some serious money.

Nah mate the brace is bolted in four places with in the Zed Tunnel and those bolt holes are alreeady in the cars Chassis. Buggered if I know what they were for. Lurch might know.
