620Z

Hey Miika, if the 370Z looked like your blue one you put up I would certainly be in the market for one. A paint shop next door had a 350Z whith a full body kit on it and $52,000- worth or Super Charger and engine development on it. That one I would be keen on as well. I will keep dreaming. ha

Well done Michael sounds like you got the right 2-way. Also on the video camera front you can get small handy cams for around $250- which is really cheap but work well in cars. Sulio suggest the Hi Def but make sure it still goes onto a tape as the Hard Disks skip in the cars. But that's only if you have a grand to spare. Sulio I will bring a camera and mount it in the usual place. We can hand it around and use that if you like. Casual only. We could throw a 5 minute thing together. But we can play that one by ear. Good to see a few people getting on board. Let's just book at the Hotel. I will do so for Sulio Lurch & myself. Cheers

Yep, as you know we normally crap on about our Zeds till the early hours. Except for Lurch he still needs plenty of beauty sleep. If we did get say 8 people staying over we could look at getting the Mulbury House for around $520- which would accommodate us all. I plan on booking either way on Monday. So let's see how many we get or else I would just book a Hotel room.

Justin Mahar and I might come down on the Sunday if the weather is looking OK Warren. (No promises though).

Could be a goer if we are passing by Dale, why not stop over and check out your collection. Will you guys be staying over night or woosing it?

Holly, we have heaps of shots of the 370Z from the Thredbo trip. What sort were you after? I am sure there will be all or most of them on the upcoming DVD from the trip out in a months time.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha

My advise is to limit the sport in your daily driver. Most cars after mods start costing you money. Like you say money that could be used on the Zed. My plan has always to concentrate all my money and efforts on one car. This keeps you focussed and all energy in the one place. I see plenty of people with an assortment of cars and more often than not the Zed gets put on the back burner. And 2 years later a half finished project is up for sale.

Just drive the car in the rain. Rust takes a while to spread. so in a year or two it might move another 10-30mm, so what. Then when you have the cash do the body up properly and job fixed. That's what I did anyway. Now everything is protected and I say rain, bring it on.

Add we might meet around the Shell Servo at Westgate. Why you planning on making the trip back first? Meeting point depends on numbers. At the moment not much of a response so we might change the meeting point closer to the time to better suit those going. Come on guys, you have these great zeds, don't just talk about them, get'em out of the guarage and use them.

Hey Nato that may well be Darius car. I would have been up for the wide body kit had I not done the body of my car in the last few years. Looks like I missed the boat. I say go for it. A lot of mucking around to get it right. But done properly and road worthy I reckon you will have a Zed well known around the country. Oh and what the others said about advertising. We are just trying to stamp out the free loaders. Hang around, Lurch just gets a bit excited sometimes but he means well.

Nice clean looking car. Let's hope we see it out at one of our drives or meets soon.

Hey Steff, from memory you were selling the car without a road worthy? Maybe you should consider selling it with one. People always worry about the hidden problems behind a road worthy and maybe that's what is holding them back? Just a suggestion. Good luck.

Accommodation is looking like the Royal Mail in Dunkeld. http://www.royalmail.com.au/ Costs are $220- with breakfast twin share with mountain views. $180- with out views $335- for 2 bedroom accommodating 3-4 people. Or if we have a large group we could look at a house style on the sheep farm 3 minutes from town. Do a BBQ tea etc if we wanted. Some great roads and plenty of places to look at along the way. Register your interest on here. :-)

Damn youtube blocked at work. Will have to have a look tonight. Bummer about the original short Sulio. Give me & Lurch a yell if we can give you a hand.

I reckon you got a great buy. Keep us posted on your progress. Would love to see it on the road.

Dimitri you are the only Zed owner I know who does a lot of hard work modifying your car then undoing all the hard work reverting back to standard. :-\ Ha Ha Why the change back to standard?

Yeah Jeff we will work something out. Maybe a freeby. Give us a yell when notification is out that the DVD is done. Everyone who went on the trip will be contacted and sent one. I am sure we can do a few additional odd ones some how.

Well done Warren. I am the one with my head down praying not to drink too much that night. Hmmmmm By the way I just finished a write up on the trip. Should be able to get Gavin to put it up in the next few days. My appologies to some of the interstaters. I guess the comentary is mainly from the Vic contingent's experience. I hope it is OK. Cheers

That's not a bad idea Chris. Maybe we should save that for the next Thredbo Trip and have a period day when we meet on the oval and for dinner that night. Ha Ha. Someone will have to remind me for the next big trip.

I have been asked by James (The 370Z man) if I could ask around to see if people could share some old historical photo's of their classic Zeds. I think he is mainly after 69 models but is happy to see other models of pretty stock Zeds. It would seem he would like to possibly use some of these pictures for the article or promotional reasons with links from old Zeds to the new 370Z being the theme. So if you have some you would like to share then post them up here. He will check them out on here and contact me if he is interested and I can put him onto you. Lets see what we get. Regards

Belated. but aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh crap Rev. That is real bad news. You were so proud of the great work on your car. It looked great and I am sure you will get it back there again. Like Lurch says the Dent doctor might get most of them out. I used them to pull a dent out of my Territory after a motor bike bloke lent his elbow on the rear quarter. I wouldn't have beleived it if I didn't see the result myself. After an hour of tweaking you would know it was there. They do good work. Try not to park it for too long. Chin up mate.

Couple more.

A few more pics.

G'day boys. Well what a fantastic weekend. I appreciate all your thankyou's and it was my pleasure. I had an absolute ball and to everyone who turned up and made it a great relaxing trip I thank you guys for making it such a success. I didn't even realise this was the only 370Z in Australia and for those who missed it you can catch it at the motor show in a few weeks before they crush the little baby. I would also like to thank James and his crew for coming along. It really topped off the trip. I know it was only brief but I think everyone who attended was rapt to see your car. And what a great place to present a magnificent car on the grounds at Thredbo. Some of those photo's are just great. Will speak soon guys and look out for the DVD. Cheers.
