620Z

No worries. Yeah Rick wouldn't be keen on taking the motor out or anything like that. Main thing is that it's getting under way.

Ahhh shit DevilZ. I'm sorry to hear that. Yeah Rick's main thing is the spray painting and custom body work. But he obviously isn't in to (Suspension, steering rack,strut, shock, disk, engine mount etc) work. Certainly not modified stuff like you say. His main game is panel beating or repair work. I wouldn't be getting him to do any of my mechanical work on my car. That goes elsewhere. I thought you said it was just panel damage. Obviously when bit's come off the real damage is reveialed. I'm sorry to have given you a bit of a bum steer on this one. Nothing worse than having the car at some elses place. Hopefully Style Rod will do the job right. Keep me posted I will be interested to hear about their work. I guess it's better Rick moves it to someone better suited than trying to attempt something that isn't his specialality and stuffing it up. :-\

Grammer police on the grammer guru Lurch! New or knew. I am a hopeless speller myself but I got to get you sometime.

I think Glen had a slow day yesterday.

I meant to go out and have a look. But I forgot it was on. Damn! I only sat around watching the cricket too.

No definately not Scott. In fact my understanding is a lot of these guys drifted away from the Sydney Nissan Club because of politics etc. A bit like the Vic NDSOC. As such I was told they had been planning on organising such a trip outside of the Club for years but never gotten it locked down. When a member on this site "Geoff" saw this he got his crew together and locked in the dates to coincide with ours. Not really sure why they are staying off the mountain, they might have some deal going or a contact or something. Many of these people made it to our Tassie trip a few years ago so I will be glad to catch up with them. My phylosophy is the more the merrier, especially if they are in Zeds. I am hoping this will be the stepping stone to rope some of you interstaters down to Tassie a year later. 14 Zeds in Thredbo will be pretty impressive. Get the camera's out. They have a nice green oval in the village we might be able to park on for a few shot's. Another good place is Sharlots Pass with some awesome high country back ground. Better bring the wash bucket.

Nice site Sinisha and cheap. Would be good if your car was a bit loud for around town or some tracks.

Hey Scottie I am not sure if I am missing anyone from my list on the other thread. Are you able to list the names on here and I will update my list if anyone is missing. Also what sort of car they are driving. thanks

Ahhh I love it when a plan comes together. I reckon this will be a big event, even if we are missing a few Victorians. They will just have to tell us how they wish they came along when Sulio put's the video together. Let's hope the weather is kind to us. It will be great to meet up with all the interstaters from ACT & NSW. We will have to book a restaurant for the Saturday night where we can all get together for a big dinner.

Simon & Miika might want to list their email address's or send a PM to Sulio so you get on the email list. Well done Scottie for roping in some more of your locals. Should be a good trip. Let's see how many you can drag down to Tassie the year after.

Guys have a look at this site to give us some ideas for activities whilst up there for two days, apart from eating & drinking. I am still keen to do the Kosiosko walk on of the days (12klm round trip from memory). http://www.thredbo.com.au/activities-and-events/summer-activities/ Regards

Looks nice. Shame it's not here in Vic where we could see it on a cruise.

Updated list confirmed at present. Craig - Vic Sulio - Vic Lurch - Vic Wes & Maggie - Vic Scott - ACT Chris - ACT Simon - ACT Miika - ACT Josh - ACT + Anna, Alex & Shelly Vince - NSW Geoff - NSW 3 others - NSW 5 Cars from NSW confirmed 15/1/09. They are staying in Jindabyne but intend to meet up with us at Thredbo) All up 15 Zeds. Not bad. Some maybe's who haven't confirmed back to us or dropped off the radar. Please give us a yay or nay? Lui - Vic Mayhem & Partner Bruce & Wife Glen & his mate from Dromana I hope I haven't missed anybody. I have a spare CB for someone in Vic if needed for any of those maybe's. I know all the confirmed Vic guys have them.

Well done DevilZ. Rick will look after you and do a top notch job. The good thing with him is he get's on with the job and doesn't muck around. He should call you to keep you up dated if not call him regularly for updates. That's what I did to keep it moving. I used to drop in every Saturday to check each weeks progress. He didn't mind and you get to tweak a few things along the way. Cheers.

Wes & Maggie have confirmed to me they are starters. So they will be meeting us Victorians around Bonnie Doon and driving up with us in there Blue 260Z. They are booking their own accommodation as we speak.

Are you taking the fender/guard mirrors off?

Good on you Josh & Lurch. Sulio you better update your confirmed list above. Josh I presume you will liase with Scott for the trip over. I think we might have a few people on holidays or off line who confirmed they were coming before. Their silence is defening. Ha Ha. I presume they might be back next week. 3 Vic & 2 ACT member's, 3 family and 6 or 7 cars from NSW. There will be more soon I am sure.

Yeah I agree Gavin. Plenty will be visiting the site. That's why I had a laugh when I saw the advertisment for the GO Road cruise. Maybe they will get a truck load of fully sick VL's turn up for that drive.

Evan I would also paint the flared guards the similar grey (Not black) and it would look pretty good! Certainly original.

Wholly Crap. A half page article on the front page of the Herald Sun. Man this is not good advertising for the NDSOC. Yet they have another drive advertised on their website down the Great Ocean Road in March. If they had half a brain I am not sure I would have that up at the moment.

Yeah a GTiR. His motor was fully worked. Spent almost as much as me on his car I reckon with all the development and Engine / Gear Box repairs. He must have been going round a bend since he was only doing 170klms.

Yeah I feel sorry for the old boy. I think I know who the other car was as well. A lot of good the signing of the NDSOC "Code of Conduct" did before the drive. Talk about some bad press for the NDSOC. This sort of info will go National.

Ahh thats the one. That car was beautiful. Let's hope it gets back in the same condition again. Yeah there are some crazy people on the road. Me one of them at times. Mind you in those instances I have always kept driving and lost them because you never know what they will do or me for that matter. It's not worth it. Some times people need to stop and think about what they are getting so angry about and just let it go. Mind you I know it's easier said than done on occassions. Good luck with the repairs.

That sounds like a nasty incident Devilzed. You need to decide if you want a Zed specialist or just the best repairer. The guy who did a 20K make over on my Zed would be one of the best around. He even pained Crazy John's Lambo years ago. Anyway he is very fussy and takes pride in his work. Not to mention very honest. His name is Rick based at Ted Naylor Bodyworks in Ringwood. Phone number 9879-2179. Not a Zed specialist but can still do anything you want as he did to my car. He had every panel off my car for the bare metal respray, etc etc so it's not like it would be hard for him. Like you say it's getting the dedicated worker that is the hard part to find. Give him a call and tell him I gave you his details and he should look after you. That's one option anyway. I'm sorry I never got to see your car.

Hi Scott. Yeah hopefully you are able to chase up some ACT guys to bunk in with. We will let you know if we hear of anything down here in Vic who is looking for a roomy. Hopefully the rest of you VIC guys can start your bookings. I know that 6 or 7 cars are booked from NSW. Please update on this site when booking is made so we can keep tabs on who is coming. Closer to the time I dare say we will just direct email each other on the final detail.
