Happy New Year guys. Let's hope AUSZCAR is in for a big year of fun filled ZED action this year.

A lot of people at work will have problems with content on this site if their IT people know what they are doing. Plenty of things can and normally are blocked. I know ours won't allow a lot of photo's. But if you are on there a lot of the time at work then work might deny you access. They tried the same to me here but I got them to remove the block.

Hey Gavin, I was thinking it would be nice to have a register of all vehicles on this site. I am not sure if it has been done before on this site. I haven't seen anything. But it might be worth either setting up a S/Sheet of some description where members can go in and register there car with basic information. Car model (240/260 only), year, location (State/Country), rego, Owners name, serial number (optional) even the colour. I figure people could either go into this area and register their car or make it part of their log in (Bit of extra info). Then you could run various statistic based on the criteria later on. I am sure this information could become very valuable if everyone did it. In the past I have found most people like me can't be bothered getting off their butts and looking up their serial number. So maybe make that one optional. The most important part would be Make/Model/Location I reckon. Being a bean counter I would love to see some stats on this a year after the info was gathered. Might even help people track it's history. Might even pull in some more traffic as people offer to register. It would be awesome if the info was available instantly and the user could search using Column Titles to search. Might be a bit difficult initially but would be awesome to have. Keep in mind some people only view this site and don't register so it might want to be outside the login section in order to get more info from browsers ? Just an idea!

I think most people who own a Zed don't care what other people think about their cars. Sure we take pride in our cars and it would be nice if the old Zed was recognised for the great potential it has or has been modified to do. But the sad reality is most people will see it as a crapy Datsun. I say if you want a car that everyone will be impressed with, then go buy a name brand car that would most likely still be out performed by the Zed. But if you want something a little different that can go real well on the track (out perform most) and won't get much recognition from the mass's ignorant of it's potential then the 240Z-260Z is your car. For me, I don't care what people think of my car. But if I can beat Ferrarri's and Porsches around the track then that is enough satisfaction for me. I rocked up at the lights only last week next to a supercharged V8 T-Bucket Hot Rod. He kept looking at my car wondering what was under the bonnet of this "Datsun" since it made a bit of noise at idle. We had a go at the light's and I beat him by more than a car lenght to 120klms. "THAT"S WHAT I'M TALK'n BOUT" All show and no go!

OK I thought I better bring this thread back to life since we need to organise rooms & book for the weekend. Can the Vic guys please indicate if they plan on getting rooms on there own, with partners or want to share with fellow Zeders? I presume the ACT & NSW guys will need to do the same. Also please either let me know direct or on here when you have booked and what configuration. That way we get numbers and can organise around that. If there is a single out there wondering what is going on then they might be able to jump in with some other guys and reduce costs if they want to. Thanks

Sorry I am taking Friday off and going away for the weekend.

Ahhhh that will be the big blank spot on my page. Ha I'm in charge of the computer at work and have a number of things stopped or restricted access. I am tipping this will be one of them and why I can't see it. Will have to get on tonight at home and have a look. Thanks boys. And a pre-empted well done Sulio as I am sure it will be great.

Boy's, why can't I find the link to the video? Am I missing something.

I thought for when people are just browsing the "Latest Forum Activity" on the front page it might save some other interstaters going in to see when / where it is. Most people won't look at the sub heading of the forum post. I did the heading "Vic BBQ etc" when I raised on for us only. Otherwise we might have gotten twice as many hits. Just a suggestion.

Just a word of advise. This being a National forum you might want to put your State in the Subject matter. Then people will know which are the meeting will be. Who knows you might even get more local people responding. Just an idea.

Ha Ha that's deep Miika. Maybe I used a bad example. :-\ Getting in and out of hanging rock with 1,000 cars could be a pain in the butt. How was it for you Dale? Anyway Steff you keep on it and throw up a good event when one comes along. I am sure some people will be keen.

Good idea Steff. I would be in one or two if they were good events. I've always wanted to do the "Auto Salon" or some sort of big event. It's always fun to have a look around at some other great cars as well. Like you say someone needs to try and pick a few events.

I thought someone said they wanted a new bonnet the other day. Here is a contact. Tell her I sent you. :-) I have two 240z bonnets for sale. They are brand new genuine Nissan, in Nissan packaging. Rec Retail price is around $800.00. I want $590.00 each for them. Are you able to pop this in the mag or pass the word?

The sad news is that this event has been cancelled since the local Sandown residents had a whinge about noise. Steff I think you are the last one to be informed. You can email them for a refund. Shame would have been a great night. Oh well bring on a sprint there next year. (Just the twilight sessions are cancelled)

OK we seem to be getting a bit of interest on this trip. I just got a personal message from the old President of the Sydney Nissan Car Club. They are talking about getting 6-7 Zeds along on this trip as well. This is great news. Especially since most of those people came along to Tassie about 3 years ago when we got over 60 people on the trip. It was massive. All top people. I will keep you posted as I hear more. 15 to 20 Zeds in Threadbo. Now that would be a sight to see. Updated:- Craig - Definate - VIC Sulio - Definate - VIC Mayhem & Partner- Definate - VIC Bruce & Wife from Taralgon - Definate- VIC Wes & Maggie - Definate - VIC Glen from Dromana - VIC Glen's mate in his Z31 - VIC Lurch (Maybe) - VIC / WA Scott - ACT Alex & Shelly 300ZX - ACT Miika - Cdr Zero - ACT Chris - Most likely - ACT Surly_Z & Anna - ACT 6 or 7 Zeds - NSW

I tend to agree Lurch. I reckon you could tweak that one and it would be prefect. The other one looks to be a GTR with a modified front only. It needs the flowing lines at the back. Around the rear wind, hatch and over the wheel arch for my liking. Still both aren't bad.

I still reckon that picture is a better looking Lurch than in real life. This thread is almost getting to warm and fussy for me. Have a safe Christmas one and alll on this site. And thanks for the memories from last Saturdays BBQ.

Sounds great I take it we will see it at Thredbo.

Well done Warren. Looks good.

Sounds good Sulio. Even if we get Warren's write up on the board first and add the pictures and movies later. Warren might want to put a bit more detail in for our internal use? Not sure as I haven't seen his originial. I was going to write something but no use doubling up. Warren are you able to send Sulio and or I a copy so we can put it up on the site? Cheers. PS that would be awesome to get the event in a mag.

I think that date might be full now? If you are keen you better make a call quickly to lock your self in.

Unfortunatly I have something on tonight otherwise I would. Maybe the next month.

Ha Ha glad to have you on board Lurch. Should be a top night.

Good to hear guys. I would much prefer we all stay together. I just got off the phone and the rates are pretty good. Here they are including breakfast daily:- Double room $165.00 + Chairlift pass for 2 $15.00 Double + 2 singles $229.00 + Chair lift pass for 4 $20.00 Double + 3 singles $278.00 + Chair lift pass for 5 $30.00 Chairlift pass is normally $28.00 pp on the day. So get a one day pass in your package (More if you want to go up on the other spare day). We can decide which day, depending on the weather, we want to walk up to Kosiosko. I presume we all want to do this. I can tell you it is a fantastic walk. You do the sums per above and you will see that this "4 star" accommodation actually works out pretty cheap. I hope this is all OK with everyone. I am told there are plenty of vacancies for that weekend 20th to 23rd Feb at the moment so no mad rush to book yet. Lets firm up numbers and room combo's and book before Christmas though. http://www.totaltravel.com.au/link.asp?fid=616710 Please let me know who is in what room and who has booked what so I know we are all organised. It might be that some ACT guys might want to bunk in with Vic guys?? We can work that out over the next few weeks.
