Hey Graedat I can see now why you want a new ratio with 2,800rpm at 100klms. It might be cheaper for you to look at hooking up a different gearbox. Sounds to me like your problem is being created by the raitio in the Supra box.

Not a bad looking Zed. Remember sun roofs were all the rage back in the 70's. Unfortunately not so cool these days.

Yeah got a few from the old Club Lurch. A few haven't replied and a few have indicated they are coming but I didn't put them down just in case since they were maybe's. Ha yeah keep that one off the list Dimitri. I want this to be a nice relaxing day, we don't need any tension around the place caused by him. There are a few other people who have it in for him as well.

Rev can you get your hands on a Jumping Castle? Well my 2 kids will be there. Gordon has 3 and I am pretty sure a few more will be coming along. If you need a hand with the set up I am sure there will be no shortage of helpers. I can get there at 10 and I know Gordon will be happy to pitch in. Anyway the offer is there but it's up to you mate.

Matt I don't think the quality of the cars will be in question. We are just after Zeds. Most peoples are in various states of repair or upgrades. Beside most photo's of the group will be from a distance so I don't think anyone will notice some missing badges, I don't have any on my car. I think we are going to have over 20 Zeds at this rate. I have another 3 maybe's or most likely's. If we get real desperate Gordon has nother 3 old Zeds at the back of his shed (2 are parts cars & one with a V8) that we could push around. Ha Ha. But I don't think we will need them. This is going to be a big day.

I have a 3.36 R200 LSD but unfortunatly want to keep it as a spare diff. It is the only one I have heard of and was lucky enough to pick it up over 10 years ago. Keep looking and you might get lucky somewhere. I think there might be a few in the States.

Ash I know my brother has a trailer you could probably borrow if you have a tow car. Let me know if this is an option for you. Otherwise Dimitri might be able to get you down behind him. I am sure your car would attract a lot of attention. It's going to end up a bit of a Zed Concource with all these cars around.

Another nice Zed will be Rob Creighton's car. He lives sort of local but has been on our Tassie trip 3 times so his car goes real well. Top bloke. That is a possible 17 Zeds. Still waiting on a few more replies as well. At this stage it is looking like a big day with around 40 people expected along. Just remember it will be BYO meat & drink for the BBQ. Let's get Rev to have a word to the man up stairs for some nice weather. :-)

My understanding was that there was a casual Car display put on at Know every second Tuesday of the new month or something. Don't quote me on the date. There was some discussion after the last one and some people seemed to know how it worked. I was hoping they might chime in here. I think anyone can rock up on the night with a classic car and join in on the display. Well it's going to be a nice night but not 100% sure if it is on. I am half thinking of going down my self but only 50/50 at this stage unless someone could confirm it was on. :-\

2" Inches (or 60mm) should do the job. But that all depends on how well your exhaust hangs. The lower the better but of course you have to be practical.

Dimitri, a lunch time engagement party. Come at 11am to get your car in the picture then head off around 11.30. Bit rushed but sometimes you got to fit as much in as you can.

Hi guys. there was a bit of discussion regarding this event a while back so I put it in the diary. Does anyone know if it is on tomorrow night? If so is anyone going?

Plenty of people quote all sorts of numbers when it comes to HP. most are honest, some exagerate and then others are miss led by dodgy Dyno settings. Just because a car has a V8 doesn't mean it is fast or has loads of HP. My question would be what times was the guy doing around Sandown and was he on slicks?

7th Zed will be Matt Freemans green Zed. I think we might have Wes & Maggies Zed as well (they have been on all our Tassie drives). Lurch are you coming home mate?

Hi guys. I was talking with Sulio on the weekend and we have confirmed a date being Saturday 6/12/08 for this event "How many Zeds in a row" picture shoot. We are aiming to get 20 Zeds along. We will spend an hour chatting and taking some photo's of all the Zeds in various positions. From there we would have a BBQ (BYO) in the pleasant settings amongst the trees and then for those still keen go for a drive afterwards up the Black Spur and on to Lake Mountain if people were real keen. The drive is optional, I guess the main purpose would be for the photo shoot and a bit of a BBQ before Christmas. So partners & family are more than welcome as we want to make this a relaxed get together. Please signify your interest on here so we get an indication of numbers. Remember we are aiming for 20 Zeds or more. Gordon has two 240's Craig's V8 Zed Sulio's 260/240 Lurch Matt Freeman Steff XRQTR Luis LC260Z Rev Mayhem Ol_SKL_JP Spamaster240Z John ZEDLS .....so that is 13 Zed cars to start with. I have a another 5 or so in the pipeline. Hope to see you all there.

At this meeting we will also be talking about the Thredbo Run in Feb. So can you guys give it some serious thought and if the numbers are there I will lock in a date and confirm it's on. We have a few definate starters including Sulio. A couple more would be great to make it an awesome trip. I am sure partners would be welcome on this one as it would make for a nice short break.

Why not trailer your race car Ash. Someone will be able to get you a loan trailer for the day for nothing.

I put in a relay and got 90/130watt globes put in. Now she is like a normal car.

So if any NSW & ACT guys are interested in this get together then please respond on this forum otherwise it might not happen. I thought a few more people in Vic would be interested in a long weekend away with there Zed?? We can discuss at our 19th Nov meeting. This drive would run from a Friday to Monday, will require 2 days off to make it a good trip (not so rushed). 3 nights in the Village. Tassie guys are more then welcome as we will be down to see you the year after (Feb '10)that one is locked & loaded.

OK what Lurch said. We should organise the photo shoot with the Zmas BBQ. And the Thredbo trip will be run seperately and we can easily do it again if enough people turn out there. Having said that only 3 people have replied to say they want to come to Thredbo. Then I read here we could get maybe 4 people from ACT. Well unless you reply to the other forum and tell me you want to join in with the Thredbo trip then I won't know. :-\ If I don't know and only get 3 reply's then this trip won't happen. So please respond to the proper Thread guys, then I will get the ball rolling if enough interest. As ffor the photo shoot. Hmmm not sure about on the median strip in Chranes Road. A bit public. Not sure how some low cars will go getting up the gutter medium strip. No where for a BBQ on site and it maye even be illegal! Parking fines etc. We should be able to find a park somewhere if you didn't want to go to Wandin (Lilydale). I don't see how a 30-60minute drive would be a hassle for most people. Another good idea would be to take a heap of photo's and then pick the best ones for a "Zed Calendar for next year. That would be pretty cool for everyone to buy for around $10-. So a picturesque place would be nicer than factories in the back ground in my opinion.

OK let's pencil in Wednesday week 12/11/08 and see if everyone can make it.

Hi guys I wanted to see how many people were interested in doing a Zed drive to Threadbo around February next year. I figure not only Vic people but some NSW & ACT people might want to come along as well. For the Vic people it is around a 5.5 to 6 hour drive. But it is a pretty cruisy drive to Threadbo. I figure one day drive up, two day stay at the resort village and one day drive home. Plenty of things to do and places to drive when we are there. We could all walk to the top of Australia's tallest mountain Mt Kosiosco to fill in a day. 13klms return walking on a great track. Even my 5 year old son made it so no excuses. Another day up there you could hire some mountain bikes, go for a drive or simply chill out. I can tell you the Village has a great atmosphere and a trip like this would certainly be memorable especially if we met up with heaps of interstaters. This would be the off year from the bi-annual trip to Tasmania which will be on again in Feb'2010. So let me know if you are interested whether from Vic or interstate and I will get the ball rolling if enough interest. I attached a few photo's of some great weather up there, even swam in the pool (28deg day) where we stayed and a shot of how the mountain bikes get up the hill on the chairlift which also leads to the start of the walking track. http://www.totaltravel.com.au/link.asp?fid=616710

Hey Sulio are you back from holidays yet? We are probably over due for another meeting. Since the weather is on the improve is your work still available for the next mid week qtly meeting. Could probably fire up your BBQ in the next few weeks. Then we could finalise some details on this end of year mass Zed meet! Let us know if you have a proposed date.

Well it would be great if we could take over a big park somewhere but that might be a bit of organising. If you want a casual thing my brother is on 5 acres of land in Wandin North (near Lilydale). He has a vacant block next to him (his 2.5 acres) He could mow that and we could get all the cars parked on there for the photo shoot. Then we would also have amenities for a BBQ lunch etc. Plenty of room for kids to run around. I think some of you have been there before. He has a couple of nice Zeds we could add to the list as well. Just an idea if we can all make it out that far. Then we could even go for a drive afterwards. I reckon we could get maybe 20 Zeds. That would be pretty impressive. I personally think we could do a National thing at Threadbo. Pretty central to NSW & ACT but I am really not sure how much interest we could generate. But I would be willing to drive there in a seperate event around Feb.

It might be engineered but not sure you would get a road worthy for it.
