620Z

If any of you guys in Rowville are up for the drive on the 15th then let me know and we can arrange to convoy to Lilydale if you like.

Ah, Even had a few runs in my Territory up to Buller a few weeks back. He was surprised how fast it was and asked how it compared to my Zed. But yeah I guess he will get the full deal on the 15th.

Ha no worries Even. Can you make it to Lilydale? If so then no problems jumping in my car for a while if you like. Then you will see what I meant about the diff in power between a Turbo Territory and a V8 Zed.

I'll be there for this one.

I don't think anyone will mind a WRX along. The more the merryer!

I will be there and this time make sure I have some nice new spark plugs in. First time all plugs had all fueled up and the car wouldn't start for the last run. Damn! Anyway the car is all raring to go. See you on the 15th. Marysville has a nice big Hot Bread place for a snack and plenty of parking out the back. I will suss out a BBQ venue for lunch. Sulio I am guessing you might get a bit video crazy on these roads as well. Ha

I know Daniel Moore pretty well and I highly recommend him for getting your car right. He owns a few Zeds him self. Even brought one off my brother. He races his car every now and then (Sprints) so he is good. Honest reliable. Something hard to find from a mechanic these days.

Well I am away on leave all next week. I would say the Wednesday after that 5/12/07 but I think we were going to organise a road trip for the day up to Lake Mountain, either weekend 8-9 or 15-16 December. I think Sulio was going to pick a day and post something. So maybe we should just wait for that and meet up, even if you don't plan on going on the road trip.

you won't need two Pumps with a Holley Blue. I don't run out of fuel pressure on the track running full stick with the 825cfm. So you should be OK. Instal a pressure guage with the one pump (plus your regulator) and you will know where you stand. Pretty silly to have two if not needed. Think of the weight. Ha. Can always put it back on if required but I would be surprised. I do know people who run two but not with a Blue. Have fun.

Fufu it's the nature of the business. Not just one supplier. You will get a million hold ups or ppoor service. But you have to persist if you want to make head way with a Zed. And never burn your bridges. It's a limited resource for Zed parts and good workman ship on our cars so bear that in mind because you might find you need them one day. Patience and persistance will get you what you want in the end.

Thanks for that warren. I didn't put in the 81 so I might give that a try. Although I ended up also getting a contact in the States by Gavin which is for new ones. Pretty expensive. Now all I have to do is work out whether I get used, slightly scratched ones or new ones. I will make a decision today and let Yellazed know. Thanks for everyones help.

Anymore takers? Otherwise, if only two we can organise something else later.Cheers

Well if I through a date out there of Wednesday 21/11/07 to meet at the Stamford Hotel Car park for a chat about the cars say 7pm. Maybe a drink or go for a drive up Belgrave / Emerald way and back. Only an hour or so. Also depending on weather. I am away the week after and then a week or two after that Sulio might be locking in another weekend day drive. For that one I am thinking 8th or 15th drive down the Peninsula. I know some awesome roads. Just putting the feelers out at this stage. So let us know if you are interested.

Thanks heaps guys. I reckon I will bid on those. If I get them I think I will get some contacts and get another few sets made up locally. Maybe even go into production. Ha Ha. I now have a contact for the plastic glass since I was checking that route yesterday. I will also try that US place and see what they have on offer. I might even end up with a set which will be great. I would paint or powder coat the metal rims Red same as the car to help them blend in with the car more. Especially since I don't have any chrome on my car anymore. This net working is pretty good. I always seem to get there in the end, but I won't count my chooks till they are in my hot little hand. Will keep you posted.

May I suggest Mazda MX5 electric mirrors. That is what I used and they came up fantastic. Bit expensive though. A cheaper way to go is the early Mazda RX7 mirrors electric. They were my second choice. Can get then easily at the wreckers for maybe $100- or less.

Overseas fax number didn;t work. Back to square one again.

G'day Warren. Well they have a picture of a set on that site. Not sure how much lick I will have with a fax. But I will give it a try. Otherwise if you are heading over there again and dropping in there I would ask if you could get me a set if they have them in stock. I presume they do since they have a picture of them. As long as they don't cost a grand. Ha

Pick a day Monaraz. This can be your gig. But not this Sunday. The surf will be going off and huge so I will be heading down the coast. This Saturday could be a goer. It's meant to rain but we probably won't get much. I am away the following two weekends. Otherwise like Sulio says. Maybe we should meet up one evening next week and go for a spin afterwardsd?

Yeah I can't get Sulio's either. For the record we had around 3-4 extra Zeds that didn't quite make it to our final destination on top of Buller. Those were the day trippers which we were happy to have along for 80% of the trip. . We wlso had a few othere's in foreign cars that we kept out of these pictures. So numbers were pretty good really.

Thanks Lurch. Joel that being the case you could easily join the Nissan Datsun Sports Owners Club NDSOC and that should get you ready to get onto the Track if that's what your after. I am a member of this club although it's floundering a bit at the moment. If you need any more info let me know.

Unfortunately the Japanese contact email address was invalid. So I have hit a dead end yet again. I am thinking this might be easier if I got a hold of Wal's covers and got 5 sets of copies made up. I know a few people want a set and figure 5x$300- I should be able to get someone to make up something very similar. And maybe $200- to go to Wal for lending us the template. What do you reckon?

Thanks Wal. I have sent them an email. I presume the people you got yours from don't have anymore? Maybe if I had there contact details they might be able to source a set for me? Cheers

Thanks Wal. I sent you PM reply. I hope it worked. But that would be great if you can see if your contact has anymore. Sounds like your car is coming along nicely. I will be looking forward to seeing it back on the road. Where are you based?

To get into some sort of racing or Club Sprints with your car you need to join a CAMS Affliated Car Club around $100-. From there you need to purchase a CAMS Licence Level 2 for $80- odd. Then you can go on or attend any Club Sprint Days not just Nissan ones. Many Clubs welcome along cars of any make or model. Cost for a track day depends but is around $120- for the day. that generally gets you 4 to 4 outings onto the track with 3-4 hot laps. then the cost of tyres, petrol, car problems and trying to better your times and going faster. $1,000-s. You get my drift. What state are you in?

You may not physically notice the difference. But rest assured it will be doing something to tighten up the car.
