620Z

I was just looking on the site and Wallace (YELLAZED) has just posted some pictures of his nice new V8 Zed that seems to be coming along nicely. He has a picture of the Head Light Covers which I am after. Does anyone know where I can get these or how to contact him? I am hoping he might read this. I have Pm'd him. Not sure if he will see it plus I have tried his email address which is no longer valid. Thanks

I would be up for a catch up locally. I have been in Rowville for 15 years now. We could alway butch it up and meet at the Pub? (Stamford) Then go for a drive afterwards. I am easy when it comes to venues.

Hi guys I had a great trip. Thanks for coming along. We all seem to get on very well and easy going which is fantastic. Wasn't the weather sensational. Very cruizy drive, not too rushed, plenty of time to take in the scenery and atmosphere. Let's do that day trip in a month or so. Don't worry Joel some of us have other halves so Deb wouldn't be on the outer all the time. Just depends on the trip, time and where we are going on whether we bring along the ball and chain. Cheers

I agree. You wouldn't beleive how much a Zed body flex's even from normal driving on the road. Count yourself lucky some hard work has been done.

Leave it there if you can get it registered like that. The top one looks like it is removable. But Zeds are natorious for having a lot of movement at the front because of the long nose. So that would go a long way to fixing it if you were planning on doing some reasonable driving.

Go the second one. Go the more pay plus it sounds more fair dinkum. The first would just be using you up and probably never get far nor will it hold to much credibility when using it as a reference for future. Go the money since it ight only be short term then even if you don't like it the pay is reasonable plus you have a base to work on to negotiate if you went for another job later on. Good luck.

Lunch stop will be at Mansfield 12.30 ish. But as previously mention my brother and a few mates will head up through the Black Spur with us and then they will be turning off to do Lake Mountain and then home to his place for a BBQ. You could join in with them if you wanted a shorter journey with some more twisty roads in the morning. Having said that I am pretty sure a few othere one dayers will be making up to Mansfield with us. I think we have around 8 stayers for the night on the Mountain. See you all tomorrow morning 9.30 with a full tank of fuel and handhelds at the ready on chanel 16. The weather is going to be perfect for it.

Nice two way Lurch. How much and where did you get it? I want another one for home and was thinking of going all out on the 5 Watter.

G'day guys. Just a reminder about the drive up to Mt Buller we have on this coming weekend. We are meeting at 9.30am Saturday morning opposite Nissan in Lilydale in the "Mitre 10' car park. I want to leave around 9.45 so don't be late. Please also fill up with petrol before arriving in Lilydale as there is nothing worse than starting a drive with people stopping for fuel and splitting the drive group before we have gone anywhere. Remember to get hold of a 2-way radio if you can, we will meet on channel 16 at this stage. My brother and a few mates might rock up in there 240Z and 350Z for the drive through the Black Spur with us. The weather is looking perfect for non air-con cars at 23-24deg days. Will see you soon for a few beers on top of the Mountain.

Sounds like all of us in Rowville need to meet up somewhere if your not coming on our drive to Buller. Maybe we can catch up at the next Zed Car meeting.

I only use a Holley Blue fuel pump because I have an 825cmf carby on my V8. So triples might be a little different and not require as much fuel. Check on that. But mine used to be as noisy as yours at one point. It drove me crazy. Over time and a few mounting changes seemed to do the trick for me. But yeah I know how an untuned car or even noisy fuel pump can dampen your enthusiasm from driving your car. After spending all that cash sometimes it's hard to find that little bit extra to make everything perfect. But it's worth it. Persistance pays off.

Hey Modular9 I have a holley blue fuel pump on my car since I have a V8 I need it. Anyway yeah they are noisy bastards. A heads up it all comes down to how and where you mount it. Mine was originally mounted on my fuel tank so it made a hell of a racket. finally moved it to the moustash bar and also mounted it using rubber cromets to absorb the vibration and noice. Before this it used to vibrate and the hurmonics would run through the whole car. JP240Z I hear so many people having troubles tuning triples. Everyone reckons they know what to do but the truth is there are not that many people around who can properly tune them especially for the road. I could put you on to someone in Melbourne but not sure where you are located. Persist with it since you have spent all that cash but spend a little more for some dyno time with someone who knows what they are doing.

Welcome to the army of Zed owners Joel. You live just around the corner from me. I am in Rowville so let me know if you need any advise on mod's or upgrades. Enjoy

Hi Joel, Per above we will be meeting at 9.30am in Lilydale opposite the Nissan Car Yard. I imagine you won't be able to miss a few Zeds parked on the side of the road around that time. I am not sure on numbers or groups for accommodation. Since not everyone has gotten back to me people might just bunk in or book a room on the day. For you and all others it is helpful if you can get a hold of a 2-way hand held radio. Cheers

Thanks for the heads up on that site in Bayswater "Aegean" I might do some investigation on that one. I know these are pretty new inovation but it could be an easier instal as long as I could be convinsed on the speed sensitivity issue. Plus less taxing on the power which is always a goo thing. Would save a lot of mucking around with steering racks etc. I am also guessing not cheap. I will let you know what I find.

Thanks for trying Lurch but no cigar at my end. Must be our set up at this end. Never mind. Cheers

Damn I have tried a few different variations and still can't get the site up. Any chance of someone posting on here direct?

Just a reminder if you are coming please get a hold of or buy a Hand Held Radio. These things are great and helps us all keep in touch, warn people of any dangers, break downs and organise pit stops etc. It also stops people getting lost or lonely if you are in your car on your own. Ha. Anyway see what you all can do. Highly recomended for trips like this so you will use it again. Minimum of 1watt 2-5watt if you have enough cash.

There is a Red Zed in the states with them on. I am still not sure about them. But since they weigh a ton (aparently) so I won't be getting them. Can't have that weight slowing me down.

Links didn't work but am interested since I plan on putting some power steering in my car after this summer.

I used a place here in Melbourne called Ted Naylor Bodyworks in Ringwood. He was fantastic and even did the late Crazy Johns Lambo. He was very accommodating to the many odd things I had done such as:- Welding in my sun roof, attaching a G-Nose, flaring guards 20mm front and rear, welding up various holes, instaling side indicator vents etc etc. Absolute quality work and after car when I have been back since. Highly recommended from me.

Correction to above rates for Mt Buller. Is $265- for 2 in a suit + $65- for an axtra person. Phone number is 5777-6566 to make a booking. http://www.mtbullerchalet.com.au/index.php See you all on the 10th. Owe, and so we know who is coming or to wait for on the morning please confirm on here or to me on email so we don't miss you.

OK we plan on meeting up at 9.30am Saturday 10th November and come home on the Sunday. Since there are a lot of maybe's please bare in mind that if you are coming you will need to book accommodation. So you might have to make a decision at some point. I won't be booking numerous rooms on maybe's especially since you have to pay a deposit. We will be staying at the 4.5 Star Mt Buller Challet. You can get two story multi bedroom apartments but they are expensive $320- (incl cooked buffet breakfast) if there are only two of you I think. Get 4 in there and you will be laughing that's why I was after positive numbers to work out accom but looks like I will leave it to the maybe's to organise them selves. It has a gym, in door pool and great restaurant. Although there is a cheaper place to eat up there. Cheers

That 280 sounds like quite a find given the klms on the clock. I know they are not as desirable but it sounds like it would be a good car. Is it garaged? If so then I would buy it if my kids were a bit older.
