Alternator PMSL happened to me yesterday, funniest thing is I just replaced the old althernator that was overcharging the day before.

Just throwing it out their for now but I think that everyone that might be interested should check out the site that Rev put up the link to and put up what might interest them. That way we can pull them together and see which ones are the more popular of the lot.

Well first cab off the rank is a show-n-shine event in Bacchus Marsh on the 1st of Feb, it's $10 for entrants and $5 for spectators, here's a link, it's for a good cause so should make you feel warm and fuzzy inside http://www.showandrally.com.au/

Numurkah was this Sunday just passed so if people want to do an annual picnic/get together within the Z forum/Z community (alot of /ing LOL) this could be a good as it is in fact more of a family oriented event. I know some of the Ford clubs go up their mainly for that reason plus it's a very friendly atmosphere. Mayhem what date was the Cora Lyn show?? and dale what date is the Hanging Rock one, we could maybe incorporate these three as they are well spread out geographically and allow more of the regional members to be able to participate. From what I know they are pretty close together on the calender so this could be a good thing as that way you have all year to prepare then a few weeks within which to keep them super clean and fresh. We could spread them out through the year if people would prefer but I really think it might be a good idea to have them closer, that way we know the show season has arrived and all get into the mood with a BBQ at Sulio's work for a quick get together before it all starts. I'll have a look at some possible shows over the next few days to see what's out their, but in the mean time if you have one that you would like to bring to the attention of the group by all means please do. This will save me some time and put up shows that people have attended, either as a spectator or an entrant, this way we have first hand experience of what the atmosphere is like and how well we might fit in.

Craig Auto Salon is primarily for late model cars or those with late model engine conversions, so anyone running RB or SR engines would be ok. I could ask about a club display as they are primarily Japanese cars so I think we could get in being a classic Jap car and most of us being modified in some way. What I'd like to see at the moment is people putting up events that they know of or have attended in the past, we could check them out via there web pages and maybe have a chat at the next meeting about which ones might be best suited. So if anyone has any particular shows they'd like to throw into the hat then go for it, I know Picnic at Hanging Rock is a huge event getting well over 1000 cars every year. I was talking to a fella yesterday who siad the Geelong Speed Trials are back on so this might be another one, could also be part of the Forum race calender , as well as having a club display. Also how about some of the less time/speed based tarmac rallies around the VIC/SA/NSW/TAS regions, this could be a fun weekend event socializing and spreading the Zed gospel to other classic enthusiasts.

Just reading over some old threads (Revs Car Show to be exact) I thought it might not be a bad idea to possibly do a couple of shows, maybe more if people are keen. Most people will have there cars on the road by sometime next year if they're not already so why not go out their and help the good Reverend spread the word of Zed, be his apostles perhaps. It's great when you see one or two at a show but imagine seeing a dozen or so shiny Zeds all lined up in a row. The added bonus of course is that it could add a new dimension to the club social calender, even if you can't show your car at the event you could still possibly attend thereby making it an AusZcar social event as well. Just a thought but I really think it would be good for all here as that way we could get the Zeds together more often as well as getting out and off the computers So if anyone would like to make some suggestions of shows we could get a start on possibly setting some dates in so we'd have plenty of time to do what needs to be done, ie. finishing off engine bays and interiors and paint and the like.

Obviously not in a rush to sell

Did anyone ever hear from this guy, I know I didn't get a response to my pm

Not a brown one is it??

Well I've just changed mine over to the Feb 14 full track day, better this way (for me LOL) as I don't have to rush getting suspension and tyres and everything else done before next week. I just noticed it's right after the Thredbo thing, makes no difference for me, I'm a 99.9% for Thredbo but would most likely do a 2 night/3 day thing anyway so would still give me a full day to prep.

After hearing this I rekn this aint such a bad idea

Ye got the call, but I found it strange he wanted my bank details when I payed by Visa, I said can't you just reverse the payment he said he's at home and doesn't have all the details, so I said I'd be in touch with the girls in the office. Well Winton still run Friday nights don't they?? Bit of a hike but still could make it happen if you're all still keen, just a thought. Hey what if we swap it for the Feb 14th full track day?? Just looked at the calender and it's not booked out yet

You can have the 3rd, the 1st I'll lock away and the second will be my daily, I wonder how many ATM's I'd need to blow up??

Hey Mayhem, had meant to ask you on Saturday but didn't get a chance, just wondering who cut your Fairlady Z decals bud??

It's no reserve anyway so he has to sell at $100 if thats all it gets

mmmmmmm, I think I will need some kleenex, back in a bit http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2008/08/datsun-240z-fairlady-z-retro-concept.html

It did have, cocky little bastard must think because of all the attention he might get a few more dollars over that. Do me a favor guys wait until the last few minutes to put your bids on and leave it at $100 till then, I hate guys that think they are smarter than everyone else and play funny buggers like that.

Go the black bonnet and fender mirrors then, if no ZG then go 432 look

MMMMMM some flares, 17" RB-Rs and a black bonnet would look pretty shmicko

Not bad only one typo I spotted, but dude, you forgot the Mikuni's and flares

I'm assuming the prices are in U.S. $ but still this is pretty good value really. http://www.k-mac.com.au/pages/newprods/datsun/datsun_coil_jackers.htm

Are Z's ok at something like this, I was always under the impression it was pretty much V8 muscle?? Otherwise I may go if I have the time, what time does it start??

Ye just rang em, you do need a fire extinguisher but no cams licence, helmet of course and long sleeve top and pants. Might have to get the coil overs sooner than I thought LOL, the back end dives in when I power out of the corners, means I have to also get my ignition sorted as well as give Wilson carbs another visit.

Ye just left a msg on Sulio's phone telling him to get his lazy ass onto the track, I mean shit it's only around the corner from where the car sleeps anyway. ye will check but I think these are like driver ed days so should be good.

Payed and confirmed yeeeehaaaa Ok so Craig is it the usual shit with the requirements?? Helmet, long sleeve pants and top, no nylons??
