Merry Christmas to all ;D Wishing everyone a fantastic 2009, enjoying the best line of sports cars ever made (IMHO)

Hi Thomas, welcome& it was great to meet you the other night, a fine Zed you have!

Oh yeah? what about George & his daily? Btw, what happened to you last meet?

so what if your headlights get brighter with the revs just turn up, catch a bus if you have to! Not everyone always turns up in their Zeds..... I'll be showing up in my work car. Pauly, bring your bike, I'll dust off my Arai Haga!

Onya Pauly, May I suggest PM'ing on request a bank account number for donations because I know that paypal is a rip-off in commissions? I would be happier knowing 100% of my donation is going to running the site. Also maybe not everyone has a paypal account.

yep, here it is:

In that case I will give you'se (sic) all buzz & see where you're at.

I reckon it looks alright. Good for the rainy days when you don't want to take the S30 out. I know its hard, but people should really stop trying to compare the 350/370Z's with the S30's. Not a fan of this one, it draws too much from the R35 GTR

Sorry boys can't make this one, don't finish work till 7.30pm & since I'm not welcome to turn up in my work car..........

Those that turned up to our last meet will recall my Zed was running like a pig due to fouled plugs. Removed and inspected they were very black and wet. They were Denso VW16R-A13's (Iridium) fitted by previous owner. Went to my local trusty Robbo's store and was told that the Denso's were not a good choice. He asked me about how I use my Zed, which is I am lucky to drive it once a week and if it has points or electronic ignition. So for electronic ig & regular use he suggested the BP6ES-11 but since I have points & hardly drive it he recommended BP5EY. $3.95 each & Bobs your uncle.

well done guys looks like you all had an awesome time. Hopefully we can organise something up here but my backyard don't look like that!

Mines a late '76 2 seater, only on one side but don't know if there was one over the drivers side..

Welcome Kenny, Not sure if you can make it, but some of the Sydney boys are meeting up in 1hr 15 mins! (7pm ish) Maccas at Paramatta Rd Burwood Some of the usual suspects are mrp69-Peter, mr240z-Pauly, George...George, Mike,Brabham..............

Hi Pauly, there is 3 of the best (well in my opinion anyway) Pizza joints in Sydney there-Dolissimo (me,Peter& George went there last time you chucked a sickie), La Disfida and Napoli in Bocca. Also Thai restaurants if you like. Easy parking as well. Can't wait to see your nice new bonnet

If we are going to eat & chat how about meet at carpark on corner of Ramsay & Gillies Haberfield?

Should be ok for it

Quote from ebay listing "From what I've been able to piece together, the car was imported from Japan in the mid 80's, owned by a priest until the late 90's when my boss purchased it."End Quote. Go on Reverendzed, here is your calling!

I'm no expert but judging from blank plugs for the fender mirrors, fairlady Z badging the ID tags I would say yes it is a JDM

Sorry guys, love to take the Zed out for a spin but working late both Weds & Thurs nite :-\

How about the choke lever, any problems in that regard?

Just a question regarding using the R31 box in a S30, would this place the gearstick too far forward and hitting the standard console?

Pauly, are you going to help me a build a 11.93 sec Zed? Mate I would love to get a project 240Z, but Peter is buying them up left, right & centre and driving prices up! Besides I still have 2 120Y's, one needs work. I'm not going to do anything irreversible, I can always put the stock steering wheel back anytime.

Thinking of a new steering wheel for my Zed. Never used a Nardi before, does anyone know where they sell them in Sydney? I already have a momo boss so I'm thinking of going to my old favourite Montecarlo or something else old school like the Prototipo Nardi

Yep, I'll second that, or third that ! Welcome Alex. Hopefully the Zed will grow on you like the VW's. What is it with VW's and Zeds? First we had William (ZD44TT) with his 260Z and MkI Golf (sold the WRONG car I reckon) and also Brabham with his 260Z and also MkI Golf!

What if it rains the forecast isn't good. I don't really mind, I haven't washed the Zed since the concours
