  1. Hey guys, just saw this on jdmstyletuning.com.. http://www.upgarage.com.au/products/exterior/index.html
  2. congrats.. i can feel your eagerness from here lol
  3. Theres a list of accredited engineers on this website http://www.carpoint.com.au/Tig/Minisite/Minisite.aspx?alias=carpointau&id=6659
  4. Im still waiting for my copy too =( i guess a good part of the $29 we pay is for the individual freight from the US
  5. Not just storing it safely, theres also the problem of creating the hydrogen such that it makes sense to move away from oil. Methods used commercially to produce hydrogen are really inefficient and expensive right now. They either create the same amount of emissions as, or more than, their petroleum equivalents either because of the massive amounts of electricity(from our aging coal fired plants..) they consume, or simply because it is a by-product of the chemical reactions used. Not that im against hydrogen cell cars, I just think all these hurdles to put hydrogen cells into practical use stem from the lack of commitment and funding to research and development from governments and corporations. Aerospace and IT technology has improved by leaps and bounds yet cars are still using the same combustion engine invented in prehistoric ages. Yea we invented EFI, variable valve technology and cylinders that switch off when not required... but its still burning fuel pushing our pistons... We've seen prototype fuel cell/electric cars from so many manufacturers for ages.. I think whats been lacking is the economical and political will to go in that direction..
  6. G-noses without extended flares remind me of peking duck... or a platypus.. A chin-like spoiler under a g-nose is can also make it look less quacky. VS

  8. Thanks for the welcome guys! HaHa i wish they had scaled Z in electric blue like austin hoke's Z Coz thats pretty much how i would build a Z, but without the CF hood. Display pic shamelessly stolen from Kev from grandjdm/JNC. gotta love star road's style.. Work Equip 01/03 are teh sex haha. I've got a 1992 DL wagon aka the Loyale to some, the predecessor of today's Liberty/Legacy. If i'm not wrong, these were the last soobs to have a dual range gearbox. These things, despite having a lack of power, are quite bulletproof!! Heres mine with a 2" lift kit on stockton beach last year. 390 000kms on the odo and still going!! conquers sand dunes and mountain tracks and still drivable in the city at ~9.5L/100km!
  9. Argh u beat me to it! I was give a heads up on this car but was typing up my intro first. I'd say this would be my ideal buy provided the rust hasnt totally destroyed the car yet.. I would definitely take a look. If only I didnt have so many work/study commitments I would already be driving up to sunny QLD this weekend!
  10. Hey all! Just thought I'd introduce myself after almost a year of lurking around. I'm from Singapore but I've been in Australia for a couple of years. I first fell in love with the old Zs 3 years ago when looking for my first car in Australia. It came down to choosing between a red 260 2+2 with plates SXY260 and a late subaru L wagon. For economic and practicality reasons back then, i chose the the subaru (F$!#S!@$^!!!!!!!) The only Z i own now has an SR20, is LHD, and has about enough space for 2 of my fingers in the cockpit... This site has really been helpful in educating me about Z ownership and that being said, I am closer than ever to owning a real Z and I hope to be able to contribute much to this forum too! Cheers Calvin
