.....better dust of the welder.... Note the Battery cables behind the seat? hmmmmmmm

Getting ready for the shop lovely light cars they are. note macpherson stut rear, and not for much longer. Hello double wishbone

Enter the incompleted Pull out L24 powertrain strap on the rear subframe to trailer send the lot over to Herberts Fabrication

Okidoki, Gajin will begin the tech notes from here. I hope I can provide a long and technically interesting forum for the zed people I have been reviewing the Hugo 240z (see you tube vids, great rock too) he has something similar, with numerous differences to fabrication, especially the rear subframe install. I will note these differences as I go along. The current workshop has been great, professional, fast, calm, open to discuss good and bad ideas. I am no longer available for any wrench turning myself with current medical issues. I see this as a great thing for the project (=PROGRESS) and a poor thing for finances (vacuum cleaner).

Calling all those interested, Im building a Kiwi zed in its final design scope. General notes; - Street car, Warrant Of Fitness/registration - R34 Neo turbo engine, GT3040R, water/air intercooling etc - Programmable ECU, traction control, ABS even? - Complete R34 rear subframe, LSD, toe/camber adjustable, big brakes etc. Increase track 150mm+ - Large piston front struts, big brakes etc, adjustable roll centre,camber,more castor, increase track 140mm+ - Power steering - Full cage, to front struts - Full interior, sound deadening,music - Plenty of custom mods - 18x9.5" 265/35 rears etc. - NO DODGY BODYKITs either !! The car will not be the fastest, best looking, tidiest zed out there. I understand that it can be considered 'butchering' to some. But should be OK for a comment or even critique. Progress is well underway. If the club is keen to see (about) weekly updates and pics, Im happy to oblige. I can give some tech notes as to whats going on, why, and hassles to avoid if someone is to do something similar. I have slammed the whole lot of postings all at once, no drip feeding here. thanks martin
