Bonkers

Well Mike, they stomped on you pretty hard with the flared guards thing.You're taking Wilbur's car to heart to much. You have to stop that as none of us are ever going to be on a even playing field to beat him. But this thread is about what devalues a Zed and that is lack of interest. Let me give you an example. In 1990 at the first Australian Zed Nationals it was noted that the number of owners under 30 could be counted on one hand . It was also noted in the Zed Clubs that this was also the case with them.It was a worrying statistic that no one had a answer for of how to fix this. The last thing we wanted to see was our cars to end up as a Cube. Or worse never being used again This was because the following Generation HAD NO INTEREST IN THEM at all. But that changed , not quickly at first and some ideas for Zeds should stay just that ,an idea . The clubs tried to pick up there game and home grown events picked up a following and it went from there. The list of what a Zed owner can do with their car these days is quite extensive. So everything you have read in this thread,well I see it as being a good thing because it adds interest That makes them desirable to so many different types of people for so many different reasons. Some drive autos as well. Not everyone can use a manual and some need the extra two seats ,at least for a while . If you think having an extra 2 seats makes them less competitive. Well you may be in for a shock at the track one day in that case Some of you may think ,"he is trying to make everyone happy ". Believe me when I say those who know me. Know I don't make many people happy.Its just to hard to do I am just glad Zeds having the following they have today.

I would stay with the 280ZX . Even if it requires a parts car. They are under rated for what they can do as a base unit. You only have to look at the Z car nationals which is the NDN before 2003 to see what they can do . I owned a white hardtop Fairlady for 8 years which was sold to a other member here many years ago and now this year I am told it will make its way to the salt or Clay to have a go at a land speed record. Go the 280ZX's

and what colour is yellow

and a few more

If you are looking for information on NEV's air box .I would send a MP to 24DAT .He may able to get in contact with the owner. a few more pics

Yeah it is .I couldn't find him .One could only guess at what he may of been up to. I wanted to ask him what is that on the side of the bonnet. So some more pics

Another good day Thanks to ZCCQ for the tent.

Always a good day and the only cost is a gold coin. Bring a chair. links to previous events http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php/topic,14316.0.html http://www.viczcar.com/forum/index.php/topic,11246.0.html

NDN2015 will by all accounts be the event to be at this year. Good to see ZCCQ Auszcar members pushing it and helping organising it. But the closing date for that event is only just over 3 weeks away.If your going to that event, I am guessing you would have made up your mind to enter by now or will be doing so very soon. You would have already or will let other Auszcar members know you are going. So there is a event to meet at for some of us . But it may be short notice for members of this forum to attend as a birthday celebration for Auszcar. I am also not sure how ZCCQ may take to it as well . They do not wish the event to become Z centric as the nationals is open to all makes of cars. You only need to be a member of a Nissan ,Datsun car club to enter and hold a CAMS licence for the speed events. It doesn't matter what make or type of car you enter with. Dubbo, now that's old school. Canberra is a good choice and so is the Christmas events for the Eastern sea board . But Tasmania has stuck its hand up to want to do something or have an event ,like a classic day or perhaps a Christmas BBQ . May be we should hear what they have to say on the idea ?

I was wondering when this might be and if any Australia wide get together could happen . Ten years is a long time and should be marked with some kind of celebration .So what would people would want from this ? Just putting a thought out there?

I believe it came of a 2L series 6. I had a 79 fairlady with a 2000cc 6. But it had a Y70 head on it and it looks very close to that. So my guess it is from a 2 litre engine and someone removed the runners from the exhaust .Started some porting but compared to a N42 you will be there for a while with the die grinder.

Is this close to what you are after
