Somehow, I dont think I'm actually going to try this one

A 'go'? I didn't realise France changed its currency to 'go's ! ROFL

Mmm... that could quite possibly turn into a very good publicity idea, not to mention the fun involved in driving it! The only bad thing is I think it'd end up being built by Mike and the gang in the USA because after all that's where the majority of members come from! Although I took your idea as building up a pre-designed chassis/body car. If you are suggesting we build one up from absolutely scratch......... well I can sketch pretty good :stupid: There are enough members reasonably close together in the US but I can't see it happening in any other place than there... except for perhaps Adelaide! Is a good idea though At school we started building a Locost (Lotus 7 Replica) but it wasn't finished by the time my class graduated... we built the chassis and suspension components up and took out the engine from the half-cut we bought, but there's still a lot left to be done! Lots of fun, probably more designing it all from absolutely nothing, and it isn't that expensive if you do it yourself! What I would like to see is a little Lotus replica thing with a 13B Turbo engine in it. Perfect engine I would have thought...

Yep, your friend is right.. if you want to restore a Z it's cheaper to buy one that's already done. Of course, you don't get the satisfaction of doing the work yourself and of course you dont get to choose what it looks like at teh end, like you said. That's the price you have to pay if you want to save money Upload pics when you get yours!

Ahhhhhhh its you !! RPMZ, congratulations on what I see as one of the best Z cars in Australia. Your car (and that purrdy website) inspired me to get my Z.

nakee people ! weeehehehehe waitingwaitingwaiting

I hadn't thought of that.. it'll be almost as long as a 300ZX! LOL !! What's this about 2 models of big nosed Z's? And who is this mystery man?

Gav, no, the page JUST before the Z432 article!!! I was amazed such images got published in magazines back then... Awaiting Metal-Nose's reply...

Yeah, I actually haven't got around to reading that article yet. Should be good!!! I have read the article on the page before it though, well, ok I didn't read it, but I looked at the pictures! ROFL (only those who have the magazine will understand what I'm talking about here...)

who knows... http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3408732575&category=31261

From the look of the mounting brackets etc. it looks like this badge was actually meant for the front grille of the car - remember the Japanese Fairlady Z's had a mesh type grille. Any other thoughts?

Here's a picture of the Jap-Spec 2+2 badge that was put on the S30 cars... anyone know where this badge goes on the car??? http://ebay0.ipixmedia.com/abc/M28/_EBAY_3f0e9fdcbe5508b3c4d24e2cf43957e6/i-1.JPG (It's for sale at ebay Australia btw ZedRally)

ahhhhh I dont particularliy like to watch motorsport, but I LOVE the production car races. I always seem to miss them though.. grrr If I had my way 50% of motorsport would involve REAL cars... but thats another story.

Damnit trust me not to watch it

I'll take my 240K. The show will need a little variety!

Yep, sure is! I'll be there, along with '1 Bravo 6' and probably a few others too! More details at: http://www.zcarclubq.org.au/html/main_page.php?AreaID=9

I'd be at your place every weekend!!!

Bah, too many different gallons and currencies for me... you confuzzle me alan!

I was working on 4.5 litres to a gallon... have prices dropped recently Alan, or am I just terrible at maths?! :stupid:

When I was in England early this year petrol was at about 74 pence a litre - seeing as we have all decided to convert it into American bucks and gallons that equates to about $5.41 a gallon. Beat that!!! Here on the Gold Coast we're hovering just above 90c a litre, the same as biker.

I dont think so Rick! I think the guy who ordered all 50 high-spec performance and luxury cars to be stolen already had a garage full of Z's!!! Have you seen the movie? It's a pretty decent movie just to watch all the nice carssss... too bad the XJ220 appeared on screen for no more than 3 seconds! :mad:
