.....QLD Zedders - love your Zeds?......

.......:zlove: If so I can't speak highly enough of the guys at AMEC in Brisbane. Karen just got her Zed back from them and it is sweet as They did a great job on the 100K, service and many other small jobs that needed doing, plus they were spot on with some trouble shooting. It is a fair drive from Woombye to Capalaba, but well worth it for us

Here is a photo of Karen's Zed - 2+2, TT, Auto.


....... THANKS AGAIN AMEC....................


---------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Love the wheels

Pretty freaky paint!! Love it Glad you had good service at AMEC, seems to be a bit of trouble finding a good Z workshop these days...

 

Always great to hear a good news story

Will we see you at Pex's tomoz?

 

.....they are......

......true Zed professionals, not "wanna bees if they could bees". They are also the ones who assist Fleet in preparing his ultra fast street/track Zed. He beats GTR's and Ford GT40's with it., and it has relliablity too Go see em mate.

 

......my weekends......

......are all tied up with my horse training business. That's the 1HP kind with four legs , so no can do

 

That's Coorparoo, not Capalaba. Don't want to confuse the Newbs

 

For QLD Zedders hey? Well consider the drive from Townsville

 

......you are......

......quite correct, sorry

 

i buy all my parts from AMEC but i have my own mechanic i use and he is in brisbane i live in mackay but its worth the hasses of distance to have him work on it just because i know he wont cut corners the handy bit is he is just around the corner from AMEC

 

Paint....

I met a guy with a sileighty with similar cameleon paint, may I ask how much per litre that paint costs?

Cheers
Drew

 

i saw that car on Wednesday when i went to amec. very nice car

 

......the cost of the paint......

.....is anywhere up to $1,000.00per litre, but fortunately I bought the car from Japan for Karen already painted like that, lucky, huh?

 

yeah isnt it 500 a L minimum for that paint, thats minimum colour changes.

hmm i browsed amec's site, and every thing is so much more expensive then everywhere else?

i hear alot of great results, but atm ill be doing most the work myself and would just be purchasing parts, and their website looks abit exy!

 

How much?

Does anyone know how much they charge for services?

I just got a new Z32, and I'm deciding whether to do it myself or just put it in.

 

It's not how much they charge....

It's more like how much is it going to cost if you take it to a what-a-be Zed mec and he f#$%'s it up.
I don't mind paying for quality work & piece of mind!! But if you can do some of the work yourself than thats even better & if you get stuck you wil find all the help you need here. These guy's are more than willing to help with ?'s.

 

Service...

Ok, well I guess I'll give it a go myself. I have done and still am doing a lot of major work on my Z31, as I don't want to sell it with anything not working. Just had to pull out the radiator due to the most common problem of overheating.

So I just got a new Z32, and don't really know much about it's service history. The guy said he had it regularly serviced, and it looks to be in pretty great condition but I thought I'd check it out myself. What do you reckon I should look at?
I was thinking:

Change the oil & filter (is there a way to inspect the filter to know if I should change it?)
Air Filter
Flush Radiator
Oil & Filter
Clutch fluid and Power steering

Anything else I need to worry about?
Spark Plugs? I heard these are really hard to get to.

 

Also, what kind of oil should I use?
Seems like everyone likes AMSOIL
what kind should I put in my 89 TT?

 

.......I suggest.......

.....Amsoil 10W-40 High Performance If you are doing track days I would use 20W-50 Racing Oil. However, zed4life had some interesting comments on that subject in the "for sale by business" recent AMSOIL thread It may pay to ask him

 

not including parts how much did the 100 k kit cost to get installed??...........

 

we charge about $400 labour to do a 100K service.
