    Heya aus300zx,

    I have been surfing your forums for quite a while now due to my growing interest in the 300zx. I finally decided to join, despite the fact that I don't own a 300zx (Due to high insurance costs), and hope to one day own one.

    Just to let you all know, from the outside (As you probably all already know :p) this forum seems to be a close nit community of DEDICATED classic sports car lovers. I always enjoy seeing people giving their cars TLC and it goes to show that it is more than a car. :zlove: (I can relate as i polish my car at least once a month ;))

    Anyway, just though i would say hello and let you know what a great forum this is. Looks like i caught the zed bug... :eek:

    P.S. If this is the wrong place to post this, sorry. I won't mind if it gets moved. :rolleyes:

    Welcome to the family :p:zlove:
    Just get third party, fire & theft!!! Not worth getting comp insurance on zeds for us under 25s. 2.5k a year for a 10k car? No thanks!

    G'day Pronto! And welcome!
    Glad you're happy with the place so far, and yes it's a bit of a family we have on here. And with all families, there are ups and downa, but deep down all love one another. lol.

    Enjoy your stay buddy, and needless to say, you probably already are aware of the comprehensive TECH section in this sight. It's the first point of call for any tech info.

    Hope to see you on a Qld cruiZe some day in your own Zed when you get one.
    I can direct you to the Zeds for sale, an absolute rarity of an example. K-zed's Red Zed going for around $10k. If you can afford this, then that Zed will probably out live you - it's been that well looked after! (and it lives at the gold coast also)

    Cheers,
    Benny. :zlove:

    Hi & welcome fellow Z enthusiast. Don't worry one day you will have a Z, I wanted a Z32 from the day they were released 1989 & finally got mine in November 2010:eek:
    Once the Z bug bites you are in for life:zlove: I'll never part with my baby & you're right this is a great forum where there is never a lack of help when you need it:)

    Where on the Gold Coast are you??
    I am going to Shannons QLD Autospectacular this Sunday with 4 or 5 others(doing a Z display) & may have a spare seat if you are interested:) My son hasn't confirmed he is coming yet. If he is not & you want to come let me know & as soon as I get an answer from him I'll contact you if the seat is available.
    I will be leaving Nerang about 5:15am:eek:

    haha im actually spewing they dropped agreed value down from 18 grand last year, should have written it off then :eek:

    wow 18k? for that price maybe :eek: mines agreed at 10k and I pay $600 for 6 months rating 1. :eek::(

    Yeah when we went through it on-line just insured the car for maximum value which turned out to be 18k. I think the reason is on their systems they list 25th anniversary models and normal '95 aus spec zeds as the same car, seems to bump up the agreed value..

    Hi, probably won't be back on the Coast until after 4pm & at this stage my son has advised me he is coming with me. If the time is OK & he changes his mind I will let you know.

    It's all good. I might give it a miss this time as I am aiming high this semester and don't want to get destroyed in mid sems... :D Thankyou for the offer and I'am sure there will be other events in the future I will be lookign out for.

    Would have been a good opportunity to try out my semi-new canon 30D i have been learning how to use though.. :p
