I've folowed the forums for ages but just reading them, and have wanted/bin saving for a zed for a while... (takes a while as an apprentice at 17) and i have figured alot out by looking at pics, like figuring out what was the deal with the seat belts (i didnt know what was going on how their atached to the door), figured out about the targa tops (if they had sliding covers that block out sun) and etc on the interior/cosmetics by looking at pics. i've researched about the stock specs of an n/a / tt, the power... the torque, the weight and which types have targa and wich have slick top etc... but can only learn so much from reading... learnt about the year models as much as possible... when they wer stopped being made etc... but yeah never sat in one... i've craned my neck every time i seen one but looks cant explain much... ahah so wondering if someone in my area (W.A..----- suburb-wandi... near kwinana ish~) would let me sit-in while you go for a quick drive,(NOT ASKING TO DRIVE!! i know thats too much to ask ahah) or give me a peak into it and such... just to see what its like to be in/drive... power (i know each car would differ coz of aftermarket parts etc). i know people won't be jumping at this idea but id even give ya a couple bucks for FUEL haha if you want... I'd come to your place to not in-convenience you or w/e. when it suits you... yeah just gimmie a shout... =]
OMG this guy is 17 and a vergin to a 300zx some on hook him up asap man I would be happy to show ya but I am in S.A
well if ya gona try and sit in a zed, may as well go all out, im in the Baldivis area, just send my a msg with what ever time you can make it, and ill head over and take you for a spin. mines not the finest dont get my wrong, its missing any sort of bling, but.. its engine and performance makes up for it i like to think. 14psi blowoff valves lowered (basically sitting on the pavement ) 330hp at the wheels all in all, fast as hell, and not to bad looking to boot.
andy: nah thats good anyway... get to see what a stock would look like and feell the performance.. working all week this week, could get out after work maybe... its up to you when your available... coz i dont wanna put you out hey.
Its easy (I work 6 days per week as well). Just drive up in your rolla on your off day and there you go. You seem to be keen in regards to learning and research etc... so why be different re the drive up here. If you are thinking of coming up for a cruise, what is the difference? Sat arvo between 3 and 8pm. Sun after 3pm. Weeknights after 8pm. Morley area.
ty the sat/sunday seems to be the go... I'll find out during the week if i have to work saturday or sunday... Cheers for offering hey... did you want lil bit fuel money?
Bloody car-jackers (and thread hijackers ) First car I had in Melbourne was a black (yes Baz, black) 5-year old '63 Falcon Futura (4-door). They were still being used as taxis, and almost every time I drove in the city, someone would try to get into the car if I was stopped, thinking it WAS a taxi. Some were very difficult to persuade that it wasn't!
No worries. Dont worry about fuel money, you will need it for the drive up j/k But yeah forget about the fuel money, I'm just repaying the community for the help that I was given when in the past. Besides, I will be enjoing the boost as much as the passenger hahaha
nope.; His cars got HEAPS more done than that. But if he's not advertising, i sure wont on his behalf. Some people like stealth, and dont like to advertise what thier cars have on the internerd, and i can't blaim them. But he is driving the car I nearly (and should have) purchased. Awsome car (now that he's had it fixed) and FAR from stock
Oh! If only I knew then what I know, or even vaguely suspect, now! (Remember, we're talking 40 years ago! Things were a bit different then. Life was a lot more innocent! Pop groups like ABBA, Jack Brabham F1 champion, impending nuclear holocaust (what fools were we?), you get the picture) Being soooo young at the time, mostly I was a bit intimidated, especially by those who would not believe it was a private car
i bet he is still on the stock turbos. 330rwhp isnt much.. about 235rwkw i think as for dp300zx i hope you take a spare pair of undies if your going in a modified z.
