Gav,

Word of mouth and day-to-day sightings might help us to discover 10% of the cars out there. Government databases will probably get us another 50-60%. Anything not registered and/or on the road in public view may never be found in the 'short term'. These cars will either vanish or occasionally rejoin the registered or 'known about' cars if their owners restore them

So what am I saying? By far the biggest win for all of us would be getting information from the government. Might be time to start hitting them with FOI requests as per Mr.C's suggestion...

if SJCurtis is watching I know last time I was having a VicZcar meet i was meant to take down the chassis numbers and info but it was so damn cold and raining that i didn't bother + we didn't get the turn out however next time weather permitting i will be a busy boy.

I did take a note pad and pen but as i say with the weather i was inclinded

SJ curtis is collecting information about chassis numbers, but I think he is only up to about 30 cars.

I might make a register page on our wazcars.com website so that people can submit their car details.

But the infomation isnt any good unless you can access it.

So I was thinkin that you would be able to seach it, but not see who owns the car unless they have clicked a check box to allow you to view their name. maybe have an anonymous contact form so that you can email them but not make the email address public.

I'd also have a deceased cars section for all the 2+2 260z that have been crushed, or cut up for parts, or written off cars.

Like the register at zcar.com but biased towards australian cars.

Good idea. When I get time I'll approach the Transport department to see what we can get out of them.

I would think all cars should be considered deceased until otherwise proven!

Yes, but it would be helpful to have a list of proven deceased cars also, just for clarity... wait, helpful? Well maybe not helpful. But fun!!!

Hi all,

list them all I say. Every S30 series ZED we see has the potential to increase our group knowledge even those no longer viable. I grab all the information I can and put it in as reference data. I have been entering dead Zeds in red with an explanation of cause of departure along with production detail and anything different spotted.

Gav good to see we are all still chasing the information.

for MR C to date in register format

1970 = 24 hs30

1971 = 40 hs30

1972 = 12 hs30

1973 = 30 hs30

21 = grs30 all

15 = rs30 all

and for reference data = nearly 500 hls30 and growing.

always open for any information on an S30 series.

The hardest part about going to public with vin data is as you stated the relationship to the owner. I have some data that I can not release due to request by owner and I hold this information seperate for background info.

It would be great if you guys can bring up a workable interface so it can be front loaded by the owners.

cheer
