Aust Z

Hi RPMZ I believe it was about 115mph, he had some issues launching and getting he power down in second gear even with 275 rears (510hp @ the wheels will do that to you) Check out more photos at http://www.ndsoc.com.au/coppermine/thumbnails.php?album=27 Dale

There are a whole heap of pictures of the event posted at http://www.burnoutsunlimited.net/events/nissdat2005/nissdat05.html Enjoy

Thanks for that I didn't get a chance to talk to the guy in the turboed 240z and for future refrence Gavs surname is Strongman, you were very close! Dale

Yea that thing was bluddy fast at the top end 160mph The fastest 240z that i can remember was a 12.37 that was a turbo one, looked very rough but went like a bat outa hell fasted n/a 240z was daniels with a 13.97@100mph the red 240z with the gnose and 2.6 twin turbo GTR engine did a mid 12 from memory, apparenty his best time at calder park is a 11.87 and craigs 7litre v8 260 2+2 ran well with a 12.93 Great day, luckly the ran stayed away, the world is that this is going to become a regular event on the NSDOC calader to look out for it next year Dale

I just put down the contrete slab for my 4 car garage last week, its going to look pathetic against this mob. Dale

Dam it looks worse on video, been there done that, I know how he feels all happens so quickly. My wreck http://www.mazdarotary.net/ndsoctassie0501.htm What happens when you get a flat and the tyre rolls off the rim. Passenger, not a good feeling Stuffed both frame rails, A piller now 1/2inch further back, passenger floor bent back to where the seat bolts in, and the rest of it Dale

I agree Gav he must be smoking some good s#*t Just noticed he reposted that green 240z starting bid, wait for it $7,250 If the bloke has no intention of selling the cars at a realistic price why would you bother puting in such a low starting price. I want another one but not at those sort of prices for rust. Dale

Those two rusty 240z from melbourne have been reposted on EBay starting price is now $4,500 for no400 and $5,000 for the white one, seems a bit high. Apparently this guy has at least a dozen of these cars in his backyard and a few on the nature strip. Always has signs up "Cars or parts are not for sale" must have got sick of people stoping and knocking on his door to see if he wanted to sell. Dale

Don't sell it George, Just think about how disapointed you were when saw your old Z drive off with Ian last year. (mine now) Don't do it to yourself again! Anyway we have to get your new and old Z together at the Nationals next year. Dale

This is mine at the moment. speedo.bmp
