1:18 is f@#$ing quick for a road car. Infact its bloody quick for a race car. Must be a real point and shot car though.I bet his engine cost more than my whole race car. Let me know when hes going to be on the track again cuase I would love to see it. Ash

Hi all I will be going to Japan and staying in Shinjuku for work. I am there from the 29th feb to 9th of Mar. Could anyone suggest some places to go around there to check out any zed related stuff. I would also like to pick up some fibreglass flairs if possible as well as anything else I can fit in my suitcase!!! Thanks Ashley

Thanks for the advice etc. I will post some pics soon. Dont worry I still love the Zed the best but I think the RX7 has a certain quirkyness about it being a rotory and all.

Hi all I picked up a 81 RX7 the other day for Aus$300. Dont know much about them but thought it would complement my collection. The body is in great condition but the engine is not running well. Ash

Hi I am trying to chase up a guy called Will who has a zed with an RB20 turbo in melbourne. If you are him or you know him please email me zr240@hotmail or PM me Thanks Ashley

Hi all I got some z guards the other day and they have got badges that say naps-z on them. What are these badges off??? The guards also have had flutes molded into them? thanks Ash

just another small note the turbo L28 uses a higher capacity oil pump on the block than the std L28

chris I may be going to japan in a month or so so would you be able to tell me were you got yoou zed bits from over there cause I might see if I can carry back a few bits with me. Do you need different hinges to suit the g-nose? thanks Ash

I see what you are saying it does look wrong! have you recieved your gnose yet? Ash

thanks chris yer I should be able to patch it up ok. how do you tell if its from z worx. I didnt know they made a 5 piece gnose I thought they made a 2 piece one? I will have to see if I can borrow it and trial fit it first. I know someone in SA was importing one from Japan. Was that you?

it is fairly rough eg some of the holes for the bolts are broken and the bumper has been repaired pretty badly and has big crack around front. It also doesnt have any of the perspex headlight covers ore crome surround. The undertray doesnt have any real detail like the original . Thanks Ash

Hi Guys Looking at buying a second hand (non original) 5 piece g-nose in rough condition (some glass work required) and was wondering what you guys think it worth? I think around $250 aussie dollars but not 100% sure Thanks Ash

why are you getting the engine built in NZ? I thought it would be cheaper and better to get done locally. Ash

Just to let you guys know I tried a different tacho and it works fine so there must have been a problem with the original ash

Thanks for the help guys. I am going to pull it out tommoror and try the other tacho I have. I will let you all know the result. Thanks Ash

Hi I was wondering if anyone could help me with this tacho problem. Its a std tacho on my 240z, It was working fine for ages and now when I start the car it only seems to be reading about half the amount of revs the car is doing. Sometimes after a while it will all of a sudden start working correctly but then when I turn of the car and re start it is inacurrate again. any clues? I have another tacho so I am probably going to change it to see if I have just got a dead tacho, just thought I would ask to see first thanks Ash

Hi Just thought I mention I am racing my 240Z at Phillip Island this weekend. The event is REPCO Island Magic and runs for Saturday and sunday. Should be some good racing. If your in the area drop in and say Hi. Orange 240Z number 5 Ashley
