What were your parents doing 9 months before you were all conceived!? .................. Happy birthday all of you!

Looks an interesting job Mart, at least it won't take months to complete.

Gorgeous in smurf blue. Nice depth after the detail.

Butter wouldn't melt would it, lol til the little scallywags are awake! Cute kittens.

Happy birthday Mart!!!! What a way to celebrate, good of everyone to head along to help you celebrate.

Wow, 7 birthdays in one day! Happy birthday everyone!

Gosh, thank you for sharing those pics. One of our guys over here often ships his car over for the Mille.

A month is a long time, much can happen. Good luck with finding a new job. Hey, and you never know where you end up might be better than where you are.

Cheers guys (& Sarah) I know big 30!! Was bloody 23 when I bought my zed!!!!

 

Big 'surprise' party tomorrow night!

My time flies, that's ages ago and that Zed of yours has come a long way! Belated happy birthday!

Watched one of my friends go through this for quite some time, was really worrying us. Switched to a good diet, dropped the rubbish out, and regular exercise, now things are back to normal and we have our happy friend back again.

Gorgeous pics guys! One my favourite thread on this site, apart from the Z techy ones of course.

Cool interior Chris.

Looks great!

Just had to go and check on mine as I`ve never used the key slot so never taken notice of it but no there is no light around the slot.

 

Ok thx very much appreciate it... Strange as at night it's hard find find the hole! ������

But why do you need to? It's an intelligent key, if you're talking 370.

Nothing like a clean car, daily or a toy. Even if you cleaned last week, should be easy enough to give it a once over.

Nice Porsche. Pity about the Z, but you probably wouldn't want it back after it was stolen.

Happy birthday boys, and wow, we have another Sprinkle here?

Well done!

Hey Annie, good to hear that your concern before moving over there hasn't been an issue. What a lovely environment to be in.

Sorry for the slow response, been a tad busy.

Was that at Whenuapai? I went to a couple of race meetings there back in the 90's when I was in Auckland a few times.

It certainly is. Good spotting. No race meeting there anymore, but very occasionally photoshoots. Wayyy before my time, but our ZClub over here used to do a number of track/race meets back then. More race tracks around now, so less need to use airfields. 3 have 3 track tracks/dragways less than an hours drive from the Auckland CDB now, and another 2 tracks just over 2 hours away.

 

Some lovely looking cars, looks like a great day

 

Dat bronze one doe...

They're all lovely aren't they.

 

The goldy/bronze one has a lot of club history, as do most of the old school zeds.

Amazing photos! A good friend of mine owns an early 260z that I believe has a 240 body? I'm sure he would correct me! Regardless; they are beautiful cars! Would love to own one, sound amazing too.

Quite a few variations around, so yes quite likely. They're becoming very collectable again. At Concours d' Elegance we always have swarms of people around our Z Club display stand, for the 240- 370.

Double up.

Could the dog not sit in the footwell in a suitably sized box, or is the doggy to big?

and stick around, plenty of past owners on here

That's for sure. Just when you think it's safe because they've sold their Zed,........ they stay.

A few pics from a meet we had over here 3 weekends ago at one of the airforce bases. Unfortunately they'd put one of the big planes away that was to be left out, so no planes in this particular batch of pics. There was some spitfire pics, but the club member photographer had had to leave by then.

A few pics from the meet at the airforce base. And click on the link below the pic, as there are more pics. All old school Zeds, mainly S30 and S130's and one RB powered one. No newer models, 300 onwards there that day.

Great write up Will. And a good comparison for you to Rosie.

Also agree re the seats. The only downside to the Nismo for me is that I much preferred the leather seats. (Cloth ones are a fluff magnet too!).

At least in the Nismo the seats are all of one type seat cladding, not a mixture of fabric and leather like the normal 370's. I'm not a fan of fabric seats in any car, but obviously if you have leather you need heated seats in the winter.

Saw this on the news ages ago. It set me to wonder how long would the paint last for? As it gets worn and driven over lots and lots of times......
