Figured it was worth doing a new introduction thread now that I've actually got myself a Z.

Whiteline Swaybars
HKS Intake
HKS Coilovers
Plenum Spacer
2.5" Exhaust
High Flow Cats
Esprit ECU Reflash
Aftermarket Headers

Have a few things which I need to Identify as to what brand they are as you can see. Shouldn't be too difficult.

Everybody drools over RB's, personslly I think the Z sounds far better than my old RB25DET skyline.

She's looking good. Are we missing something here, there's 2 x in one of those pics??

Cost much in petrol so far in your trip home?

Home already, 23 hours after landing in Hamilton I pulled up my driveway. My old man and I took turns and drove through the night.

Used 140L for about 1550km, there was some spirited driving from picton to christchurch which killed the fuel consumption a little.

Met up with Taryon briefly in Rotorua.

That's a good haul for the distance.
For the distance, that's about right for open road, so you did well.
So cool that you meet up with Taryon along the way.

I'll guess yours is the one on the left, and the one with the funny Diffuser would be Taryons.

I think I remember a thread some time back about importing a secret diffuser, must have been Taryon... Not very secret when it sticks out like the dogs bollcks, and in about the same place

The cars look good, the bronze wheels accentuate the silver paint scheme well.

Haha it was great meeting up indeed.
Yes the one with the funny diffuser is mine

Top Secret is actually the brand name though haha. Ill soon have a complete
Set of carbom diffuser sides and front to compliment the rear so it doesnt
Stand out like a sore thumb

I looked at this one !! Good to see someone made a move on it, I rang the chap who owned it and he said the synchro was gone in 5th?
So I got put off, pretty cheap fix tho I guess.
At least 10g worth of bits on that car I recon, well worth it!!

My thoughts exactly, the good outweighed the bad. 5th gear synchro is no big deal, got a new box lined up for it. Don't even need it anyway unless you plan on doing over 200kph.
