hope you all liked the photos:zlove:

The last stop was in Geelong where we all gathered for a photo shoot.

From Apollo Bay we headed inland through some tight twistes to end up at the next stop on the cruise. This was what was left of another member's front splash gaurd:confused: that had been scrapping the ground/road during the entire cruise:O. To help him out I quickly removed the 3 screws holding the guard in place and pesto my good deed for the day was done:zlove:

From Avalon we got back onto the freeway and headed to the Great Ocean Road to stop at Apollo Bay for lunch Apollo Bay

Another massive Great Ocean Road Cruise gone and what a day it was. I don't know the exact count but we were looking at 25+ Zs in attendance on the day. it was a fun day and the weather held out to give us a good day for cruising in.

Thanks I was using my new camera on the event and the photos came out trumps:). Its been a while since the last event I went to and it was so addictive I want to do it again already:). Sounds great, i always love seeing the UK Zs in action, you guys tend to appreciate the modding scene here in Oz more then the yanks seem to:(. Just make sure to join the http://www.aus300zx.com and post the photos there for use Aussies to see:rockon:. We are pretty passionate over here in Oz, the Z community we have is just amazing, like myself we all help eachother with problem solving and even go and help new owners check Zs for sale to help people get the right Z for them. I am so proud and honored to be part of the Z world:clap: Thanks mate, still have a few problems still to fix but I plan to start my 2k build at the start of 2012:), so will make sure everything is perfect before the project is finished.

And the Worlds toughest O2 Sensor. This thing was insane to get off. Basically the sensor somehow melted itself to the bracket it was sitting in and Bryan had to shear the top of the unit off to get a socket on it to get it out. This is all that is left.

New O2 sensor's in place:). Bryan soldering in my new injector connectors. All back together again. Here is the aftermath when I got home. Corroded injector connectors:(

Bye Bye EGR unit:zlove: By now only a few Zs remained Cam working on heater hose bypass.

EGR removal was going slow and it was looking like a pain to get out. I know everyone who helped lost some sort of flesh from either their arms or knuckles and I thank everyone one for helping with the removal. Almost ready to come out:). These hardpipes were the biggest pain to get out. But Bryans method was simple bend the pipe till it snapped. Simple. Gone:)

Its a BOLT Dean lol

Bye bye EGR Solenoid:) The Z gods hard at work:zlove: EGR blanking plates installed. Thought I'd check on the rest of the group outside and found this.

Yay plenum is off. Excuse the dirty engine bay I just don't have the stamina for cleaning it with a tooth brush. Target area:mad: TPS connector, full of corrosion:mad: Bryan and Kal had to replace all the hoses underneath the plenum and install the EGR blanking plates for me.

Here is Dean (bRacket) helping me out with taking the EGR bolts off. Thanks mate:)

Inside Bryans shop:zlove: More Zs started gathering outside:zlove:

Here is where it all started, Cam and I began working together while Bryan was MIA.

ere is the recent tech day I organised this month. We ended up with around 8 - 10 Zs for the day and everyone enjoyed getting together after a long break between events. http://www.aus300zx.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1206004#post1206004 The plan for the day was to take the plenum off, to check for an oil leak I had developed at the back of the engine and also check one of the heater hard pipes in the same area for coolant leaks. I know Bryan (my mechanic) probably hated me for asking this but I made an extra request for a EGR removal while the plenum was off and to my surprise, Bryan accepted the challenge without hesitation. Upon removal of the plenum we discovered the cause of the oil leak, which was coming from the rocker covers as they weren't screwed down tight enough. Easy fix. Then we checked all the injector connectors and found a ton of corrosion in every one of them as well as every injector. But luckily for me all the connectors were getting destroyed during the removal process and Bryan had brand new snap on connectors to replace them.

Very interesting Sudesh, I'm currently working on a 2000spec conversion project on my 1989 model and have been collecting parts for the past 3 years and I've been researching the 2000 models and have a lot of information regarding most things about them. Your photos have given me more information on the audio setup on the later model Zs. I do have one question. Ids the lower part of the rear bar, smooth? I only ask as I noticed the lower side body parts which are normally the rock guard parts on my 89 model yours are smooth. So jut wanted to know if that its the case for the rear bar as well. if there is anything you would like to know about your Z as well let me know I have Nissan fast so can check your chassis number and get your cars specs up. cheers Adam

Thanks guys for the positive comments. I have seen the winter weather you guys are dealing with on the news over here and the funny thing is last week we had a heat wave where we had 1 day was 42 degrees Celsius and now this week its like 14 degrees. Melbourne can have all 4 seasons in 1 day:(.

I hope you guys enjoyed the photos.[/center]
