Heres the history if any ones interested.

Purchased this bike from Phil Ryrie Motorcycles Ballarat in 1983,1 of first in the country ZX750E #000363, they weren't officially released till 1984.

Rode it constantly till 2001then parked it while i restored my ht monaro.

It was looking a bit untidy so did a stand up resto, repainted the frame and associated bits with 2pac,had the top in rebuilt and put her back together.

Mods to date include...intercooler,blow of valve,adjustable FPR and boost controller.
Fitted a walbro fuel pump and liquid filled boost gauge K&N, filter on the turbo,and straight out exhaust.

Next on the list "maybe" wiseco 810 pistons,1100 throttle bodies,larger injectors and power-commander PC111.

Also fitted ZRX1200S mirrors and removed the centre stand.

Handles and rides like a dream at any speed,considering its age.

Cheers,and thanks for the comments....Dave

I've got a soft spot for the GPZ's - this one sounds amazing! Well done on the resto

In the pic above Gos,I was just running a straight out dump pipe exiting just behind the right front foot peg.

Sounded OK,but liked it better with the opened out Walker system.

this is what I'm getting from US in couple off days

and i have another one that is in a ruff condition but its getting fully customised at s&r pro at penrith. getting stuff like wesco 810 piston cit, gpz 1100 throttle bodies,Burnett clutch cit,bigger turbo,custom front mount intercooler,custom plenum chamber, 1998 r1 front end, vfr ass end [single sided swingarm] but that will take lot off time and money and i hope that they both look half as good as yours
