Hi,
I have been around on this site for sometime now. When I finish college, I want to start my own hybrid Z project. So far the information I have gathered from this site will help me a lot during the project.
I’m a student Automotive Engineering in Arnhem, Holland (Europe). For a 30 hour assignment I have to come up with a project of my own. While most other students tend to spend those hours at college helping first year’s students I want to do something for the Z-community.
About 3 month’s ago I bought a Tamiya 1:12 240ZG modelkit. So far I didn’t have the time to start assembling it. The next few months I will have time. While my classmates are doing their 20 week internships, I will have time to do this project of my own.
I have already done 2 internships during my Civil Engineering study. So for my first internship concerning Automotive Engineering I have dispensation. These 20 weeks I will spend working to safe up money for an internship abroad which I still have to decide on. Also during these weeks I can complete unfinished tasks. This 30 hour assignment is one off them.
Now the Solidworks stuff. I did a search on Solidworks and I didn’t find anything interesting on the site. Only some small models used in personal projects. I want to make a complete 240ZG model including motor and drive train. I will document the process in a thread and all the files will be made downloadable for everybody. This way everyone can benefit from my work. I know this will take well over 30 hours, but some good experience in Solidworks is never a bad thing.
This is just a post to see if there is any interest at all. And if there is, in what form I should make the files available. Small files every now and then or just one big file at the end.
