Hi guys,

 

Just joined the forum.

 

Im a long standing member (and annoying post whore) on Aus300zx.com.

 

I'm actually originally from Tunbridge Wells, Kent but moved out to Australia with my family nearly 6 years ago.

 

Since moving I got into the Jap HPI scene which is quite large in Perth. I purchased a 180sx CA18DET which i loved to bits (and still miss), but even when I purchased that, it was really a Zed I was after.

 

So I then sold it 2 years later and got a 1989 Z32 TT 2+2

 

Its not as clean and well kept example as my 180sx was but its getting there as time and money allow.

 

Anyway, if it's ok with you guys I'd like to lurk and join in on here for a bit as Im travelling back to the UK for Christmas, and if time allows, would love to catch up with some people from the UK Zed scene, take snaps, trade stories etc etc and of course, go to the pub (damn i miss a good cider personally)

 

Anyway... thats me

 

Pics of my cars:

 

The 180SX that was

Near stock CA18det but she still ran a 14.980..... and then the head kind of... opened :(

 

300ZX Z32 TT 2+2

I love it. I hate it. Needs work, and is perfect depending on what day you ask me.

She's got a FMIC, Highflowed T28's, 2.5 inch Cat back... and a whole heap of issues.

Ran a 14.020 and after that the clutch was slipping. Hoping just new clutch, find and fix some boost leaks, is all its going to take. Shes on stock boost due to poor compression test results, so the real fun wont begin until the engine is rebuilt.

 

 

Oh.... I can also bore you with Videos that I've done of the Cruise Scene in Perth

Hopefully my visit will co-inside with a UK cruise so I can make use of the Vid Cam too :D

 

Thanks for your time.

Yeah I'll be based in Tunny Wells when over. Will move around a little but not too much. I know it wont be the best time of year for a cruise but if I can get to meet some of you I will.

 

Think it will be awsome to see what the UK scene is doing and bring some piccies and info back.

WELCOME BUD!:duffer:

Also forgot to say, glad you picked a proper colour zed ;) :D :D :D

hehe i didn't like the colour that much when i first got it. I prefer black cars.

 

She might get re-sprayed in the future but I hate to say it... the colour has grown on me.

 

Something to do with recent Lambo's coming out in a simular colour I think

You know you wanna stick with grey :D:D:D :duffer:

yep i do now.

 

I also HATED the front bar, but again... its grown on me. It doesn't photograph well, but in person its nice and agressive.

 

Rims will change for sure.

 

Also toying with widebody rear but need to decide before i choose rims. Being unessesery weight i probably wont bother even though i love the look of wide body Zeds. I'll probably just roll the guards and have illegally fat tyres ;)

 

Have also recently discovered on of my front gaurds has snapped on the underside where the bar connects (the metal gaurd snaped before the plastic guard ???) so vented front gaurds "may" be on the cards.

Welcome to the club Chris... Enjoyed your vid :D

Is that an alcantara dash you have there?

is it a what now?

 

And which vid? ;) All the vids on that channel are mine :)

 

if you mean the default one with my zed, 1 other, RX7, WRX etc... that was a fun day

 

but the best Vid is the Mandurah Cruise one.. thats a Perth Zed club meet :D

Just posting a refresher "hello"

 

Not long now. Month and a bit, and I'll be in Sunny....ok Chritsmasy England AND I CAN"T WAIT :D

 

Christmas in the Sun by the pool is all good, but I miss the traditinoal feeling I grew up with. Dark, Cold, but TOTALLY overdone with shopping and lights and presents and family and and and

 

I can only guess UK malls are already full of Christmas stuff.

 

not so much over here. It's all a little too "quick" over here.

 

Lots of planning of what I'll be doing in the UK but Like i said before, wouldn't mind bumping into some UK Zed crew.

 

if there's a South East Event planned (or London or whatever) between Mid Dec and Mid Jan, PLEASE let me know.

 

Im sure not going to plan the whole family holiday around it, but if I can squeeze it in, I will be doing that for sure.

 

Hope to meet some of you soon.

 

Get the cider ready :D
