heard from Richard today, the red beast is up and running:hyper: cheers for all the advice guys:nana2:

Cool, add "UP WATERFORD" to the banner please or else "DOWN THE CATS":xxx:

Yep that's true, they do that if it's over 2 months out of date. It depends on the police officer , some are OK ,some are...you know!

tell us about it:( even my wifes old 2ltr volvo is over 500eur for the year. you can tax your z for 3 months for around 320euro let it run into 5 or 6 months, depending if you are moving to a rural area so the chances of being stopped are minimal, then say it was off the road for a few months and do the same again. it's risky, but it's insane to fork out that much in one go considering the age of the cars. btw, the actual fine for no road tax here is around 60 euro. Do the math lol! let the guys know when you arrive, I'm sure we'll have a meet or something

thanks fellas, i willl pass the info onto richard

If it's of any use to you, I still have the original nissan chip from the ECU. Maybe if it was put back in it might cancel out the idle, but I doubt it. The machanic who did the conversion has left the garage he was working in, If I manage to track him down is there anything you want me to ask him? by the way hope this helps http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=116199

can any of you guys help. As some of you know, I sold my z to a member on here richardgills some weeks ago. I am posting this to try and help. Basically after the manual conversion was done last september, the idling/tick over is too high, around 2000rpm. I never got it sorted because I presumed it was something simple. richard has been banging his head off the wall to try and sort it with no luck as yet. Please please help someone, I want to know my baby is being enjoyed and driven by someone, not holed up in a garage for the next year.:( Mick

I don't know what to say, I 'm not mechanically minded. I do know if it were still mine I would be driving it as much as possible and not too bothered about the high idle. everyone's different I know, im sorry this happened Richard, give us a ring tomorrow if you can. I understand your pain, especially after getting the bumper and interior sorted. No offence to jeff, but you know it will cost a lot to bring it over there, there has to be an easier solution. Did you pm quavey or post up on help and advice?

lol, yep you must be referring to last years halloween pic. She's not mine anymore, sold it a couple of months back and yes my heart is broken:( I need a new z, theres something missing in my life.................money

:rofl: no probs. will give ya the engine build soon

WOW that is S*it cool Gaz;) got my work cut out

She looks stunning richard, fantastic job:) I'm really getting the bug back now:dance:

Mine used to squeak a bit over rough ground, seemed to be between the dash and front wing, never bothered me too much

Don't think so but W o W ! ! ! , that's a beautiful z you have there:hyper:

Hi stella, did you sell your baby? Not sure as you've still got sig pic

How did you get an exact replica of your own, I presume you mean the paints etc.? another nosy qustion lol, how much did you pay for it? Mine was a tenner. I would've paid fifty for it:D

Hi Gaz, I cant bring myself to make it yet, I feel it's worth a lot more in the box lol! Probably worth even more than real zeds at the moment.:( I picked it up in a model shop in manchester during the summer, couldn't believe my luck.

sorry lol, trying to get the pics up from photobucket

:duffer: definitely going to change the colour, don't think airfix do a pearl white though lol!

jesus richard it must be something simple. You know it only started after the man. conversion, didn't quavey say he had the very same thing after his conversion. Might be worth sending him a pm

A pain about the contest leigh, hope it doesn't affect your chances. But if you make it big and need a sound engineer/producer/keyboard player give us a shout lol!

:)Cheers guys, good to see the old reliables are still around:duffer: Groover, my inspiration comes from sound itself. As long as I can remember I have been facsinated by sound, especially the sounds that synthesizers make. They are a gateway to experiment with creating your own sound. Unfortunately , anyone these days can buy a software "synth" and play it on their laptop. Most of the music that is on the radio now seems digital, pre-programmed ..it doesn't have feeling or emotion like it did not so long ago. Hence my other main influence Vangelis, who is probably the most influential composer of electronic music. i'm trying not to be a stranger, but when you're zedless, it's a bitch to come on here and look at loverly zeds that you want but can't afford:x:

Last time I asked this ,you guys were great and it bumped up my profile a bit on youtube. Since then i've had somgreat comments and enquiries from amature film makers and a guy who works for a major fashion brand asking if I could do some music for a fashion show in october! I know, the internet is full of wierdos but this is a start at least, thanks again..here's a few of the vids:) P.S. I've already included the stereo versions in the link so you don't have to click on them. Mick

Hi liegh, listened to the tracks, very fresh and excellently produced. Thrashing guitars aren't normally my thing, but I really enjoyed that, very melodic and getting the electronica vibe ...:) can't comment yet , still waiting on email for the sign-up. The very best of luck, you're an extremely creative guy. Mick

Did I read somewhere that 99spec z32's are not mod friendly? you can't increase bhp with some basic chip/boost like the earlier models. Someone correct me if i'm wrong.
