:bow: Many thanks to Ryan (Baggins) for sorting me out with all the parts. Cheers bud, i owe ya a pint when I call down that way :bow:

Thanks mate for the offer. I hopefully won't be needing it if what my mate says is true. I can get back to work on doing the bodywork and tuning now :dance:

Well guys, I recieved a phone call from my mechanic buddy last night, his first words down the phone were "You're one jammy git". I've never been so glad to be called a git. The engine appears to be running fine. Oh I forgot to add :dance:

Cheers mate

How do i go about getting my headlights chromed? Is it a DIY job or is it done professionally? Any help on this matter would be gratefully recieved

Wait and see what the judge gives him. I see it all the time with Irish judges, If you are "respectable" they tend to be lenient towards sentencing. He'll probably get banned for a few years and recieve a SUSPENDED SENTENCE where no jail time is involved!!! Being a big shot he'll get a driver assigned to him and it will have very little impact on the B******. I hope i'm wrong

where can i get one and how much does it cost?

Thanks Shelton, i'm talking to Ryan (Baggins) about parts and my mate is giving it a go next week. I'll let you all know the outcome when it's done. FINGERS CROSSED!!!

Thanks buddy, i'm praying to God that it's just a belt change. I only got the car in September. It's a well minded one with 2yrs NCT (Irish MOT) there's only 48k miles on it. I went to great expense to get a set of TSW Catalunya alloys (8*19 at the front and 9*19 at the rear) I've also got the Avic X1R sat-nav stereo. On order i've got a mongoose exhaust, Blitz induction kit, full wide arch kit, white dials and a load of other bits from Luke @ Z centre

Thanks Ryan, if worst comes to the worst what are we talking about partswise and pricewise

ok, bad news in what way? am i better off getting another engine? Whats the most cost effective way of getting it up and running? I've ordered £2500 worth of bits from Luke in Z-centre. I still need to know if my mate would be up to the task as he would save me a lot of money

Thanks guys. should i let my mate have a go at doing the belt?

I'M LOOKING FOR ADVICE. I've a series 2 lwb jap auto tt. i was driving at aprox 50 mph when i lost power. the car went to the nearest Nissan dealer for a diagnostic check and i was informed that the cambelt was broken. I was then told that they don't do work on imports. There are not many Z32 experts in Ireland. I've been told that the valves will be bent by one person and that everything should be ok by another person, and a third person said it's luck of the draw. Should i let my mechanic mate do the cambelt even though he's never done one before or should i trailer it over to Zedworld at great expense to myself fo ferries etc. Love the club by the way. there always seem to be friendly, helpful people supporting each other in their times of despair! any help will be greatly appreciated. Richie K.

My cambelt broke at christmas. I was doing aprox 50 mph and the engine lost power and then stopped. Is the engine knackered ? I've been told that there is probably no damage done to the valves by one person and told that it's luck of the draw by another person. Problem is there doesn't seem to be many experts in Ireland. My mate is a mechanic, should i let him have a go at repairing it or trailer it to Zedworld at an astronomical cost for ferries etc.

Thanks for the info guys. If i'm up and running in time i'm going. I've big plans for the car and hopefully will have it tuned and kitted out by April
