Chesterfield

Oh crap - sorry... Ive been up to my eyes in it. Stand OK by me, Dont need a show car space, and will camp over. Ta, Chris.

On my Golf there are several features that can be enabled using software that interfaces through the ODBII port on the car. Simple change of a value from 0 to 1 and the car auto locks at 10mph, same to make it beep when you lock it etc. Im assuming that given the right software and interface the same may be possible with the Z.

Another nice tip is WD40. Spray some on a cloth and give em a wipe over once done, It doesnt stop the dirt from building up, but it makes it easy to get off. Cheaper than wax too.

You might want to check that it is OK to use on enamel baths. If it isn't then it could spell trouble with the lacquer on rims... Results look good though!

I found the pub in the end. Had a nice fun 20mins or so on the B roads! Had a good look round some modified skylines when I got there. Had a swift coke and came home! LOL. Bloomin traffic lights caught me out. I did notice an MX-5 in some sideways action too. LOL.

Ooooo - now that sounds good. I wonder if it can be programmed into a UK spec car?

Off to wash the car and get the plates on. Sadly I cant find the locking wheel not remover, so you'll have to make do with my standard wheels today! LOL.

Yes it can.... Why do I now get the urge to go out for some back end action (ooerr.)

I’ve posted this here as it will cover a couple of items. Once again, rather embarrassingly, I have to apologise for another site outage. Barring acts of God, I think we have now had every circumstance conspire against us to cause an outage. This time, it was the accountants. Apparently someone forgot to update the records, and subsequently switched off our server. The time difference to our Californian hosts and the fact it was the weekend made this unnecessary outage longer than it needed to be. In an effort to make it up to you guys, I am about to post up another great members discount for you. (you didn’t think I would stop working on the site, just because it was offline did you? ) Any questions please ask.. Sorry again folks.

Most I ever had working for me was 35. 20 in Leicester and 15 in Chesterfield. It was good, but when it comes round to writing performance reviews for 35 people, it gets a ball ache! The travelling between the two locations was a pain in the backside too. I prided myelf on not using cut and paste too, which meant I actually had to sit down and think about every individual. Now I have nobody working for me. I left to work in the family business about 18 months ago.

Ive got a whole list of jobs lined up for tomorrow - wash the Z, fit new numbe plates, put up two curtain poles, trim 12 drawer handles, and fit my Rays!! Yay! Val, its about 35 miles south from mine. Happy to travel in a convoy with anyone else that is interested from in and around the area.... lomoto.....???

:scare: Hope there werent any passengers on that bus! Some of the others just look like people driving waaay to fast for the density of traffic in an enclosed space.

Yeah, they dont pick them for their ability alone - otherwise it would be full of poker faced, hard nosed business folk. They have to pick them based on how well they think they will get on with other people, and their overall character. Its got to be good television. Its a tough balancing act for Sugar, as he has to make sure that there are people in the mix that he feels he can employ on 100K, but also to make sure he delivers the ratings to the BBC. Im guessing depending on the viewing figures, Sugar will be getting enough in kickbacks from the Beeb to cover the winners salary for a good while anyway. Havent watched last nights episode, so Ill be off this topic until I have - LOL.

If you dont like the wires, you could always hardwire it in. It would involve making a small hole in the rear/bottom of the cubby hole, feeding the wire through that, and hard wiring it into the lighter wiring behind the centre console. Ive not done it myself, but I did something very similar on the Golf. Where there is a will there is a way. You could leave enough cable behind the unit in the cubby hole to allow you to pull it out and remove the unit for security, and pop it back in when you want it. It shouldnt be too difficult to get rid of the wires..

Thanks for the tip. Some others have also suggested a hairdryer and dental floss, to "cut" the badges off. Glad everything went OK, looking forward to seeing the new badges in the pics.

Looking forward to this, looks like it should be a good turn out. Looking down the list, we have 4 from here myself, TheMinel 350ZNismo Loui Any more fancy a trip out?

guys.... In exactly the same way as you put a picture up, put that same code in your signature.... i.e. http://location of your image just use the [ ] brackets instead of < > Insert that into your signature, and it should be sorted... Just try to keep the depth of the sig to a minimum, i.e. not a load of lines of text and a sig, otherwise the sigs start to look bigger than the posts. LOL Hope that helps.

Ill have to check this out when I get home - work is hectic today....

Ahhh - I see the 06 model roadster has the radio/phone buttons on the left side of the steering wheel... Why these arent on 05 spec roadster GT's I dont know. LOL

Actually, you are probably pulling the same face in that picture that I would every time I got into a Z if I had won it! LOL :teeth:

The only way you would get a better rate than that, would be to put it on your mortgage, or maybe become a "0% balance transfer whore" Which becomes a pain in the backside I can tell you. For anyone wanting to go the forced induction route and wanting to spread the payments, this kind of deal looks very good indeed!

I have an ODBII to serial cable and the software for diagnosing my VW. I could try it on the Z, but would preffer to have the corect software before I do! LOL. I suppose if I can get a hold of a copy of the software (which needs to run on xp) I could try cabling up the Z and see what happens. Where is the ODBII port on the Z anyway?
