Aw Crap!!! I went away for the weekend and didnt have tinternet access, lost 7000 places.... I WILL own the next leg damnit!!!

I have formed a group on the site called Zowners... You in? Jay

+1 LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG! +1 LMAO

I wonder how long they will continue this leg for? I mean they cant wait for everyone surely? I reckon I will get to the destination sometime after next weekend at this rate!! Lexx has stopped for a bit of fishing I reckon. Jay

Not me thats for sure!! Hey Lexx, you going east of Taiwan? Martinmac, that looks like a pain in the arse!! I am loving this game but hitting land does screw yer chances... hmmm next leg will be fun.. Jay

No, I am spartacus.... oops, wrong thread ;-) I am Brian and so is my wife!!

He he looks like most of us are all in exactly the same place except for Martinmac who is miles ahead... hmmmmm....

I fancy a go at this, dont know if I will be able to keep track over the weekend but... My boat is called Brideys beauty... The race is on

Does the polished lip have a laquer on it? if not then Autosol may bring them back.. Mine are suffering and I was thinking about the same question so good call

I have it on good aurthority that there are in fact three Stigs who do the driving and if you look closely you can see the different body shapes/builds. Also I was told that when the fastest Stig drives the cameramen sit further away from the track!! I reckon the fast one is Ben Collins, and that Caterham lap was truly awesome. I am with Stew on the Zonda F for noise tho, my new most favouritist car in world ever..

I may be slightly paranoid Slightly??? Good work with the list mate!!

White Ford Focus Zetec on a 56 plate on the A14 between M1 and Huntingdon Dark Blue Volvo saloon on a 57 plate + Silver Mondeo on the A1 between Peterborough and Huntingdon. And unmarked Blue Fireblade and a Silver Yam FZ1, around Peterboghorror as my mate sold them to the cops.

Left foot braking eh? not Ari Vatenen? when I left foot brake it nearly puts me through the windscreen!! I love the challenge of heal and toeing correctly and smoothly on the entry... This gadget is purely so the people who cant do it can pretend that they can. It will ensure they have limited weight transfer unbalance on the way in but I am with Chris'I in as much as there are always some plonks who think electronics will make you a superhuman race driver and realise their mistake when its too late.. Oh and my view of the car is that it has a Fat Arse and I dont like it, maybe it will grow on me but for now.. er...no

Hello and welcome

Nice one mate, just remember it takes a real man to raise a girl!

245/35/19 fronts and 275/35/19 rears... To all who have experienced this phenonmenonon.... Mine gets louder/higher pitched or quieter/lower pitched depending on speed... yours the same? Jay

Hello and welcome, Like the name are you in the forces? Good choice of car mate, what model/colour?

I have yet to see a car that runs on LPG that runs right, they all lose something... Performance or driveability, increased noise, stutters etc. I may be wrong and there are some good conversions out there but I aint seen one yet

Hello matey and welcome

Nice motor mate and welcome

So what happened to Phil? does anyone know? I had a replacemnt Nismo Rim about to be delivered before Xmas under warranty but personal circumstances meant I have been away from here for a bit.. and it never turned up, I now know why. I will try to contact Andrew to find out what the score is regards my wheel. Really shocked to hear about all this, sorry to hear that such a good company is having to go down this road...

Yes mate I think we are!! I didnt want to ask either because I thought I was going nuts but it is definately there.. Maybe thats it... You may have hit it on the head, maybe the rubbers are compressed by the window and when its very cold the stay in that position untill some warmth expands them to close the gap??? Dont know meself but I have tried my hardest to at least pin it down to an area with no joy..

Ooooooh nice, can I have some please along with some strobes in the headlights some tacky blue stick on LED's for my windscreen washers.. ( I know they are in the wipers but I want to stick them to the bonnet to look cool, especially when one fails and I dont spot it).. Do you think he has any centre brake lights with nissan written on them? Or a fake supercharger trumpet for my bonnet and a Turbo badge for the rear :lol:

Thanks for the replies... The revs going up was me being scarcastic/daft sorry , its because of the cold weather and slippy roads it just spins everywhere.. something I am sure we are all experiencing.. Its only done 5k total mileage so I think the clutch is good.. hence the back end twitches.. The whiney noise is a strange one, I dont think its the exhaust as the car is only 3 months old, its defo a wierd one, sounds a bit like an air leak getting in somewhere until it gets warm and then goes away... The tyres are Falkens on the 19 inch Nismo rims with very good tread with pressures at 35psi... Do these rims + tyres affect the TCS because the are bigger? It is very unpredictable, sometimes it chimes in too early sometimes a bit late.. Its no big deal but a tad confusing/fustrating especially at junctions or exiting roundabouts. In warmer days I just switch it off cus I prefer it that way but in this temp with the black ice and dodgy roads it stays on!! Jay

So this is weird... My Z is behaving strangely.. The revs seems to rocket up but without much drive... It does it in first second and third. I also get this funny twitching feeling from the back end accelerating out of corners!!! It definately seems to be much slower through the gears because of these problems.. Seriously though I do have a strange problem, first thing in the morning for the first mile or two I have a strange whisltilng noise like I have left the window slightly open or one of the tyres is very fractionally rubbing on something, It is a speed thing in as much as I have dipped the clutch and its still there, dab the brakes.. same, check windows (obviously) still there. As soon as it gets warm it dissapears and doesnt come back till the next morning even after being left alone for 9 hrs during work..?? Other than that its been 3 months now and 6000 miles later and I still love it. I also seem to have a permanent stupid grin plastered over my face most of the time, this is occasionally replaced with a look of horror once in a while but not enough to worry me too much. I find the traction control a bit unpredictable, sometimes its like a car with turretts, other times it seems quite laid back about it all and lets it slide quite a way before I get the slap on the wrist. Bit dodgy pulling out of junctions...... go go stop go go stop. But I have to say that I am enjoying this weather but I dont think the Nismo rims are, or the paintwork... Onwards upwards and forever sidewards Jay
