I just gave up remapping at xmas time, damn should have held on to my gear and i could have given it a shot. Found these guys through a chiptuning forum http://www.technosquareinc.com/ They have the tools and algorythms for remapping the standard 350z ecu, in the usa though so would have to send ecu away.

I also enjoy some peoples parking, check this fine selection of women parkers at my flat: Exibit A: Exibit B: Parked next to GF's car (Please note jesus type fish in rear window ) Exibit C: Fine Example of how close you can park to somebody and still manage to get out of the car. (Yellow Car) And finally my personal favourite...........drum roll please............ Aaaahhh remember handbrakes ladies..... R

Here is one with the pipercross induction kit...also some carbon bitties. R

I mentioned this to Tony (Chilli Red) last night Future Chrome tanks will have smaller nozzles Back on Topic!! YAY! Can i swap R

Found this on DW. http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/s ... p?t=113472 R

A decent polisher should be able to do it for around £60-80 in around 4 hours i believe. R

Ooops, I think i took that too far R

Anyone attending the memorial this afternoon? R

Yup they will jam the radar detector but you will still probably be pulled over and charged with obstruction, don't think the police like them much. R

How you getting on with this project Chris? R

Finally gone in to the body shop today, about 2 months after the bump...what a pain. Got a funny look from the woman at reception when i told her to tell the guys NOT TO WASH IT... All i got was, "its ok its handwashed".....yeah by a 12 year old lithuaniun with a ball of wire wool and a bucket of grit probably. Cant wait to get her back R

Yeah a carbon bonnet would look awsome, here is a quick and dirty photomash..spent all of 1minute on it. Gives an idea of a darker bonnet though...looks R

Well done mate, looks awsome R

Looks nice mate, did you get your carpet from M350ZB? R

Oh dear this is going downhill fast........... R

I never said they wouldn't, but I would rather pay more for a car with low miles and had been cared for than because it is a fancy colour. It's all down to personal preferance.

I had a choice between a black and a GM zed, both fairly similar specs...i chose the GM because I liked it, no other reason apart from maybe its a bit easier to clean and it was in very good condition. Its all down to how much someone is willing to pay for it, for example there might be only 10 people in 100 who would drive around in a yellow zed where as perhaps 60 out of 100 who would drive GM. I think milage, FSH and general standard of care outweights the colour. Although there will always be people who are set on a colour and that will be all they will look for. R

You have to admit though there is a slight homo erotism when it comes to certain nautical terms......

Looks First mod though, definatly needs a stubby. That arial at the back is WAY to big R

Perhaps he has kept it and had it fashioned into autocare products......give him a call and find out......thats your job. R

Crikey, that is big! Well it's not quite that big....but two pats should do the job R If they do it will it stop swirls? well pat sharps head may be an efficient method of drying..im sure their is a fair amount of absorbancy in that bad boy mullet, will leave a streak free shine. R

It's just simple science bud. Dragging anything across the car will leave some sort of mark. The point with a rubber blade is that anything trapped under it will be dragged and could mark the paint. The blade itself is guaranteed non scratch, just not the stuff it traps! As for cloths coming out of sealed bags, no-one is saying that, just that the towel ABSORBS the water and any residual dirt as opposed to moving across the surface. It's the same theory as the sponge vs. wash mitt. I appriciate what your saying mate but even when patting down you will push the dirt into the paint / wax (even if there is hardly any there) and then when it comes to washing your going to drag the dirt along with the mitt... cause the dirt is more firmly fixed to the car its not going to pick up in the mitt like it would if it floated... Or even when using a wax or polish after the dirt would get picked up in the foam applicator... If there is still water on the car in "pools" the dirt would / could / may be in a state of suspension thus when wiping with the blade it will be carried away with the water.... When thinking about it, 2 swipes with the blade clears the roof, 3 swipes on the bonnet, 1 on each side and the spoiler and job is done so no chance of swirls (but with your argument a chance of a slight scratch....) Doors and other bits dont need doing cause of using the vario lance. The whole car is then dryed with one waffle that dosnt get really wet as most of the water has gone. Am not saying either way is right or wrong, just saying that any way of washing can cause issues but with the amount of stone chips we all pick up and the other weather conditions / state of roads in this country a few microscopic marks arnt going to worry me! I think the point in washing with a mit and drying with a towel is that they have deeper pile with holds the dirt into the pile rather than on the surface which "minimises" the chances of scratching the paintwork. As you said though its all personal choice on how anal you want to be with your cleaning regime. R

Just out of curiosity how does everyone wash their towels? I got scolded by my mate for washing them in the machine with detergent.....i know the salt in them is bad and all but if they go in for a full cycle there shouldn't be any detergent left on them. R

Crikey, that is big! Well it's not quite that big....but two pats should do the job R
