ATTAK Z

cant help there with a loan I'm afraid, I'm nowhere near Wiltshire

I just bought a bluetooth on here .... where do you live? ......... maybe you could try someone's before you buy

Any help on this would be very welcome thanks

I don't find the OEM system difficult to hear but it IS difficult to use the voice activated dial out function. Don't know why it has 2 independent systems ............. maybe the owner's newer phone didn't fit the originally supplied adaptor and he/she didn't want to pay for a stealer upgrade adaptor and so bought and fitted the aftermarket system

to license less of that andid ..........too soon and she's only 21

Here we go .......... I can sense this thread running to 15+ pages

350Z Roadster - Vehicle not homologated for towing

Now ENJOY PS GM is the best colour

sweet Many congrats

The loads that are exerted on a tow hook are different from those exerted on a towing eye ...... a towing eye has to be strong enough to take a direct tensile load only whereas a towing hook will have to take the same tensile load plus the vertical load that the trailer exerts (unless the trailer's perfectly balanced of course) .........this additional vertical load will translate into a moment caused by the lever arm length of the tow hook which in turn will cause flexure at the point where it's fixed to the bumper strut ......the result ....failure at the point where the towing arm fixes to the bumper strut, damaging the strut and allowing the trailer to become detached from the car..............so you and the Z could end up at your destination, however, the tow hook, trailer and anything that was on the trailer will definitely not Right.............................and you think what the OP wanted to do: "It's for towing a small trailer carrying a racing Kart or Motorcycle to and from the race track" would result in such a failure?.................only asking I don't think any tow bar manufacturer would take the chance of someone overloading even a small trailer with say, a pack of bricks or something heavy like a piano. I was just trying to explain the difference in the loads exerted on the car and pointing out the considerations that any DIYer would need to take into account when trying to fabricate a solution. The consequences of failure could be catastrophic so any advice given in good faith, especially if that advice is given by an expert in the given field, (not saying that I am but I do know a bit about structural design) should be guarded, otherwise you'll maybe end up giving evidence in a court of law and the excuse "Husky told me to do it" when all your lights fuse at 140 mph, will not stand up I'm getting all serious now aren't I ...... I've turned into El Bisque ....... sorry about that .... let's gat back to Zedding

Cheers mate, we've got a few guitars between us but that one's the GF's...genuine Stratocaster, sounds lovely! Yea my first decent axe (after an acoustic Guild) was an American Strat in the same colour, next was a Les Paul custom in white .....nice but too heavy ... currently I use an old Jackson Dinky which I love ....makes me sound aa lot better than I am TBH and the Floyd Rose keeps me in tune

Nice Strat

Yea I heard it scraping along the road at the back of the Zed just as I exited the motorway this morning Upon inspection I found it was held on by one bolt (out of four I think) so I popped into work and logged on I then decided that I needed to make a site visit to one of my projects which just happens to be close to my local garage The nice man there put it straight up on the ramp for investigation. ( I spent so much money there last year that he now treats me like royalty, which is nice ) At first I thought the guys at Sheffield may have not put something back on correctly when they replaced the exhaust a couple of months ago, but it turns out that the ally shield had corroded and allowed the bolts to pull through Mark, the owner of the garage, told me that the bolts will be a bugger to get out and recommended that I run without a heat shield So my question is "Is the heat shield above the exhaust back box really needed or can I just run my baby without one"

Welcome Matt (no pun intended ) .............well yes maybe a bit
