  3. Hi Guys & Gals, I've won a 350Z Uprev or 370Z ecutek voucher at Abbey Motorsport which I don't really need and so would like to use it to raise some money for charity RAFFLE IS NOW CLOSED!! If your interested just put your name down below. - I'll be selling 20 tickets at £20 each. - After the deadline, if we have interest for all 20 tickets we'll go ahead with the draw. - If there is too little or too much interest we'll review the terms, e.g: we may have 25 people wanting to take part so we may drop the price to £16 for 25 (20/25*£20). People will have a chance to drop out if any changes are made. - After confirmation, payments/donations will be required directly to the justgiving page before the end of June. - Once all payments are received, I will randomise the name list and post the results here (i.e: being the first to register won't mean you're #1, just in case there's anybody thinking 1 is less likely than 7 for example) - On Friday 1st July, a moderator will use a random number generator and match it against the randomised list to pick a winner and the voucher will be sent. Entrants (in randomised order): chrislich TomBorehamUK BJRz evest (350Z DE) EvansJD2112 (370Z) Stan RichKitch JohnM (350Z DE) -Bradders- delz0r Jay M1988 Hodaka (350Z DE) Alio (350Z HR) speckUK Scully BobbyZ (350Z HR) Stuggerz ph 7 NeonCypher Jonny B (370Z) Spacemaker (350Z DE) Alex350Z (350Z DE) flat4matt G1en (350Z HR) 88 Zed Shenley (370Z) davey_83 (350Z DE) Andy_Muxlow (350Z DE Roadster) SHEZZA (350Z DE) Cyder gstraw chips Mack smc1992 Thanks again to Mark@Abbey for letting me resell this item for charity, MrsNiki for organising the prior raffle and of course the forum/mods for allowing this. Thanks & good luck, Haydn. EDIT: I forgot to mention, the company I work for will be doubling any donations to the justgiving page up to a value of £2k. So each £20 ticket will actually raise £40 for charity! Entry details: RAFFLE NOW CLOSED! The Draw!! I've randomised the list above, no to find a mod to pull a random number! Good Luck everyone! Graham (glrnet), our friendly mod has responded: So the winner is... 17 . Stuggerz Congratulations Stuggerz! I'll be in touch via PM for your details. Thank you to everyone involved, the charity will be over the moon with all your kind support.
  4. God I do so many of those things, although this one: I'm far too pro a commuter for those shenanigans, you can hold the button down before it illuminates and it will open as soon as it's ready. On a similar note, does anyone else wonder how you're meant to be a gentleman with a manual/push revolving door?
  5. Miracle doesn't quite cut it! Jeeeeeees!!
  6. I'm quite lucky to have these guys a couple of miles from my house... when I need a new roof I shall be sorted!
  7. Last time we got an uninvolved mod to use a random number generator from tinterwebs. Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk Do they have to wear a bikini? I really don't want to see that...
  8. Doing a raffle is a good idea, either a fixed number of tickets at X price or a minimum at the amount to raise divided by the number of entrants. Now I'm thinking of how to do a fair raffle when nobody from the forum will be there, if we can raise enough I'll put the names in a hat and get the draw recorded at the wedding and post the video as proof... that's gotta be worth some cash on top for charity right??
  9. Hi Guys, I'M NOT SELLING ANYTHING YET! DO NOT DONATE EXPECTING A PRIZE OR ASK ME FOR A PRICE... OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. Firstly I've cleared the resale of the voucher with Mark@Abbey, Graham on behalf of the admins is happy for me to resell for charity and, considering she arranged the raffle, MrsNiki has approved as well. For the first time in the 6 years I've been a member on here I've actually won something useful in one of the many raffles I've participated in! I've won an 350Z Uprev or 370Z ECUTek voucher from Abbey Motorsport!!! http://www.350z-uk.c...20#entry1631355 Unfortunately for me, I've pretty much done everything I want to do to my 350Z so this amazing prize is wasted on me, however I do wish it was beneficial to Uprev twice as it's one of the best mods I've done. As some of you may have seen I shall be getting married in July and my Fiancee and I shall be using the opportunity to raise money for a local charity we support: http://www.350z-uk.c...harity-wedding/ So, I thought I'd raffle off the prize for a good cause... but I'm not sure the best way to do it: 1) I want the money to be paid to the justgiving page for the charity as my company will be doubling any money donated to it up to £2000, so if the uprev sells for £250 then the charity will receive £500! 2) If I stick the item on ebay as a charity auction, there will be no ebay fee but it won't hit the just giving page so no doubling. 3) If I stick it on Ebay as non charity, then 10% of the money will go to them as a fee and that 10% won't be doubled, so 20%. Not to mention paypal charges. 4) I was thinking of asking the admins if I could auction on the forum, I know it's against the rules and I understand the reasons. I could ignore edited posts/bids to make sure nobody changes to a winning bid after close... but that would leave me with the possibility of people deleting posts to remove bids after the close. Unless it's possible to disallow editing/deleting posts from a single thread? 5) Do it via PMs to me? 6) AGAIN DON'T DO THIS YET AS IT MAY NOT HAPPEN!! Instead of the usual winner pays and takes the prize style auction, I could do a cumulative donation auction. i.e: you can donate to the above just giving page as many times as you like. I'll keep a running total of each persons donations and the person who donated the most gets the Uprev/Ecutek without paying any more... but everyone's donations are still paid. e.g: 1) Bob makes a donations of £5 2) John a donation of £10 3) Chris makes a donation of £20 4) John makes a 2nd donation of £15 a) so John would win with a total bid of £25 and the charity would get £50 in all. Unless you have any other ideas?? I was going to kick it off today but it might have to wait until Monday now.
  10. I thought I said if my car was ready by the Wedding I'd send you an invite.
  11. If the Uprev launch control doesn't work for DE then the Racelogic traction control also has launch.
  12. She's a women, surely she was right all along at it's the rest of the leave campaign that have changed they're minds?
  13. I'm still in neither camp yet, but I'm doing a lot of reading in the subject trying to decide. This seems to be an article, like so many of others, which is based on incorrect facts from other sources. For example, the 51.4% of UK exports go to the EU seems to have come from the Remain camp or at least the news publications/researchers who support their stance in some way. According to HMRC's own statistics: "The proportion of total exports to the EU was 48 per cent in March 2016. Over the past 18 months, this has ranged from 38 per cent to 48 per cent": https://www.uktradei...on-EU_Data.aspx That also doesn't mention the Rotterdam effect, even though it's hard to judge the effect that has on the EU/Non-EU ratio. I'm not arguing for leave or remain with the above, I simply mean that the amount of badly written articles based on other badly written articles made by people who have a [probably clueless] opinion or agenda is infuriating! The fullfact.org charity site seems to be fairly unbiased and even though from what I can tell, for example using the above figure: https://fullfact.org...orts-go-europe/

    spoiler......

    It's all virtual reality in the Matrix. (Sorry, you asked for a spoiler).
  15. This is an interesting argument that suggests that the economy would actually be better off outside the EU: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/01/one-glance-at-the-eus-dismal-trade-policy-simply-destroys-the-ec/
  16. So in other words we have 1 or more of the following: - a driver who's trying to save his job - a conspiracy between the depot manager/driver/customer services to cover their companies arse - a story cooked up by customer services - or very unlikely a neighbour who's an arsehole It smells of bullshit to me, I'd get their "story" in writing and take them to small claims, it costs next to nothing and they'll probably settle as soon as they receive the initial paperwork similar to the thing I posted above.
  17. I sued to go through 3 18500 batteries a day, so the mod and 2 batteries in a case is still pretty small. Even with a 18650s I still carry 2 around just in case.
  18. I thought that was the case, the fluch button style should be fine in a pocket unless a key pokes the button in, but I'd still prefer a mod with a lock. You'l probably hear the atty crackling away if the button accidentally gets pressed I guess.
  19. That's the main one, use an ohms law calculator: http://www.ohmslawcalculator.com/ohms-law-calculator Plug in your voltage (4.2V, the batteries say 3.7V but at maximum charge it's 4.2V) and your resistance (0.3Ohms or whatever), hit the button and check the current, if it's below 30A you'll be fine. You'll probably want to leave a safety margin though, say 25A max. The calc is simply V / R so 4.2/0.3 if you'd prefer to not use the calculator. I noticed this with your mod: Make sure all the attys you use with it have a positive/cetner pin that always protrudes below the rest of the atty, you don't want the outside bit of the 510 connector coming in contact with the positive pin. Also, how does the lock on the button work on that mod?
  20. I've donated Col. Don't expect to much of a response from this lot though, they're obviously spending too much on their Zs: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/108670-charity-wedding/
