Exactly the point I tried to make - you have quite a big decision here for coders sat in a valley in the US, that they will ultimately decide if you are walking down the road one day that you die to save a group of people in a car. Should 1 pedestrian die to save 4 people sat in a car, where a driver might not make the same decision? Numbers say yes, human instinct would say no. But then 1 life is less valuable than 4 is it? As with most innovation, the technology is relatively easy, the outcomes and implications are immensely complicated. Who has liability, who makes the decisions etc.

Why are P Zeros nearly always on performance cars as standard? I get that Pirelli probably run a good deal with the car makers, but you think Michelin could get in with as much clout?

Thanks for the comments all, as mentioned we really value trader support on here, it makes a huge difference to how we can support and insure events etc and keep the forum running.

FAO Pro Traders Following discussion within the team we have taken the decision to increase the traders fee from £50 to £55 effective immediately. As a car enthusiasts forum we highly value the specific expertise and great service pro traders bring to our members, and as such have kept the traders fee at £50 since 350z-uk.com's inception over ten years ago despite rising costs since that time. The decision is not taken lightly but hope you appreciate the reason for doing so. As always all proceeds go back into the forum and ultimately to the benefit of the membership. If you have any questions please do drop me a PM and I would be happy to answer. Regards Col

They are the cheapo ones on ebay if I remember rightly? Lots of labour to do, potentially they fall apart in no time at all, and you start over. In terms of performance on headers, by all accounts they do have a nice positive impact.

I think it is unreasonable to start saying things like Brits standing up for whats right etc. and calling out members on here for not agreeing with you. You posted up this asking for opinion, people are looking at it and giving it. Reading this objectively, I would disagree with your original post, in that your first mistake was accepting the offer until you clarified the postage error as others mentioned - you assumed the postage error on your part without confirming it with the seller, regardless with him being unprofessional further down the line, by doing that you ultimately put yourself into a position with having to negotiate it to a level which you felt was correct, which the seller didn't agree with, and here we are. Looking at the profile, he has 100% positive response so far, including many offers which probably were similar situations to yours so it, clearly though he has taken your email about a refund and the review completely the wrong way (as email often can be taken). If he was cheating and ripping people off left right and centre I am sure there would be more evidence of it on the feedback? I think if you are that aggrieved just put it through the ebay system and let them do their stuff - often you do not have to do very much and they take on the leg work for you.

It is a good point, what happens when you pull into a car park? Or a field for a festival. So many scenarios about there which break the system. Don't get me wrong I am all for innovation (it's in my job title!) but I also like to stress test every outcome of innovation - on the road where lives matter the test and learn approach is not one I particularly agree with with certain innovations Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's not the point though...should a computer decide to kill innocent bystanders to save you... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Go there, look at some roads, click PacMan in the bottom left corner...!

Also saw that Uber are pulling a load of driverless cars in the US after the computer flipped one on its side (albeit in a collision with another car potentially at fault) Interesting conundrum for you - clearly the computer is given code to make decisions, if the decision was to avoid a head on collision at speed which will most likely kill the driver and its occupants, but the only way to avoid it is to swerve and hit some pedestrians by the side of the road, how do you program it to decide...what decision should it make.

Most insurance companies only hike it up if you get something like 25bhp+ or something, well thats what I found in my experience.

You might get to 350bhp once you have spent more than you would on a supercharger conversion which gives you a whole lot more. You may as well go for an engine swap than spend another 15k getting an extra 25bhp. Probably the reason why there is only one or two ever done this way because quite frankly, it is a waste of money when you can drop an NA V8 in it.

Yes, I know what the uprev does, but Paycos car does not have 350bhp and will never get near that with whats on it. If you go away and spend £15k on a new ECU/Stroker Kit/Bore increase/fueling changed/injectors/etc its a complete waste of money when you can go up and beyond 350bhp with a supercharger kit.

We all know he doesn't have 350hp, just saying that there's multiple people out there with 300rwhp NA, which equates to over 350hp at the crank. I've not seen the wheel bhp over 300 - it would mean making more than 50bhp on the uprev with mods, mine had HFCs, exhaust, stillen intake, spacer etc and gained 21bhp. I guess if you make some huge changes costing thousands you might get to 350, but not whats on Payco's car at the moment?

I did try a can in Scotland along with some fried food, so took in the whole Scottish experience, I couldn't buy into it sorry - although haggis and tatties...

Parliament of Ekona where one voice rules all?

Sturgeon wants it now because it increases her chances of winning i.e. capability to roll out the PR campaign vs the government embroiled in trying to work through brexit It seems hit and miss if the Scottish people want it now - clearly those that would vote leave will want it now, those who don't, won't If the UK negotiates a great deal, then the likelihood is that voting leave UK because of the main argument of leaving the EU lessens Sturgeons chances of winning considerably Sturgeon has a somewhat right wing tunnel vision view on what she wants for Scotland - this is an opportunity

Its horrific stuff! Water is usually a good substitute for thirst quenching?
