Matt, how are you powering the car PC? If you want, I have a 120W bare board Power supply unit specifically designed for car or boat installation. I used it when I had a car PC for my 206. You can move some jumpers around on the board so the PC stays on for like 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 5 mins etc after you turn the car off so if you just pop into the shops the PC doesn't have to boot up whilst you buy a pint of milk. Also has the correct wires to sense when the car has started up and then will boot the PC. Has sat in my box of parts unused for about 3 years, but it does still work and just thought you may like it if you don't have a solution already. EDIT: Just re-read, M2-ATX, that's what I have. Could always send yours back and take mine for a lot less cash

Looks like (just from the picture) a 370z version of the D1 Spec throttle controller

Interesting read, I think its a shame they scrimped on the creature comforts such as a proper heater and movable passenger seat + steering wheel as I guess this puts many people off. The sparse interior certainly did that with me. However, on my drive back from London Friday I saw two of them (bizarrely, as I never see these) one silver and one orange and I always stare at them, lovely looking cars in real life

Look ace! I fixed mine over the weekend. As I said in post 1, my prototype models were wired differently, this compromised the waterproof-ness of the unit and so the LED's failed after a few weeks, plus the solder joints were nowhere near as good and there was too much stress on the joints. I now have a set fitted wired the same as you guys now that orders have tailed off I actually had time to fix mine! haha

I have another copy of disk 2 which il post out to him Monday. Hopefully this works. If so il create copies for you all and send out. Got another plan if this fails too. EDIT: Quick one just to say the re-burnt disk 2 worked for Andy, but now he's stuck on disk 3, defiantly hold off on these updates guys for now but chuck away disk 2 and disk 3, they're useless. Disk 0 and Disk 1 work fine, and disk 4 MAY work. I'm re-burn another set of disk 2's using the method that worked for Andy, then il test disk 3 with him and disk 4 if necessary. Il post the fixed CD's out to you guys as soon as I know what works and what doesn't. The updates will eventually work, it just seems as though the DVD's all need burning at a very slow speed for some reason, each disk takes roughly 15 mins compared to 3 if burnt at full speed.

Guys, just had a pm from Andy. It seems disk 2 gets stuck and leaves half installed maps, which means no navigation . I'm going to try and get something sorted. For now, it's fine to install the disk 0, but avoid doing the map updates, need to find out what's up.

Whey someone tried them out! Lol Yep the maps update is a fat one. The rough time people talk about is 2 hrs. Better fill up with fuel as you need to leave the car running!

no, I could move mine with light taps with a normal household type hammer, shouldn't be stuck unless you've managed to bend it or something

Was the same last month with the cherry stuff, smelt lovely for 1-2 mins and seemingly went away, then when left sealed up in a non-moved car for a few days smelt like eggs. I wonder if the blind test product is a test. Something hideously expensive but labled with Waxybox own label sticker to see if people just say something looks good because it has a brand name, and therefore people will be so-so about this item

When I did mine I too broke the bolt side of things, ended up damaging about 2-3 threads. Luckilly the nut wasn't damaged and I managed to get it back on straight with a bit of force. Id try taking a file to the bolt side of things and cleaning it up, make sure theres no excess metal lying around and the threads are as straight as possible, and then as above, give Alex a shout for a new nut.

So 3 times lol, but still, the Nismo version should be something pretty special..

I guess reading the very first sentance of the article that the OP posted was a struggle? "The Nissan GT-R gets to 60 in 2.7 seconds." I am the OP haha. I went to wiki for the number there as I figured that would be more reliable, but fine, somewhere between 2.7 and 3.2 seconds !

Mines an 04 and it works fine. Stop car, allll the way to off, then on (last step before actually firing the engine) and off again 3 times. Once yet get out and hit lock it should do a half second beep.

Whats this mystery product?? I don't have mine yet so am confused!

What is a GTR as standard? 3.2 seconds. Its a lot of time to Shave off, but the GTR is an amazing car already. However

I know its not a Zed, but still, hopefully not a http://jalopnik.com/nissan-gt-r-nismo-might-get-to-60-in-a-ludicrous-2-seco-977989126

Ahh il guess mine comes tomorrow then. Have already put an order in for next months box

Why do you travel so far to get stuff done? Team AFM is literally on your doorstep, rtbiscuit goes there all the time. I don't know! I just do, il give them a message too.

Correct me if im wrong someone, but I believe with no power the ECU resets within about 30 mins. You wont have to perform a manual reset for any reason just because you've un-done the battery.

lol HaydnH, I used to have a little Atom PC, but that died so I built that one. I fell in love with the case and envisaged the whole WC build as soon as I saw the case, had to do it.

The new arm comes with everything you need in it, and you don't need to save anything from the old arm. Im sure Alex will pop in here shortly, but its not an easy job without a pit & rattle gun I don't think. Im probably going to head to Kaizer again for the work, along with some more bits and bobs.

Lol didn't want to go that far, just wanted to see my tubing! hehe Looks good though.

Nope and tight would be the answer to that bloomin tight - big breaker bar! Damn, I only have a 2ft roughly bar. Plus I cant get the car fully in the air so ive no idea how you'd get a long bar underneath. My local garage use a big 5 ft monster but they have a ramp to lift the car in the air to get good leverage! Was really hoping you could slide the disks out with no pads in

I don't know the condition of this car before-hand, but you were almost better off just buying a rolling shell for what you've left on the car! lol
