Oh, and whilst we are having a PC love in if anyone can tell me why "named" fails to start on fedora core I'd appreciate any suggestions.

I get a "rndc: connect failed: connection refused" when checking the status, I have tried disabling iptables and the rndc key is used in both rndc.conf and named.conf and google is no help........

oh well best get on with it......

what's the nightmare, can we help in some way

Or even mock you for doing something silly

no seriously, happy to help, especially if its embarrasing

In the latest EVO page 061 this training outfit http://www.catdrivertraining.co.uk put in a plug directed at Z drivers

From what I hear the CAT guys are pretty good, apparently they did some of the dynamics testing of the Zed and if you are a member of "another forum" :cough: you can get a discount on their course.

A day with Andy Walsh is money well spent too www.carlimits.com, he even does female only days if you prefer.

get yourself on some driver training, its the most cost effective performance improvement you can buy for your car.

My sympathies to you and your family.

no professional drivers please

Whats a track?

Can I have a go please?

Went into the dealer today to get my lambda sensor fixed.....

anyhoo.... Whilst waiting I had a chat with the salesman and I asked when I would be able to take delivery of a GTR well I had to ask, and during the chat he mentioned that there is to be a folding hardtop version of the 350Z with a glass roof (similar concept to the Micra CC roof) which is due to be released before 2010.

Anyone else heard similar mutterings?????

Agree with Steve_b.

The S is a more delicate tool and I think easier to drive fast (IMHO) but you will be having more fun in the Zed as well as being more satisfying when you get it right. The S leaves me a little cold; it lacks passion and drama.

Same driver > the S would shave it.

Enthusiast in a Z vs. Typical owner in S? Do you need to ask?

I have it

no question of legality, you are protecting your property, you do have to careful however if your neighbours property is visible on camera as this can breach their rights so you have to set it up so they are not infringed.

Also, if you wish to use it as evidence in court the pictures/recorded images must be overlaid with the time and date from my understanding of the law, just something to bear in mind if that is your intended (but hopefully not required) use.

must admit it was a while before i sussed the interior lights were push on/push off

the "genius" design of the sunglasses holder that means on a hot day they scold your face off and leave permanent facial disfigurement so you have to jam the shades into the airvent for 2 minutes before you put them on.

like the fact that you cant turn the traction control off completely?

No really, its true!

not really an answer, but if you turn the volume down to zero is it still quiet when you turn the car back on? Might shut it up at least

When the wheels get dirty can I come round and lick them clean?

+1 for le touquet, some parts are like Cannes (big hotels, casinos etc but can be a bit snooty, maybe my bermuda shorts and kiss me-quik-hat were not appropriate apparel) whilst the market area offers a bit more cafe/village lifestyle.

good for golf, horse riding, tennis and windsurfing.

It can be a bit quiet off season (the bigger places seem to shut up shop in the autumn and dont wake up till easter) but this time of year should be bustling

you have pm

My rear tyres have now reach their limit after 25K of reasonably steady driving.

Driving miss daisy?!?

My 'stone fronts are shot after 12K, rears dont last between services.

Currently testing other tyres to see if I can find something hardwearing.

dont ask me to swear on the numbers, but from what I can recall the dealer process was;

- drain the oil

- flush the engine with errr..... .... "engine flush" or toilet duck????

- top the oil up to the "max" mark

- the car was then returned to me to drive 600 miles, why 600? Ask nissan....

they told me to check the oil frequently and return immediately if it got to the min mark but under no circumstances to add any before I returned.

- 600 miles later..... I return to the dealer

- The dealer then checked the consumption by topping back up to the "max" mark.

My consumption was ~200-250cc, I seem to recall the limit was about double that ie; half a litre in 600 miles (but dont quote me on that!!)

Since then my consumption has remained at about this level, no more, no less but I still monitor it closely.

was concerned about mine so had the dealer perform a consumption test, was told it was within normal limits.
