  1. They changed from 350z OC to include GTR and then 370z. No more cars than that, been like that since the respective cars were announced. Dont see how you can really say they are a Nissan brand website when they dont cover half even the performance cars that Nissan produce
  2. Interesting, didnt know you could add the switches for non-cruise cars. I would say you need to get all this info detailled somewhere, but thats why you started the thread!
  3. And where do we get the hydrogen for the fuel cells?
  4. if you think about it the scanner reads the number plate and converts it to text, it then inserts the text into a database, so the theory is that if you insert code into the database via the scanner instead of a reg plate it will execute the code. The codes purpose would be to wipe the database. Withouth knowing the underlying table structure, the best you could achieve is for the numberplate not to be recognised so that you dont get billed. In reailty, it'd flag up as an error and a human operator will do it and then they'd come after you for fecking with their systems
  5. You can certainly see all the design queues from the 350z/370z in there, just "futurised". Hopefully they will continue to make good strides in interior like they did with the 370z on the next model
  6. Actually, on Gen2 ECU's with cruise control you can have switchable maps. Not that theres much point, unless you want valet mode or girlfriend mode
  7. I'll get your coat How is NS more general? They only do 350z, 370z and GTR. Thats hardly a full Nissan family
  8. Nutter
  9. Whilst I would love this to work, it would take some truely retarted programmer not to check license plate formats before doing the required database lookup. Wouldnt be the first time a retarded programmer got the job though!
  10. Got a link? We can see if we can contact them
  11. TBH these days, theres no point having loads of storage in a carPC, you'd be better off spending the same on a smaller SSD and have it boot faster then get a USB thumb drive for music/films/pics/etc. If you really want a big drive, look at the 500GB hybrid drives that are now out that have a few gig SSD built in. Best of both worlds. My standard laptop HDD lived for a good 3yrs mounted normally in a mac mini, never actually died, its not on house duties doing other file server stuff.
  12. Unless you live down south. Cheapest (good) mechs down here are about £50/hr
  13. They are more than welcome to come to the static elements (ie meet us at the hotel on Saturday afternoon/evening or at the stops on the way round on the Sunday) but they arent allowed to come on the drive. We have enough fun trying to shepherd 50+ Zeds around than trying to add even more cars. Plus it messes up photos
  14. Pfff, get a dog cage behind the front seats and stack the luggage on top of the engine Looks nice, bet its a hoot up on your local roads.
  15. I'd do HFCs/decats, panel filters, exhaust and UpRev and be happy with that gets you. Trying to get more after that lot (ie jumping from 285/290WHP to 300WHP) then starts to get a lot more expensive.
  16. Just for the few hardcore that venture in here - out takes from Danny Mega-skills first internet smash hit - he is human after all (well almost!) http://www.redbull.com/cs/Satellite/en_ ... 2962671366
  17. Tsk tsk Andrew, DOT5.1 should be replaced every couple of years at the least, haven't we taught you anything Only my Avids, I tend to find a bleed once an year keeps them nice and responsive. If you boil the fluid at any point, that would mean you need to change it sooner too, and I know some of the decents you have in the Lakes But yeah, 15 quid seems a good deal. Down here you'd be looking at 50 quid which is why I got the bleed kit straight away for mine. Also as Amanda has Avids too I can do both bike together and not waste much fluid once a carton is opened.
  18. Blob Eliminator should help - http://www.langka.com/blob-eliminator-p-31.html You can remove it depending on how long its been. In my experience any more than a few days and you'll struggle though. Less than 24hrs and it comes off easy, so long as the car hasnt been baking hot in the sun.
  19. A few from my photobucket account Hoon Wales (random years) Random
  20. Good choice matey - thats a lovely looking car Oh not that again
  21. Hibernate uses no power - unlike standby - as it saves the current state of the computer to HDD and powers off completely. Then it reads the last state from HDD on startup which is much quicker than a full boot. I recommend that you use hibernate over full shutdown. Standby on the other hand shuts down everything it can, but it has to keep the RAM powered up, which is when it will drain the car battery. If you get a Carnetix PSU, it wont ever let the car battery die as it has a low volt cutoff
  22. Thats some good numbers from an HR! Think I've got him covered though
  23. Went to the first centre in Reading a while back and test drove a G37S. Very nice car, good toys and decent handling. Not on a 370z's level, but if I was after more cruiser than sports car, it would have been on the short list for sure. Same engine and drive train as the 370z so sure a bit of UpRev magic would have made the engine/drive train side of things better as it was more sluggish than the 370z, didnt feel as urgent. Lovely armchair seats though, great if you do a lot of miles. The missus wants their new baby 4x4, she works opposite the Infiniti, Audi and Nissan garage in Reading so is constantly changing her mind over what she wants next
  24. Hmm thats a weird one then.
  25. Brrrr And why didnt you bleed your brakes yourself you lazy sod
