Chris`I

I'll 'ave a word with the bosses and see what they say

Where abouts are you based matey? Maybe a member could jump in and test it for you

See Colins suggestions, worth one more go, leaving it overnight supported by some wood pieces. Maybe go for a rag around also before leaving it to set, get the car nice and warm, it will give of heat for a while

do you want me to change it to a 370 tag?Yes please EDIT: btw its 370z-uk.net not .com To buy all the people on the above list a set of car decals........ That really doesnt sound like something I'd say Maybe if they all came to Wales I'd get them a sticker if we could get some more Evo Triangle ones

Chop chop

Alraldite Rapid FTW Better hope the next owner likes the mod too if thats the case! TBH, I would imagine that it does need to be kept at somewhere near room temp while it cures fully, that will give the best bond. It really isnt the best weather for doing this atm, not what you want to hear I'm afraid, but its true

But we want pics now

Remind me again what I put my name down for

Such a shame that this doesnt seem to be sticking. Hope it is indeed the weather and not because of the shape. Unfortunatly due to the strength of CF, it might be that the mold isnt quite the same as the bumper, in which case the tape needs to be strong enough to deform the bumper slightly to keep it held to the CF. Ideally you need to keep the CF and bumper warm on application and keep it in place under pressure for as long as possible. Not easily done where it has to fit

How are the Satin ones holding up? Dont know if my black ones were particularly poor quality or if they are all like that Guess you can always put the silver burgers back on again if needs be, its the lettering that is more difficult.

You'll be fine using a hairdryer on it. Infiniti told me they use full on heat guns to get the paint warm to activate the resin in the clearcoat. What badges are you changing them for? I learnt from my 350z not to buy cheap badges. The black pearl ones lasted all of 3-4 months before looking cack, wished I had kept the originals.

In that case, given you are highly likely to get back into it (its all very similar to 35mm days, all the setting and setups are mimicked anyway) - I would suggest the 500D or the D3000. As I have a 350D, and I ultimately get on better with Canons, I will vote for the 500D. Get ready for some lense lust when you get back into it And for the record, the bit about auto mode isnt tosh. If you look at the factory setups for SRLs and P&S, P&S "look" better to most people as they tend to crank up the colour saturation and sharpness. Doesnt mean its a better pic, but it looks more pleasing to most people. SLR will have very neutral settings out the box in auto mode, which can make them appear washed out and soft. I say they look better to most people, as most people like bright colours and overly sharp pics otherwise manufacturers wouldnt set them up like that

Not meaning to sound rude, but if you are not a photographer, are you actually interested in getting into the technical aspect at all? The reason I ask is that an SLR in a non-technical minded persons hands, on auto mode, will infact likely give you worse results than a point and shoot camera. SLRs are designed to be set up and used properly, they dont focus on making auto mode particularly good. Also on the SLR front, you will need to be dedicated to buying better lenses if you want really good results, the kit lenses arent the best usually. You might be better off with a hybrid or normal point and shoot. My Canon G11 is a good as my SLR in quite a lot of circumsances and handles most stuff in full auto just fine. Sure my SLR gets better pics when I set it up, but both on full auto, its hard to tell, with one being worth 2x as the other

Looks like another great adventure Andrew! Having "only" had to climb to ~500m up Grisedale, I dont envy you at all having to go another 200-300m! Bet it was fun coming down. We didnt get out this weekend, but I'm itching to try out my new Garmin next weekend

Very nice matey, good little run around, and its a great road for a little car that you have to drive. Assuming its a turbo lump, you may be able to get a remap for a reasonable amount of dosh which will make it feel great

Yeah doesnt make much difference, the car learns on its own as it detects knock. Wont hurt to do it though.

Works quite well via the AUX connector (apologies for the crappy iphone pics ) Just need RM to hurry up and get the proper harness to me so that I can use it properly with the guide lines etc.

There wont have been any problems if the previous owner had run 95RON, the car will happily run it, you just dont get the most out of it

You have to run it on 95 or higher, but its mapped properly for 98+ IIRC. It wont be too happy below that returning less power and higher fuel consumption, so its really worth running it on "premium" fuel, sometimes it works out cheaper! Running my 350z on Tesco 99RON it returned enough in higher MPG to make it cheaper. Also IIRC the US uses a different rating system, so their fuel rating isnt equivelant to ours.

If I had the money, I'd be a JDM whore too

HB Liam Did you get a nice 370z in a bow?

I would imagine its both a lot lighter and stronger, meaning you save some weight and have a better handling car. Oh and its ARC, so baller status in the world of Ian

Did you fail to see its ARC and titanium? That alone makes it that expensive

Sod that Geoff Doing it with a CarPC sure, I tried that, and it didnt work too well, but it did kindof work, but my programming wasnt good enough to correct some A/V sync problems. Modding OEM hardware and software is a whole other game, no chance! There are options for side camera on the unit, but no one has worked out how to wire them up yet, or how to install them on the car. Installed the camera today, but having to run it off the ciggy lighter 12v and AUX input to test it. Just need the harness to arrive from the US so I can wire it in properly.

Just check out the US forums for what you like, they have way more experience with what looks good on a 370z than us
