Chris`I

Best in what sense? Best flow? Stock air box Best noise? An open filter such as the popcharger Best bling factor? ARC intake Take a look on somewhere like www.Z1auto.com to see what you like. As said above, non offer any performance upgrade with the OEM ECU but do give a better noise and bling factor.

I'd get an OBDII error reader on there to see what codes it threw. I'm not always convinced this resetting of the ECU is always beneficial. You still need to get to the cause of the error. Glad you had a good day in the end though

Welcome back bud. Cant wait to see some piccies With regard the dash, would a retrim in leather or Alcanata (or both) not sort it?

Hannah. As the others have said, make sure you do pop along to Wales. Its a very friendly and fun meet and the driving is cracking

I thought I'd try and get into good habits Chris. I have a 3/8 torque wrench, so wanted a crowsfoot before next Mod day. They have them in the US on ebay (could take weeks!) , have tried EBAY, AMAZON, MACHINE MART - no luck Think you'll just have to do it the old fashioned way by hand! TGM didnt use a torque wrench on mine the other weekend and I never used on on my bike when I did that either, so I think you'll be safe

You doing the brakes chap? Why do you need a crows foot? Cant you just do it up with a normal 10mm flare wrench? I assume you are trying to torque it up properly?

I would guess that both sets of tyres when they have full tread would be not quite right, but right enough that TC behaves. Then when the rears wear more, it puts teh difference between them out even more causing TC to get confused. I would get the same tyres on the front and see what happens from there. We have had loads of examples on here where tyre stagger (rolling radius) has been slightly wrong and thrown TC off.

1) Pads as said before are pretty cheap 2) You need to find out why this isnt working. If its a bulb, nice cheap and easy fit. If its the lamp housing gone wrong - that will set you back over £100 from a dealer (I know, mine went under warrenty!) 3) Not sure what they mean by windshield wiper and washer switch. Its a stalk on the steering column, and if thats broken, it wont be cheap to fix. I would get some clarification on points 2+3 if you go to see it, and if either are broken, unless its an amazing deal, just walk away. There are plenty of good Zeds out there at knock down prices.

Fixed it for ya

That seems like a fairly decent bit of kit for the price Nurrish. All other advice given above is sound too Software wise, CF is the way to go. It does cost money, but its worth it as it actually works and you get good support! Other software out there is a lot more involed in setting up.

Very nice mate. That hourly rate is very good! Very good value for money.

Temp ban (suspend) is the most fun. Bit like roulette, Liam will never know how long each temp ban will last

Yup, as they are not main stream, installers charge a premium, for what I've seen as very poor spec PCs. Bang for buck, a Mac Mini is perfect for CarPCs if you have that much money to spend. Most start with an old laptop or PC and go from there.

Yeah thats the right one but how much? Its only 2 RJ11 connectors and a bit of cable, jesus. It amazes me how much they charge for ready made cables. If they want to get more speed out of their connection I can whole heartedly recommend replacing the master socket plate with one of these ADSL Nation XTE-2005 ( http://www.adslnation.com/products/xte2005.php ). Its a dedicated splitter and gives you a dedicated ADSL port and phone port. It got my connection up from 2MB to 4MB

If you do a search for 350z installs, on here and MP3car you will find an install where they flushed the buttons into the bit of plastic that goes from the front of the cubby back to the screen. Looks wicked The other thing you can try, is some of the Lilliputs allow you to switch to composite when there is a signal on it. So it stays on VGA, but when say the reverse cam kicks in it auto switches. Might work with the DVD perhaps.

What he said I'd go for Autosol. I tried Adrians NXT polish last weekend and it worked as well as Autosol but apparently it has some anticorrosion stuff in it, so is good to top it off with.

619GL-70NP/C (3rd one) is very similar to the one I have. You will need to remove the outer casing to make it flush fit, but its pretty easy to disasemble if you are competant at DIY. The main thing to check (via MP3car.com forums most likely) is that you can make the screen come on when power is supplied. Otherwise you have to press the button. Usually you can enable this through the service menu. Looks like you are on the right track, but its been a while since I installed mine, so may want to check out mp3car.com for the latest models. The newest ones come with transflexive screens which means they are much easier to read in sunlight, which is one problem I have with mine. HTH

Too late

Excellent work again chap. Bet the Ferrari owner was well chuffed

You could try to put them on the wrong way around though I didnt realise how easy discs were until I saw it done. Very easy. But if you have someone elses hands to get dirty, then why not, I'd do the same Mike Try getting the caliper bolts off Ah a good soak with WD40 an hour or so before should sort that out. And a nice long socket

Will see what the social secretary says. Not sure I'll be able to get a day pass, doing a RR the next weekend and the hallway needs decorating Would be good to see a few more faces though

Yup, Dan already has his and fitted, think he went stright to HEL in the end to get a 4 line kit.

Could you post up some options on here Adam? Always good for reference and with 63k on the clock, I'm not sure how much life mine has left. Not slipping yet, but you never know! Just rough ball park figures, what you can get in each price braket.

Thats an excellent idea. You never know when it will be needed and when it does it means your not one of the mindless morons on the scene just standing and staring at the victim You kind of go into autopilot and before you know it the ambulance is there. With regard to loud and bright bikes, what you have to remember is that the sound is dampned a lot by cars sound insulation and the light is only coming from a very small point, so it is hard to see. I know when I'm out on my R6 it is difficult to see me, so road position is ever more important. The kind of crap they dont teach you in the bike test. You really have to keep yourself safe and drive for every other muppet on the road and assume they will all pull out on you or cut you up.

I've had that a few times Stew, bugger to get the car defrosted! Window seals all stuck, wipers stuck. Lots of cold water to thaw it out!
