  1. Is that a UK or US manual? (ie its not a downloaded one is it). I think the US cars can do this (350z too IIRC) but never seems to come to UK cars
  2. Tell them you will take market rate and see what they offer. Thats always the easiest way to do it. If you give them a figure they will always try and knock you down. It doesnt matter if you are on way less than your market value, they should give you what you are worth. Find other job specs out there and use that as justification. I assume if you are thinking of adding upto 45% to your current figure you are on less than market rate? To put it into perspective, when I moved from permie to contracting, I tripled my take home. Now this is extreme, but when I then went back to permie again only 1.5yrs later, I am now on more than double what I was when last permie. Its all down to your market value. My original employer didnt agree my market worth so I left and now work for someone willing to pay my market rate.
  3. Makes me think I should have sold mine rather than give them away. Oh well its a good donation to the forum or a for the one who's bought them
  4. Slow as you can stand but still making it to where you need to be on time. TBH, if you're on the motorway, you're on the wrong road
  5. I got asked to sign quite a lot of stuff and send it back for wedding prep. I think bar one, they all took a scanned and emailed copy. Far easier. When I was contracting they did the same for timesheets and invoices, they took scanned and emailed copies. Only problem now is I am getting a mountain of paperwork I have to keep as evidence!
  6. I'm obviously not watching the right clip, to me he was already at the edge of the track. Was Vettel assuming he would use the kerb?
  7. Yup. I think from now on whenever we have these "how much power/difference/etc" thread, my default answer will be to lock it and suggest driver training unless they already are a pro race driver
  8. But Georges car with all mods and a remap would be another question altogether (370z gaining much more from a map than the 350z)
  9. Thank god I dont drink or smoke, I wouldnt be able to afford the Zed if I did
  10. +1 from what drove of the 276 it seemed to run out of revs before it should tbh whereas my 296 revs and revs. The interior is the thing that actually swayed me to buy the 296, and of course the nismo kit. If there was an hr nismo the same I would have bought it tbh. Thats where you need the cars side by side though. Yes the Revup engine revs higher, but it has less torque lower down. Whether or not this actually makes a difference on a track I have no idea. An educated guess would say the Revup would have it on the track and standard DE would have it on normal driving (ie when not at 9/10ths). Its all perception though until you get them next to each other. Going between one and the other I've never noticed any massive difference where you say "wow" thats a lot quicker. The only one thats done that to me was going from an original VQ35DE to the VQ37VHR. Talking only about stock engines, no NOS, FI etc.
  11. My missus gets that feeling from the passenger seat, but I feel fine in the driving seat
  12. I managed to just touch a wall before on the old 350z and it did the same, so Hassan may be lucky
  13. Some very healthy gains there Neil. Just be sure not to mess with it when you get it back, we dont want it going boom!
  14. Getting this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TORNADO-SUPER ... 815wt_1032 or this one, still to decide: http://www.vortechsuperchargers.com/pro ... p?pvk=1010 Definatey the first one - it not only has F1 in the name, but Z too Look forward to the build thread
  15. I heard he was getting one of those leccy ones from eBay

    Fuel Leak

    Cant say fairer than that - at least he is going to look at it
  17. If you can hold off til May you can borrow mine, but they dont cost much these days
  18. Definitely Vettel's fault, when he's seen the replays he might change his mind. Pete And even Horner is obviously blind and stupid! What a load of bollox! http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/formula1/17504555 What exactly is Karthikeyan's "misjudgement" that Horner mentions? From what I saw, Karthikeyan went around the outside of the racing line (at the outside of the track), Vettel came up the inside on the racing line and moved to the outside cutting Karthikeyan up. Not sure where Karthikeyan was expected to go? Off the track perhaps?
  19. 97RON will be fine and wont damage the car from what I understand. You could always do a remote remap with Abbey too

    Fuel Leak

    This sounds scary Agree with Alex though, if its only when you fill up and doesnt matter how much you fill up then it must be a seal around the filler area. Get the guy to check again, take a can of petrol with you so you can reproduce it there and then (when the car is cooled down!)
  21. CAN = Contoller Area Network. As Southernspeed says these cause no end of problems. They are a great idea but actual implmentations of them in cars/bikes is very hit and miss, especially as they can be used to cut corners. Done right they should allow components to fail and flag it up so you can still use the bike/car, but in reality and due to corner cutting it often causes whole chunks of the bike/car to fail
  22. Good looking pair you have there How much of a difference did the suspension make Will? Can you describe the difference or was it just one of those indescribable feelings?
  23. +1 seems you need a new toy You two are so fickle Going for a proper drive usually sorts you out
