Unbelievable! (no - really) http://runyourcarwithwater.youbetterreadthis.com/ Watch the video demo when the voice-over says you get 'a flame that is only warm to the touch'. I nearly died laughing!

+2, but they are soooo in the wrong. Unfortunately you really shoudl take the courtesy car back. The dealer is in their rights to ask for it (it's a courtesy car, not a legal right). Sounds like they are stuck in an awkward position. You shoudl reclaim your car, providing it is roadworthy and water-proof, and then proceed with the legal work. Before you go legal to the point where you have to lay out money you must write to Nissan first. You need their reply before you can take them to court and in fact a threat in writing will probably do the trick anyway.

1.Seattle: When a man attempted to siphon gasoline from a motor home parked on a Seattle street, he got much more than he bargained for. Police arrived at the scene to find an ill man curled up next to a motor home near spilled sewage. A police spokesman said that the man admitted to trying to steal gasoline and plugged his hose into the motor home's sewage tank by mistake. The owner of the vehicle declined to press charges, saying that it was the best laugh he'd ever had. 2.Police in Wichita, Kansas, arrested a 22-year-old man at an airport hotel after he tried to pass two counterfeit $16 bills. 3.When two service station attendants in Ionia, Michigan, refused to hand over the cash to an intoxicated robber, the man threatened to call the police. They still wouldn't give him the money, so the robber called the police -- and was arrested. 4.A guy wearing pantyhose on his face tried to rob a store in a mall. When the security came, he quickly grabbed a shopping bag and pretended to be shopping, forgetting that he was still wearing the pantyhose. He was captured, and his loot was returned to the store. 5.RULES FOR BANK ROBBERS: According to the FBI, most modern-day bank robberies are "unsophisticated and unprofessional crimes," committed by young male repeat offenders who apparently don't know the first thing about their business. For instance it is reported that in spite of the widespread use of surveillance cameras, 76% of bank robbers use no disguise, 86% never study the bank before robbing it, and 95% make no long-range plans for concealing the loot. Thus, this advice is offered to would-be bank robbers: Consider another line of work. 6.Police in Radnor, Pennsylvania, interrogated a suspect by placing a metal colander on his head and connecting it with wires to a photocopy machine. They placed the message "HE'S LYING" in the copier, and pressed the copy button each time they thought the suspect wasn't telling the truth. Believing the "lie detector" was working, the suspect confessed to the police. 7.A Los Angeles man who later said he was "tired of walking" stole a steamroller and led police on a 5mph chase, until an officer stepped aboard and brought the vehicle to a stop. 8.AVweb, a weekly aviation news letter, reported that a bungling burglar broke into a Mooney aircraft at the Knox County, Ohio airport and removed its avionics system, including the Emergency Locating Transmitter or ELT. This device sends homing signals if the aircraft crashes. You can guess what happened next. The ham-handed crook jarred the ELT enough to activate it, and authorities had no trouble tracking the perpetrator to his lair. 9.Louisiana: A man walked into a Circle-K, put a $20 bill on the counter and asked for change. When the clerk opened the cash drawer, the man pulled a gun and asked for all the cash in the register, which the clerk promptly provided. The man took the cash from the clerk and fled, leaving the $20 bill on the counter. The total amount of cash he got from the drawer was $15. Question: if someone points a gun at you and gives you money, is a crime committed?

If you are looking in Newcastle then you should use ESR. An excellent job, nice cup of coffee, and done by people who know about the car (and not some monkey who wants to hop in and burn off your car in a 'road test' as soon as you aren't looking - yes it does happen). They aren't Nissan dealers but they will use Nissan part and not invalidate your warranty. You will also get good oil, not the cheap castor oil that Nissan have in 50 gallon drums and use for the micra upwards. I can't think why anyone would chance a dealer in Newcastle when ESR are local.

Even with all the makeup and a fit bod, she is still a bit of a munter

I don't think that much camber is something to worry about at all. That camber will give you more grip when going fast through a tight corner and is quite desirable. ( apart from anything else it looks right on a lowered car ). I`ve many a lowered car and with camber easily as much or more than that and it doesn't wear the tyre any faster (unless you spin the wheels all the time). Look at the pics and you will see that what you actually get is slightly more compression on the inner tyre wall than the outer - the tread is still flat. It you fitted very low profile tyres (say on a 20" wheel) then the tyre wall couldn't compress so easily and you would see the back end running on the inner side of the tread, but with your tyres you don't have that. Don't let the tyre run low on pressure as you could overheat the inner wall on long journeys, but that's good advice for any tyre. Toe-in is another matter. A *small* amount of toe-in may help keep the car in a straight line but any more and you will scrub the tyres of tread really quickly. I think toe-out is generally bad on the rear wheels but I`m less sure on that one for e RWD car. Unless there is a more recommended setup for sports use, I would suggest you make sure yours is still set to the standard recommended settings for a 350Z.

Thanks Phil, er, I think ! ...

Andy, your NOS bottle is the wrong way up! I realise that you are going for looks here, but if you want it to look like it is a bottle that is in use it should be pointing head down to the rear of the car. Anyone who knows about NOS will spot that immediately. Of course you may not care less and apologies for sounding critical
