Nice clean up. Don't know why you'd park a BMW next to a Zed in a looks competition, there's only gonna be one winner

[quote name='Pritchard' timestamp='1449506337' post='1561596'] Question (if i may), I have a photo that i have taken, but i have since used photoshop to change it to a black and white overlay. where does that stand in terms of submission? thanks [/quote] There's nothing in the rules to stop the use of Photoshop

Everyday is a school day 60L then its 249 at 19mpg, 314 at 24mpg and 353 at 27mpg

You'll do well to find one flavour that matches a specific brand, but the generic tobacco ones I've tried are nasty enough to be passed off as cigarettes. If you're going to get a few, suggest not going mental with choices, but get some tobacco and then take him to a shop shortly after Xmas. He should be able to try some flavours and also he's going to have to get used to going to one instead of buying fags. You need to think about the strength as much as the flavour, because if he doesn't get that throat hit and relief from nicotine craving he'll soon revert to cigs.

Maybe I was being unfair on the Zed's tank. 80L capacity, so 17.6 Gal, at 24mpg that means about 422 miles DTE on a full tank. I do a lot of town driving so typically see 19mpg = 334 miles DTE on a full tank. If I am being gentle on long motorway drives it's more like 27 mpg = 475 miles DTE on a full tank. So basically ignore me

First few submissions in

Nice looking Zed

Fill it up, if the DTE is much over 350 it must be in KMs

I'm not really knowledgable of kits, but I don't think that's nismo, as per the ad. Is it chargespeed?

Looks interesting. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201511289068722?atmobcid=soc4

This is really happening You sure that lower ceiling is high enough? sorry to hear about Mrs K

Not bad for a first effort, it definitely looks faster There might be an 'a' too many in the 'JVC The Perfect Experiance' sticker.

Christmas might arrive today

Sound advice indeed, though in my case it would involve moving to a drier climate, haha. Totally This isn't an instead of a proper repair at all. I'm just trying to get it sorted for when the shambles he uses for a roofer comes round to patch up/repair the previous work done and the mess needs drying out.

In case anyone stumbles upon this via search, here's some info. The lean code was dealt with (by accident) when the MAF was cleaned with electrical contact cleaner, as its was reading very high intake temps 60+. No sign of the lean code since (several weeks, many hundreds of miles). The Cam Position Sensor issue culminated in the Zed spitting the dummy out and taking a long while to start (several seconds cranking) and then the next day, flat out refusing to start. Leaving me with this selection of codes, ignore the ASCD switch that's just the cruise control misbehaving after the steering wheel was swapped out, I should have reused my existing switches. Fortunately Ewen at Clark Motorsport helpfully supplied a couple of genuine Nissan cam position sensors and the RAC were summoned to relay me to my garage. The very helpful RAC chap felt it was going to be such a PITA to relay my Zed he elected to fit the part on my drive instead. Once the bank 1 sensor was swapped out, she fired up first time no problem. Now i have gone down to just a couple of codes: Since the fault originally occurred I have invested in an UpRev cable, so at last I have had a chance to put it to good use and check the codes and also do some logging (more for my learning than anything else). This is a log from after the initial long start but before it refused to start. This is after the bank 1 sensor was swapped out. It's gone down from a +60 flatline to a fluctuating -16 This is a close up of the data without the RPM plotted against a second axis. The resolution of data from the UpRev cable into a laptop is incredible, a 10 minute drive generates something ridiculous like 20,000 collection points across about 20 different parameters. It makes my phone code reader look like an abacus. No real idea what any of it means but it's still dead interesting to have a look at the logs it throws out.

Thanks for the tips gang, always helpful in a moment of need

I've tried reasoning, but you know what parents are like, they won't listen. When he starts seeing 5 litres being pulled out of the air in a big tank though it might give him a nudge to MTFU

Quite a bit, there's a steady drip of water gone undetected for a while so there's moisture in the carpet, some ceiling tiles and god only knows where else. Also it's not been remedied yet, so it'll be ongoing for the next few days. My old man's too tight to turn the heating on full tilt this time of year (it's a big place) and I'm conerned it's literally not going to ever dry out. I initially went straight to rental but knowing the roof in this place and the fact that this the start of the crap weather, not the end, I figured it might be needed again in the next few months.

Calling trades types and handy folk. My parents have a leak at thier place and I need to find a dehumidifier to suck up a load of the moisture during this heavy rain. Can anyone recommend one please? Should I just rent from Jewson or HSS for a week (£130ish) or buy a domestic one for slightly more money (£200) and keep it for a future rainy day? Thanks Stu

along, looks a clean one, fastest colour too

Like number 2, I feel more manly about eyeing up BRZs

I've nailed my colours to the mast tonight by refusing this hot sauce.
