  1. well thats no help is it................. you balloon...........!!! True but it is a fairly common IT response.
  2. Hibernate lets you turn off your computer so that when you restart it, everything is restored exactly as you left it, including unclosed programs and documents. Standby or sleep is used mainly for conserving power. Standby does not store unsaved information on your hard disk; it's stored in the computer memory. If there is an interruption in power, information in memory is lost.
  3. Nissan European depo is in Holland as far as I know. Any time I've been at the dealers, Nissan or Toyota, and seen parts arrive it's always by courier. Can never understand delays. Guy
  4. Might seem a bit of a stupid question but as Rob is getting a white MY08 it'll have two intakes so what's the deal with prices and kit options? It is a white MY08 isn't it Rib? Guy
  5. This is funny. Only just reading this thread. I bought a 400d that came with the same extras from ebay a few weeks ago. Made sure I got a new one as opposed to a reconditioned one. Presumably the same seller. All I need now is the sun to make an appearance. It did today but I had to work and car is parked down the road from where they are demolishing a building so never clean. I managed to get a pic of my cat yesterday having a lazy Sunday on top of the cooker. As photobucket auto resizes I’ve cut out a section from the second pic. Loving the camera. Taken with the stock lens.

    Z keyring

    With my first Z the dealer sent me this thing With my second I got a plastic thing that had the dealers name on it so I replaced it with this Now I have an LED torch that I, like a child, foolishly looked straight into when I was given it
  7. Bring back corporal punishment. I know it doesn’t relate to Lomoto’s topic but lack of punishment is what starts people out on road to not giving a @*!#. Kids no longer know the difference between right and wrong. You can’t even slap a child now. I saw some woman on a discussion show yesterday morning. She said she was on benefits because she couldn’t get a job and was depressed. When pressed she said she didn’t want a job because she wants a career.
  8. I prefer the Ings one but still firmly believe the Z looks best with the stock lip spoiler. Looks even better with the stock lip and the rest Nismo. Just cant afford it myself. Guy

    short shifter

    It feels like something catches on the right of gate, not always but certainly when cold. As for turning my hand 180 degrees, I'm not sure I can do that without some pain! Not quite sure what you mean.... I was assuming you shift with your hand on the left side of the shifter (most do), so it's about 180 clockwise so your hand is now on the right side (or right side of center), thumb facing down. This forces the shifter to ride the guide plate down to the gate. If your hand is on the left side of the shifter you're almost guaranteed to hit right of the gate, particularly if you're getting a little spirited (basic ergonometrics) because you will naturally pull the shifter more toward the 4th gear gate. Less shift force almost always gets you cleaner shifts. Winter time before everything has had a chance to warm up, yeah, the tranny will be a little notchy, but everything should fall into place in a mile or so. Spot on Tere. That's the way I've always changed from 1st to 2nd. 2nd to 3rd is with the palm with very little effort. 3rd to 4th with the tips of your fingers. 4th to 5th to 6th thumb up.
  10. Ah the Delorean. Doesn't the story go that Lotus' involvement in the deal was basically to defraud the government? Cant remember the details but it’s still a fascinating story. Lets not forget the drug deal that went down afterwards. Very funny.
  11. So is that 100 mile range at top speed of 156 or averaging 30? Smart move bringing Lotus into the project. People would be more inclined to take a look with a name like that involved.

    Have you read the idiot comments that have been posted to that article?
  14. The original concept car was sold recently as a placeholder until the first car is made in a month or so for $400,000 at the Barrett Jackson auction. Bought by Barratt Jackson CEO and Chairman Craig Jackson.

    GT-R

    Speaking of rich nutcases: Recently at the Barrett Jackson auction. 2008 Ford Shelby GT500KR Due to go on sale this spring at a to-be-confirmed price of around $75,000 went for $550,000. 2008 Dodge Challenger Due to go on sale later this year for around $40,000 went for $400,000. Dodge hasn't started production yet, so the new owner - Barratt Jackson CEO and Chairman Craig Jackson - got the concept car as a placeholder until the first car is made in a month or so. 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Due to cost about $100,000 when on sale this August went for $1,000,000.
  16. I got a call from my bank last year asking if I was ok. I laughed so hard. A friend got a bill on a credit card she didn't have. Her first card was cloned and used to buy a load of playstation type gear. Card was cancelled and a new one issued. The new one was stolen on route and used to buy phones and call credit. She now refuses to get a new card.
  17. Sounds like he doesn't even have the cradle to put the adapter in.

    Zed piccie

    Awesome matey, awesome Sats 4MP Kodak camera for about €400 in 2003 or 2004 and a fair few thousand to get there to take the pics. Some day I'll get back there again.
  19. I got a full tank without asking on both my old Z and new. Had to refill though by the end of the day.
  20. Do they have fresh milk from a mountain goat now?
  21. +8 Readings before and after without modifying the ECU. -1 if you do.
