Evening :cool: I'm trying to connect up a new External DVD writer to my pc and having problems. I bought a PCI Card with slots for a firewire connection, which the DVD writer uses. The Japlish instructions say if using IEEE1394 and XP then the drive is plug and play and the drivers CD is only needed if using a USB2.0 cable. In "my computer" I get the icon "DVD-RAM Drive (F: )" when plugging it in, and it appears on my hardware list in the system folder in control panel, but the icon changes to CD Drive (F: ) within a few seconds. When I double click on it an error message box says "F: is not accessible. Incorrect function" :confused: I can eject the DV…

anyone here have this on dvd?? that i could possibly ahem speak to?

To everyones it is today, including me, YAY. cheaper car insurance here I come!! :dance: :tongue:

happy birthday rodders , one of our new members, congrats on your new purchase as well !!

Went over to Skelmersdale yesterday and had a custom made Blueflame Zorst fitted with 6x4 tips. Good people to deal with and a big thanks to Ian for his help and work on this. :bow: The new Zorst sounds great and the car seems to go much better, although difficult to tell as the weather was sh1te, hence the colour of it. :rolleyes:

If you have decatted your Z and you have blown your turbo seals a few weeks later can you please let me know on this thread. I will start I did mine and never had a problem even after three years of fitting.

just you bazz mate need to send me pm then order gets put in tommorra send me pm mate many thx karl

Did everyone see that Top Gear when Clarkson slated Z cars? I noticed they didn't have a 300zx in the studio. This led me to thinking, maybe he makes an exception for the daddy Z? Also he seemed to be pretty keen on the 300 when it butchered the 350z in the old vs new drag race show, Shouting "twin turbo" as it pulled away. Does anyone know his true opinion or ever seen him review one in a car show? By the way I think he is a legend, any different opinions? :bow:

anyone read this fantastic mag, its got a buy a bargain SUPERCAR feature in it this week and guess what it, it has the zed in as a bargain supercar, also a skyline gtr (R32) a lotus esprit, some sort of old ferrari, a porshe carrera 2S, and a tvr not even a sniff of a supra or gto great mag aswell :smash:

just wondering if anyones into model making, as im setting up quite a large scalextric track up in my loft, and....erm....well.......im wanting to add scenery :x: but the only scenery i can find ready made to the right scale is track scenery such as pit stop mechanics, and race control towers. were as im after more on the lines of street scenes and country side and the only stuff i can find like this is railway scenery and it seems to be the wrong scale and its scaled in different terms such as 00scale and hm scale :confused: where as my cars are 1:32(ive got a z32 swb sprayed flip red :D ) can anyone tell me the scale im after in railway terms im sorry i know …

Is he still a trader on here???? if so are there any rules protecting the members that buy from him, I know theres plenty of rules about what traders can and cant sell but what about if the trader doesnt replace faulty items after being given plenty and I mean plenty of chances to sort the problem. Alternatively anyone want to buy a completely useless HID kit for their car, it makes a very nice £200 ornament for the shelf in your garage, just dont ask it to light the road as it is faulty. :headvswal

The PC is now installed and running, what a great piece of kit. Thanks to Legrath for supplying the unit. Next, tidy the boot area and integrate my bluetooth phone for hands free in the car!

Did my rear lights today, the 99 spec look........ NEVER EVER AGAIN....... !!!!!!!! bloody messy, my fingers are hurting, my overalls are ruined....!!!!! but worth it...... from this...... to this..... :dance: thank fook its finished.... APACHE - once again thanks very much..... Andy....

Wow what a difference that makes!! even though I was not used to the Z as I have not driven it for over a month and stalled it at the lights :wack: LOL the pulley really does make a real difference, one thing I notice is I dont have to put my foot so far down on the go pedal for the revs to increase :dance: But I will give it another go in the daylight tommorow as I have to wear the new tyres in, but soon I can drive it again like it's meant to be driven :dance: :dance:

Like it says.... how can I stop MSN Messenger opening and signing in when I start up my computer? Cheers gents!
