1 dark grey-ish in Fleet headed towards Ancells Farm from the M3 way. Then another dark colour (it was dark outside) going past RAF Odiham. Both cars looked nice and tidy

Could anyone tell me what the rev counter should read when the clock cluster is out of the car, bought a uk cluster a couple of weeks ago and have only just noticed the rev needle is past the redline (ie past the 9000rpm), is this right? does it need power to read 0rpm or is it fooked?? If this is the case is it difficult to change just the rev counter as ive got one that works in my jap spec cluster.

Straight swap 1 set of clocks for another, the needle however still moves as if it's reading KMPH instead of MPH. Nice driving down the road and it reads around 70 when am only really doing around 40 ;) any ideas folks ? Was thinking if a speed convertor was fitted and still there, the speedo would run slower surely ? cheers smithy

Took my car to sheffield to work today. on the m1 on the way back i had a little play. with greddy pro spec 2 on hi, in 5th gear at 70mph foot flat to the floor boost hit 16psi before the controler cut it out at about 110mph WTF? I had it setup perfectly, could take it to the red line in 3rd and would reach about 14psi but in 5th it just keeps climbing I then set all the hi settings to the same as lo thinking i would get about 10psi like i do in low mode and it would sustain it but oh no it just keeps climbing, 16 again, just took longer to get there! i dont want that much boost!

Saw you around 17:30 coming into Inverness. Looked a nice car.

I was just fumbling through some old photos and found these 2 that I really like. These pics have made me realise I do really want to spray my current Zed in the stock Nissan metallic black...

I have moved this post from an MOT-related thread as it kinda deviates from the original thread ! : Cheers , Paul and Scrawni . Actually , I have just dropped the car off to get the tyre sorted . Asked for a quote for an oil change...."

Sad muppet, roof off shades on and scarf round your neck, you looked a prize tart and your car needs washing. :D

iv removed the stupid orange lens! i am going to put an led circuit board in the cluster for both the sidelights and indicators. a major improvement dont u think?.. which brings me onto my next dilema, to paint or not to paint... when my car goes in for a fresh coat of paint i am contemplating painting the blanking plates that house the jdm indicators the same colour as the car, what do ya reckon?
