Yep , it should be cheaper just tattooing DVD player on the dash :whistling:

No , twasn`t meself , oi`ve only the one :wacko:

Thanks , lads . Especially Cyrus , for that full and comprehensive answer :thumbup: . I`m not running increased power , just a standard TT . I need new discs because the current ones failed the MOT . http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=134648 Anyway , I`ve just ordered some DBA discs and Mintex pads from Dan at DTA . Ta :yes:

What do you folks think of these ? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-300ZX-EBC-T-GROOVED-FRONT-DISCS-YELLOWPADS_W0QQitemZ350300157651QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item518f8436d3

Thanks everybodypeeps . Sound advice all round :clap:

Thanks , Yassa . They are 17" wheels BTW .

The car ( a J-spec TT ) failed its MOT today and the garage proprietor , unbeknownst to me , ordered front discs ( non-Nissan parts ) at £110 . I`m not at all sure about the quality at that low price . My current ones are drilled and grooved ( and fubarred lol ) . The nearside caliper is binding too , another fail point . And apparently I need new pads even though the current ones are hardly used . Advice and recommendations please , maestros :blink:

Now that`s a result ! And damn quick too :gunsmilie:

That did occur to me after I`d posted . I can`t see insurance companies ignoring something like that :no:

I was just thinking today how little I drive my car and how much it costs round here , ie Residents` Parking Permit goes up about 9% every year : it`s £132 at the moment :mad2: So that`s interesting :yes:

:bow:

Anyone know if Greg`s post about cleaning contacts still exists ? I have done a Search BTW . Several , in fact :p

ROFL :rofl::rofl::rofl:

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

Yes , it could have ruined what , apparently , was an otherwise very close contest :D

Happy Birthday ! :duffer::dance:

That`s clever :) But I don`t want to know how you did it , life`s too short :rofl: ps Are you American ? Over here it`s highlight :tongue:

On yet another tangent : Listen to " Positively Fourth Street " , a brilliant put-down song by Bob Dylan from the 60s . Genius at work :cool:

I`m positive that the battery is both negative and positive , therefore neutral . The car , however , is negative earthed , I`m fairly positive about that .

Negative :)

Happy Birthday , Mark , have a good un ! :duffer:

Would that not affect performance , `cause it still goes as quickly as ever ? ( I cleaned that up a bit ;) ) I`ve considered dirty PTU contacts , but then surely it would be faulty all the time ? Anyway , Thanks Smithy , Vijay and AthonyD . Much appreciated . Keep `em coming ! :D Brian

You can hardly see it , mate ! It is a Series 2 one though : all plastic apart from the bracket . The car starts first time at operating temp , but if I take my foot off the throttle , the revs drop and you get that sickening feeling as the steering suddenly gets really heavy `cause it`s stalled :headvswal lol

Fitted a new ECU temp sensor but still no improvement . Does anyone on here sell connectors . Mine was brittle and cracked . Maybe new ones to the PTU wouldn`t do any harm either .

Good lad , well done , Harry ! :D
