Al's on 19s

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Amused me anyway.

I went and watched it on Saturday and was very impressed, I think the series has got better as it's gone on. Everyone w@nked on about Hostel and how gruesome it was but in my opinion it was like watching "The Tweenies" or something compared to this. Saw 3 actually has some realism to the gore whereas Hostel looked so plastic. I would deffo recommend it, just make sure you've seen 1 & 2 so that it all makes sense.

I thought I was quite an angel :) obviously not :cry: Years in prison: 22 Potential fine: £7000 Plus a possibility of the death penalty!

It's a 1M ohm. 9p from Maplin ;)

Hexadecimal Explained The hexadecimal system , or Base-16, is a way of counting used by computer programmers. As humans, we usually use the decimal system, or Base-10, because we were born with 10 fingers. Computers are made of zeros and ones, and use the binary system, or Base-2. Base-10 is inconvenient for computer calculations. Let's see why. Humans count 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 but there is no single digit for 10 (ten). We must use a 1 (one) followed by a 0 (zero), hence Base-10. Since computers are made up of ON and OFF switches, these switches are represented by 0's and 1's. So if a computer counted to ten it would look like this: 0, 1, 10, 11, 100, 101, 110, 111, 1000, 1001, 1010 This is simply counting without using the digits 2 through 9 which the fundamental core of computer circuits lack. Base-10 Base-2 Base-16 Decimal Binary Hex 0 0000 00 1 0001 1 2 0010 2 3 0011 3 4 0100 4 5 0101 5 6 0110 6 7 0111 7 8 1000 8 9 1001 9 10 1010 A 11 1011 B 12 1100 C 13 1101 D 14 1110 E 15 1111 F 16 0001 0000 10 17 0001 0001 11 18 0001 0010 12 31 0001 1111 1F 100 0110 0100 64 255 1111 1111 FF Well, a bit is a 0 or 1. A byte is 8 bits: 0000 0000 through 1111 1111. The first four bits give you a range of 16 possibilities. The second four bits also give you 16 possibilities. So if you have 16 times 16 combinations, that gives you 256 possibilities. Or a byte. Now how does this relate to hexadecimal? Well, 16 possibilities translates to Base-16. Base-16 (a.k.a. hexadecimal) uses the same digits we do in Base-10 up to the number nine. Ten is represented as an A, eleven as B, twelve as C, thirteen as D, fourteen as E, and finally fifteen is the letter F. There is no digit for sixteen because in Base-16, sixteen is represented as 10. Confused yet? Examine the table on the right: Notice that the last few rows of the table display decimal numbers 16 and up. Well notice that 16 is binary equivalent to 0001 0000 and translates to Hex10 quite conveniently. Also notice that 0001 1111 turns into Hex1F. Finally, 1111 1111 turns into HexFF. The easy conversion is due to the nature of binary and hexadecimal. Since each four binary digits, sometimes called a nibble or nybble (a "nibble" is half of a "bite"), can be referenced to the hexadecimal equivalent, a very complex binary number can be broken down into binary nybbles and converted to hex digits. For example 10100101110000010010010011110011 can be broken down to 1010 0101 1100 0001 0010 0100 1111 0011. Now each nybble is looked up on the binary table to translate to A5 C1 24 F3. The hexadecimal to binary table becomes the programmers alphabet. Now the decimal equivalent is 2,780,898,547 which is very difficult to find without a calculator. So, the binary to hex conversion is quite easy, especially when you compare it with the switch from decimal to binary. Check out 255: how do we switch it to 1111 1111 easily without a special calculator? It is very difficult. But we know that 1111 is an F in hexadecimal, so, 1111 1111 must be Hex "FF". This easy transition is why computer programmers use hexadecimal. Hexadecimal is a gateway between our human decimal system brains and the difficult binary system that computers function on. If you use Windows 98 run your calculator (Start: Programs: Accessories: Calculator). From the View menu of the calculator choose View: Scientific. Now you have a Hex to Decimal to Binary converter! Just type a number between 1 and 256 and click on the "Hex" Option to see its hexadecimal equivalent or "Bin" to see its binary equivalent. Back to tips.

I think I must be one of those retarded folk :rofl: I've heard of hexadecimal but haven't got a clue what it means or what it's all about. ChrisC - WTF ?!?!?!?!?!?!?! You must have a brain the size of a planet or just be a bit on the strange side. :D

What make of kit have you gone for? Are there many different ones available? Something I've thought about but not really looked into.

:bow: You must drive it how it's meant to be driven. I suppose I average about 20mpg. Jap spec LWB manual TT, de-cat and apexi intake, 19" alloys. 306bhp (just been on a dyno)

A good price for a car that cost £67000 new (assuming it's the CI Sport).

Personally I'd go for the Monaro VXR, you'd still maintain being an individual and have lots of outside interest in what you're driving and they sound lovely with that V8 engine. BMW's are everywhere and don't really inspire, an enthusiast would know your driving one but in general you'd just blend in to the background. I suppose it all depends what you want at the end of the day, to get noticed or blend in. I love the fact that I drive a 15 year old car that can hustle most things on the road and not everyone knows what it is, I'm not an attention seeker but it's always nice to be noticed every once in a while. Go for the Monaro, you know you wanna. ;)

UJCC are having a rolling road day down at Triton Motor Svs in Bournemouth Airport, I'm sure a few more faces won't hurt and you can all laugh when my baby goes bang on the rollers. Info here. I think you can pay on the day too if ya fancy a run.

I dunno, it's got something appealing about it.

You were heading North as I was going South. I was playing with the GPS and only noticed you flash out of the corner of my eye, I waved out of the window though.

I went. :hyper: Had a good day thanks, not many zeds there at all so it made me feel special cos mine was. :hurl: Anyway, the D1 guys rule. :hyper:

Was it you leaving Trax at the same time as me and then playing games down the A43? I was on my best behaviour as I had the other half with me. What's the spec on yours as she sounded sweet and went like a rocket. :bow:

I got my guage pod from zcentre and I'm really impressed with the fit and finish, I got one for the stereo slot too as I'm running 5 guages. They're not hard to wire up and fit, all you need is a bit of basic knowledge and some common sense. If you have bought from http://www.guageplace.co.uk then have a look in the accessories section (I think) for the sandwich plate and rad pipe fitting. If you're not sure of anything just give Nick a ring as he's a really helpful bloke. FYI, I didn't use the rad pipe fitting, I just tapped into the original sensor. When fitting the sandwich plate, make sure you use plenty of PTFE tape around the sensors and blanking plugs to avoid leaks, one of mine was leaking a bit and so had to drain all the oil and start again. :cry: Good luck mate. (Allow plenty of time for fitting so you can get the wiring run right)

I agree with Steve. If you're car was standard I would advise against the carbon bonnet but seeing as it's kitted I think the carbon suits it well. Deffo need the headlight panel too though.

I've just bought one of these babiesclick here a touch on the expensive side, but well worth it. :bow:Cost me more than that though. :(

:hyper: :hyper: :hyper: Det sensor bypassed, new fuel temp sensor, code 55 showing on the diagnostics. :hyper: :hyper: :hyper: Back to full power = one happy camper.

Sounds to me like 1 or 2 coilpack connectors have come off!!!

Uncanny!!!!!!!!! I've just finished fitting all of these in mine. I've gone for Autoguage guages from http://www.guageplace.co.uk I can't say how accurate they are as I have nothing to compare them to but I can say they work alot better than standard ones.

Looks like I should be seeing you all on Saturday, I wasn't sure if I was gonna be able to make it. I'll be on the UJCC stand so come on over for a chat if you feel like it, I'll put my sociable head on and come over for a chat too. Do you know what time you guys are gonna rock up yet?

I bypassed mine on Saturday, 9p resistor from Maplin (although I had to buy a minimum of 10), went from 6psi to just under 10psi :dance: :dance: If you've got the spare money then it's always worth getting the job done properly but for a quick fix you can't go wrong. If you can't get hold of any resistors give me your address and I'll send you a couple.

Hi, welcome to the club. As you've got a Z31 you'd be better off here enjoy your stay here though. Whereabouts in NSW are you?

Cheers for the info, ordered a new one yesterday, only £30 too.
