  1. Wierd! :confused: Does the ECU self-learn to use the cars usual petrol then? But surely going to a higher RON shouldn't cause detting if 97 was ok?? You say normal LOL but it hasn't been out that long... ;)
  2. Reply from top gear geyser on zclub site: Ladies and Gentleman of the Jury... I suppose I cannot blame your cynicism, The piece is not to set up a good vantage point with which to jump on new cars - or old, for a slagging. The point is simply a reflection of discussions we have in the office all the time - the new 206 is great, but we all remember the golden years of the 1.9 205. When the 350Z came out, were some Z32 owners interested in which was quicker? Straight line or track? I know a number of Focus RS owners, and they are always going on about being quicker than the cossie, deep from underneath its shadow. The 300 is not up for a roadtest, and will not be in the studio. We have had a Z32 owner come forward, and are extremely grateful to owners - as without them the programme cannot be made. Hopefully when you all watch the piece on Sunday, you'll see... Kind Regards, Rowland PS. Jeremy doesn't like beards. He's never liked Beards. Lots of people don't like beards. Other people do. I personally don't mind them - my dad used to have a beard............. PPS. MPH is not run by Top Gear. I'm on the editorial team and I love the 300ZX - well anything Japanese with a 3.0 24v V6 lump is cool in our book. PPPS. The 300ZXs in our boffin burnout were supplied by Steer From The Rear - a display team, and were not owners cars. http://www.zclub.net/forum/showthread.php?threadid=1275&perpage=15&pagenumber=2
  3. I think he's funny, but I'll still call him a t0sser if he slags off my car :D:D A funny t0sser ;)
  4. Bugger, cheers for that, I wont be using that then. Buy a bottle of octane booster and keep it in your boot for those unavoidable times you have to stick farmers petrol in ;)
  5. Yeah thats what they seemed to think on TT.net, that the advantage was because of the degradation of the existing earth. Not much of a hassle for "smoother idle and better throttle response"...wonder if it'll brighten the headlights ;) Pete
  6. Morning! Hardly the biggest 'problem' lol but something that got me thinking this morning. Trundling along normally lightly resting on the accelerator pedal as you do... when I lift off, there is what I can describe as engine braking for a second, quite noticeable when you are thinking about it. I'm sure it has always done this but can anyone explain what the autobox does when you lift off the pedals? :) Is it simply the clutch disengaging? Cheers Pete

  9. So what is it? Lots of earth wires stemming all over the place from the battery negative instead of just one? :confused: This could be worth doing, get some good quality wires and piece of piss to wire in...
  10. Have a look at this: http://www.takakaira.co.jp/asp/template.asp?id=683&cat=2&prodID=STtPqQqlnMokrNm Has anyone heard of these? The translation is a little fuzzy but the gain claims are there to be seen... Any thoughts electrical bods? ;) Pete

  19. A woman was out golfing one day when she hit her ball into the woods. She went into the woods to look for it and found a frog in a trap. The frog said to her, "If you release me from this trap, I will grant you 3 wishes." The woman freed the frog. The frog said, "Thank you, but I failed to mention that there was a condition to your wishes - that whatever you wish for, your husband will get 10 times more or better!" The woman said, "That would be okay." For her first wish, she wanted to be the most beautiful woman in the world. The frog warned her, "You do realise that this wish will also make your husband the most handsome man in the world, an Adonis, that women will flock to." The woman replied, "That will be okay because I will be the most beautiful woman and he will only have eyes for me." So, KAZAM -she's the most beautiful woman in the world! For her second wish, she wanted to be the richest woman in the world. The frog said, "That will make your husband the richest man in the world and he will be ten times richer than you." The woman said,"That will be okay because what's mine is his and what's his is mine." So, KAZAM she's the richest woman in the world! The frog then inquired about her third wish, and she answered, "I'd like a mild heart attack." Moral of the story: Women are clever bitches. Don't mess with them.
