Who has been on a track day?
Book a open pit lane trackday - then you can go on and off track as much as you want, all day. :) The amount you'll spend on the car is much more than the price of the trackday itself. http://www.bookatrack.co.uk are excellent, very well organised and have low max booking numbers.

Pay for points off license
Tell them you've lost your paper licence, they'll send a new one to you without the points on :) Might have to pay though, but it's not a lot. Or move house - then it's free :D

BT Broadband problems?
Excellent info thanks Gaz, yeah it's an old house with what looks like old phone wiring actually. The upstairs phone seems to be hard-wired in :wack: I'm going to pull the maze of phone cable out and simplify it :) Re the microfilters - now you mention it, in our last place we never had a filter for the sky box!

BT Broadband problems?
8Mb - blimey, you might as well download the whole tinterweb one night then you wont have to connect again :P The BT guy said we'd now be on 4.5Mb max when I spoke to change addresses last week, we were previously limited to 0.5Mb because of our distance from the exchange or something, despite living in a built up area of Daventry :wack: 4.5Mb has turn out to be 1.5Mb :rolleyes: Maybe it'll settle 'up'. Still much quicker than I'm used to though :)

BT Broadband problems?
Ah :( Although since I've posted this, it's been sitting and has not disconnected, and the download speed has settled at much higher than it's been all evening.

what injectors do the z32's use?
No - they don't fit CAs, and they're the same size so wouldn't be an upgrade.

Grounding kits...
Just noticed this thread :) Yeah I'm used to the sceptical remarks, some whole forums slate them, though very rarely has anyone actually bought one and not had a good thing to say, often people are amazed at the engine response/starting improvement shown. As Andy says above, yes you'd probably get the same response by renewing all your earth wiring etc but which is the simpler/cheaper job? :wack: Additional earths do make a difference. Nismo do a kit for the 350Z which you can buy through Nissan, they're obviously confident they work on new cars. The biggest gains are obviously seen on older cars where you're adding brand new high quality cables to supplement/replace the tired, corroded standard cabling. Manufacturers don't use the highest quality components everywhere on a car, they compromise to allow prices to be competitive. The quality of my Voodoo cables are ridiculous overkill hehe :cool: As Mark says, poor earthing, although not poor enough to be noticable, has been blamed for radiator and heater matrix degradation. I won't pretend to know why but there are a few threads on it if anyone wants to search :) Re dyno testing - I can safely say that many cars will show no difference to power, and some would show an increase at least somewhere on the power curve if not across it. Of course I'm not going to test this as I'd need a massive sample of cars to rule out air temp/oil temp/etc differences between dyno runs. Anyone who has has a dyno session will know you don't get the same consistent result every run. Your arse-dyno will usually feel an improvement though :p Any power increase would usually be down to the grounding kit 'fixing' a poor earth - no bad thing. Power increases aren't what they're about anyway, I only mention that area because the topic always comes up in discussion. One days I'm going to have a proper dig through my inbox archives and put a feedback page on the site, there's some great comments esp from Skyline R32/33 GTR owners, they love them. http://www.groundingkits.co.uk ;) Cheers Pete
