the day the earth stood still
original is far better, i dont know why they feel the need to remake these classics, it doesnt offer anything new at all.

help with autogear
if you do a search for "autobox problem, failure, not changing" etc you'll get countless similar threads, first thing to try is changing the oil but failure is a common problem it would seem.

Your car is TWIN turbo and so needs TWIN intercoolers.

More dangerous power cables
oh my word, someone on a suicide mission for sure, I never really understood auto electric could be so deadly until many years ago, a mate "installed" an amp in his rs turbo and had it laying around in the footwell and it somehow shorted out on the sill and almost burnt his car. The moral is if in doubt take it to a reputable professional installer.

check this shot out
I'm just getting into photography, got my self a canon 30d and i find myself analysing pictures a lot more. Its a great feeling when you "capture" a good shot.

Depeche Fans.....
I can't get that La Roux song out my head very 80s inspired and eerie vocals.

check this shot out
just looking at the exif data embedded on those pics it says it was shot on iso 1600 with quite a low shutter speed 1/20 sec aperture F4.5 was it very dark? Great looking zed though.

Turbo Boost
you will need a chip of some sort, and either a boost controller or boost jets that arent as precise as a boost controller but do the job. This is how to install boost jets Linky and you'll will need a chip matched for your injectors and upgrades if any.

Depeche Fans.....
I liked them in the early days back in the 80's but didnt like the change in style when they came back. Might have to check this new one out though.

Metal fatigue and lower arms

Engine undertray?
I've ran without one for a few years but i don't do a lot of milleage and not had any problems other than the power steering leak messing the road up, however I am getting one refitted this week as i'm in a process of sorting out all the small details now the major issues are sorted. Its mainly there to stop crap fouling the engine bay and the front one helps with air intake.

My new Zed!
Well actually its not a new zed but feels like one, just had the Stillen ARB front and rear with new droplinks, energy suspesion 3 piece tension rod bushes, rear track arms and hicas outer bushes fitted and 4 wheel alignment done. The rear wheel hop when goin over bumps, pot holes etc is gone, under braking the nose diving is gone, steering and cornering is much tighter and the sloppy overall feel is gone, I'm one happy zedder :hyper:

Modified or stock
I personally think the despoilered with 99 spec updates bumper rear lights etc looks the best, nice clean lines and has the profile Nissan intended. Heres one of mine from the side I just think it look sleek and sexy, its a shame my 99 spec bumper got destroyed so i settle for a stock one and still think they look great for a 20 year old car.

PC recomendations
most mainboards that you buy your self rather than from a pre built system allow over clocking to some degree, i have an e4300 core 2 duo on abit ab9 mainboard, stock speed is 1.8 gig and its running at 2.7 no problem at all with stock cooler, been running this a year fine. What programs will you be running you need to make sure they support multi core cpu's or its pointless splashing the cash really. I personnaly think i7 is overkill at the current prices. a q6600 overclocked will give you the best bang for buck.

PC recomendations
I say you''d be looking at around a £700-£1k for a low to medium spec I7 system. I would just go for a Q6600 setup and over clock it to 3.4 gig as they clock really easy and you would probably be looking at around £500 or that kind of system. These are build it your self prices.

Speeding
Sounds like a Truvelo they are usually forward facing and have a round lens on the front where as gatso's are rectangle and tend to be rear facing, they have sensors in the road rather than lines like a gatso.
