  1. Not sure of a buttom as such, but you can set this up on most good boost controllers. However, the problem is that most people are running at the cars maximum within a safety margin. It's not ideal to exceed that safety margin. I.e. if you have standard injects and tubs, but have induction, chip and zorst you can push up to about 14.5 PSI max. Most people would just leave it on 14.5 psi. Going above safetly levels is not good for the car and doesn't really give you that much gain compared to the damage it may cause. Hope this makes sense.
  2. The only thing that seems to boost the price up is the buyer not the car. If the right buyer is out there he will pay for the car he wants. If he's looking for a 300zx he will already know how much it costs to get it to how it is. E-bay is not a good place to sell your car, you will get market value rathe than enthusiast value. The buyers on e-bay do not know how much the modifications on your car have cost and how much it will cost them to do the same if they bought a standard one.
  3. I took it a stage further and offer to fly to Italy to visit my family, pick up the car and drive it back..... Still awaiting a response ;)
  4. BIGSSS, What's the e-mail address he used ?. I'm wondering if it's the same guy ?.
  5. I decided to see what the deal was with the shipping scam so e-mailed him back and got this... Hi again, The car is currently in Italy.I would like to use a shipping company for this deal, the process is very easy and I have just bought a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee and this is why I know how it works.This company will handle the delivery of the car and also they will handle all the registration papers. If we will use it you will have 5 days to inspect the car before you decide to buy it.The delivery time will be around 3-4 days and the car will be delivered at your home address. In this time you will receive the tracking number of the transaction so you can use it to check the status on the company website. Let me explain you the whole process: First I will need your details, full name and address. As soon as I get the info from you I will take the car and go to the shipping company to transfer it in their custody. I will pay all the shipping charges and insurances. After the car is in their custody they will send you a confirmation. They work like a CASH ON DELIVERY company and you will not give them any money first (they want only a proof from you that you have the cash available and you have a valid address before they will start the delivery), they will get the car to your home address and will also give you the documents of registration and the car will be left in your custody, in this period you can inspect the car, take it to a service for inspection and drive test it. After the 5 days period is over the shipping company will come to you and if you decided to keep the car you will transfer the documents on your name and after the car is registered on your name they will release the payment to me. If you decide not to buy the car they will get the car back and you will not pay anything.Please e-mail me with your decision and also your full name and address!! Thanks
  6. Just found another Scam on Pistonheads. http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/890306.htm Seriously cheap BMW 7 series. This car would sell at 3 x the price listed. We e-mailed him and got this back. From: Alessandro Balloti Sent: 10 February 2009 12:14 To: ******* Subject: Re: 'BMW 730 D SE AUTO GREY' at PistonHeads.com Hi mate, The you for your interest in buying car.The vehicle in excellent condition and runs perfect, It has never been involved in any kind of accident, and it has got no mechanical problems,the road tax is paid until next year also it is HPI clear.Technical inspection and emissions testing is passed and stamped as well.I`m an architect and i worked in UK for the last 1 year and I've purchased the car there. My project is finished now, so currently I'm in Italy. I've bring the car home with me. I decided that is better to sell it because it`s still registered in the UK and it`s a right-hand drive car so it`s hard for me to drive it here where all the cars are left-hand drives, and I have to pay a lot of money to register it in this country.I realize that is a cheap price for such a car but my special situation makes me do things that I wouldn't do in normal circumstances.If you have other questions about the car not hesitate to contact me. Cheers
  7. Won't be long now ;)
  8. Erm if it's not it's my fault as I'm the mod for that area. I have asked people to PM me if they need something added. I'll go over it now and have a look.
  9. I got my asking price more or less for mine :D
  10. Do you mean Chiming ?. Pinging is when the pining is out. I know 4 chimes means the lights are on. I think 6 means the door is open, thinking about it it gets it information from the source of the interior light. Try removing the bulb and see if you still get the chimes.
  11. You need to get a conzult on it to see what the problem is. You could also try try resetting your ECU. Apart from chip mapping and adjustable FPR's there's not much else you an do to get it to run leaner. Nothing I would advise without diagnosing the problem first anyway. Your fuel pressure if you wanted to check it should be running between 42 - 45 psi.
  12. Nice one Allan. Don't let the power go to your head :)
  13. Too much dairy products is not good for the heart. As already mentioned above have eggs, but then maybe some musli every other day and stick a fruit smoothie in one of the days. Don't have too many smoothies though as this could cause fractose intollerance.
  14. This is a 300zx club. The dyno's and 1/4 miles are all for 300zx's. People who are enthusiastic about the 300zx subscribe. When you subscribe you get access to all the other areas including the dyno section. How interested are you ?. £20 interested ?
  15. I know someone who found him :).
  16. Mac, did you ever get that dyno sheet ?. Would be interesting to see.
  17. We have a dyno section and the top of the leaderboard is CJ's old motor.
  18. This was the first thing I said to my wife as she has just passed her test. Pull away in 2nd gear on ice /snow.
  19. The temp sensor is at the top of the pipe. If you remove it when it is cold there will be no expansion so no air lock.
  20. Not true you can download or put files into ITunes and load them on that way. Battery life is much better with the last two updates. No complaints with it to be honest I've used this phone a lot more than any of my other phones put together.
  21. Gran cheroke jeep :s
  22. I'm trying to think of the command and conquer game which had the hand of Nod as the bad guys. Just can't think of it though.
  23. Let me just find my reciept :)
  24. Looks great mate. As for the top of the dash. I think that looks quite good. But I think you will end up changing it back in the summer once the light starts reflecting off of it :). I put a dove grey on mine and couldn't see a thing once the sun came out. Your's is even lighter so I imagine it will be a lot worst for you.
  25. Excellent snowfamily Dave, did you and the kids build them ?
