PC Gurus again - Interesting format that I have no idea as to how to open them.
Try copying one of them onto your C: drive and renaming it to JPG. Or just open with photoshop or similar app.

anyone know my new car ??? 300zx
NGK versions of the correct plugs are as follows: PFR6B-11C = stock plug for standard boost PFR5B-11C = for very cold weather PFR7B-11C = for anything above stock boost (However, If you find these anywhere let me know ;) )

crashed my Z :(
Oil is more than likely from the oil cooler at the front of the car. I wouldn't even attempt to start it as it probably has no oil in it. The boost pipes are also kinked so the air flows gonna be restricted and I have a feeling that the MAF has probably packed up on impact looking at your air filter.

You got a big job on your hands mate. I personally wouldn't feel safe with the car after that. You're more than likely going to have all sorts of problems if you do decide to fix it.

What are the...
I'm 34 and will always get pulled over if I drive throgh london to the other side. They check my legal tints, they bitch to me about my number plate, I've even been pulled over for a police officer to ask: Cop: Do you know the speed limit down this road. Me: Yes, it's 30mph Cop: Are you sure ? Me: Yes Cop: Ok, well as long as you know. And that was it ?. problem was I wasn't even going over 30mph, but he stopped me to double check I knew the speed limit. :x:

shot an injector straight through the top of the engine last night!
Blocked injector and some serious fuel pressure built up will do that :). I think on the cdi's they have something in excess of 50 psi fuel pressure, best check with Paul C as he's a merc specalist mechanic.

Good bye SE region
Well I showed up to the Last meet as did Tony B. Others wanted to come and showed interest but due to the timing of the event (6pm on a Saturday) it was a little inappropriate for most. It did seem a bit of a struggle for Neil to get the numbers in. Hat's off to him for trying. Since we no longer have the SE section I can not look to see what sort of event were held or what the attendance was like. My car was off the road for 3 years so I couldn't attend during this time and neither did I pay much attention to that section while I was Z-less. I totally disagree with removing the section without consulting the south east members first. This is the members club and ok, not many people attended the meets, but that doesn't mean that they would never attend. If the numbers were low then maybe we should have found out why first. Maybe South East members just don't like going to a car park, maybe they want something more. What is needed is to try something different. i.e. different timings that will suit the majority (Sunday's around midday is always a good time). Or even a different kind of event altogether. We have brands hatch near us, they may be able to offer track days for us only even an hour slot would be better than nothing. Many Rolling roads near us as well. There's North wealds drag strip and car show. There's so much that could get attendance up, but even if it doesn't I'd still like the section back even if it's just for me and TonyB :D. If South East members want it. Bring the section back and I'll step up to the plate as the REO if the members want me to.

Dropped piece of spark plug into cylinder...
it's always a worry when you have to result to suck it and see tactics. Hopefully it has blown past but if it were me I'd be stripping off the heads now.

Hp´s for a stock engine
It's a can of worms. Brand new stock engine can hold much more than a 20 year old stock engine. You can push it until it breaks. But it will break eventually. If you think about it this way. The stock injectors are good for 14.5 psi which is pretty much hitting thier maximum cycle duty. The turbo's run out of puff at 16 psi. So if you are going to change your injectors and turbo's to get more power, it wouldmake sense to put new forged pistons in anyway. It's arguable that the stock engine will hangle 400 RWHP unopened but with tubs and injectors. Some engines have been know to produce much more on stock internals. But for how long is never known.

Any Computer Buffs
Once you shut down all the services the majority of programs with specify which service it needs running in order to start. A few badly progamed applications will not. Get yourself cleaned up in terms of spyware and viruses, then also tidy up your hard drive and perform a defrag. All this helps to speed up a little.
