i didnt mind when i first saw it, but once my kids started asking me why i have boobies on my computer i realised it would better to find something more tasteful... unless you can make the effort to change your avatar after 9pm, and change it back again to something friendly before you log off..... if you can keep to that sort of watershed, i dont mind ;)

you can also get a separate gps aerial with the road angel, and mount it more permanently if you want. to be honest, the origin looks much nicer and gives more info on the display, but do you really need to know which road you are on, and whether the camera is front or back facing ? you want to slow down when warned, regardless, imho the thing i like most about the road angel is the ability to add and remove sites yourself. it does seem to remember what it was doing before you went into the tunnel, when you come out, so it carries on beeping if it was doing that but it depends on how fast it can regain the signal as to whether it becomes operational again right away afterwards

i moved it :D its not _really_ a Z tech/advice topic is it ;)

Jez, i have a Road Angel on trial at the moment, which i got from Blackspot Interactive, the manufacturers. They offered a bundle deal with the laser jammer if anyone wanted one, which was 580 with jammer. you can wire the jammer to it as an extra interface, and so you can update the Angel with common traps. It is quite good, and most of the sites are also tagged as directional, so doesnt go off for cameras on the other side of the road. you can also add or delete your own sites to it with a couple of button presses, shows your speed, and also has an "export gps" function so you can hook it up to a pc and use it as a gps receiver for other software. it has some accident blackspots programmed in too, not just camera locations, and also "regular" time/distance recording locations. it also has the "dont warn below speed limit" function, although i havent got that working for some reason however, i must admit, having seen the info that the origin unit gives on screen, road number, camera direction etc, it does look a lot nicer. i cannot really fault the road angel though, apart from when bad satellite coverage had my speed at 221 mph the other day.. lol

oh no, Hairsy, you are the last person i was execting to be the first official banned member :D you bad person.....

actually, clarkey-san, they are now set to 100x100 and no of posts is set to 250 :D

have to wait and see when i get it :D i dont think it will be quite as thick as the Koyo's, but definitely thicker than stock, as it will have two channels on each row, rather than one.

ok, here's the gist.... last friday my top hose split, steam cleaning my engine with coolant for me... i had a spare samco hose to put on, but when i took the old hose off, the plastic pipe on the end tank had broken :mad: so, called nissan for some prices... new rad 270 + vat new end tank 40 + vat so i called a local radiator guy and asked about replacing the end tank. non starter, due to strong chance of breaking core. he gave a price for patent part of 170 quid, but when i got there it was for z31, but listed at z32 :( also spoke to MAC about his rad contact for making a new rad with new end tanks supplied by me, which was a good price and definite upgrade unfortunately, the other side end tank is on back order from japan until 28/10 at least, but is available in the US. so i nearly went for that (UK one sid eand US other), until the local rad guy suggested he might be able to get a full metal rad made instead, if i dropped my old one in to him. well... success... he can sort this out.. brass end tanks and double row copper core, upgraded flow and better cooling too !! :D bonus how much ? about 170 quid for cash, else + vat :D tbc after making first one i am leaving my old rad with him, because he said once he has got the first one made and knows it is ok, he will make more if we can order at least 3 at a time once i have mine, i will post some pics so you can all see, and i know some of you have radiator problems too.... ;) he can also put the auto oil cooler inside if required, or leave it out if you have upgraded your own to an external anyone interested in a group buy ?

Clarkey i appreciate the help you are giving out, as i'm sure everone else does... keep it up, you are doing well... might even get you a regular admin role ;) i might even be able to retire soon... lol

hmm... forgot about that... lol also available as the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of every page :D craig@avnet.co.uk

hiya hope you all like the new server and software faster innit :D ok, for those that missed the subscription announcement that was at the top of every forum on the old board for 6 months or so, you can get my address and some other boring explanation guff from emailing me with subject of Join-300ZX you must use the right subject, and you will get an auto-response within 30 mins other stuff.... some of the pages seem to have broken links etc, and the password emails have broken links as well. this is because the dns info has not been changed yet. replace anything that says http://www.300zx.co.uk with 217.158.136.46 until you start seeing the full domain in the address bar at the top. (couple of days max) any other problems, i am getting to them....

the links wont work until the dns gets updated, then they will be fine. you wont be able to edit your rides until i install some of the vbb hacks or modify the code myself, which will be over the next few evenings....

i will repost the details from the old forum shortly, which explain everything. or email me with subject of Join-300ZX and you will get an auto response with the details

Stuart, yes, this is effectively the technical forum now which makes it easy to moderate for the moderators :D and its also one of the few forums that unsubscribed members can post into, because i guess its what most people will come here for initially.... if they decide after reading some of the general forum banter that they wish to join the community, then they can subscribe.... this upgrade would not have happened without the generosity of those already subscribed make sense ?

stu, if you have sent a subscription, then you might be one of the payments i received that i could not correspond to a user name. email me your details please

if you are a registered member, you are able to post here, and in the trading area to deal with the suppliers who sponsor the site. to post in the other forums requires joining by subscription. you are able to read some of the other forums, which enables non subscribed members to decide whether they want to become part of the community, or whether they just want to make use of the technical help and advice the subscriptions from members is what has funded the new server and software that is now being used. i will put subscription details up again tomorrow, when i transfer more bits and pieces over from the old server

thats because some of the links use the full url, which is set to http://www.300zx.co.uk and some of the links are set automatically by the server. Once the dns update has happened all of the broken stuff should work... img tag disabled to see how annoying/beneficial it is when pics are links rather than displayed.... not everyone has progressed from modems.... those poor souls on NA connections ;)

i have run the counter update, but it doesnt take "non postable" forums into account, which all of the old forums are... so, i will compensate accordingly when i get time ;)

scoops, check out one of my last posts in the old general forum here where i said that i had taken the archive point as yesterday afternoon, and everything from then on would be lost... sorry mate, have to type it again...

The new server is finally live. Many many thanks to everyone who has helped out with this event in any way. If you encounter any problems, let me know. Regards, Craig for details about subscribing, email me with subject of Join-300ZX and you will get auto response within half an hour giving all of the details. this info was on the old forum for about 6 months ;)
