Is it optional to Obey Highway Law?
What problem I have with speed camera is the police think that is all you need. They dont stop drink driving and they wont take pictures of drunken drivers. They dont take pictures of people who dont indicate, cut people up, drive in the middle of the road, pull out when they shouldn't, drive at a dangerous distance to the car infront, drive without tax or insurance to name just a very small amount of other driving offences which virtually all I would deem more dangerous than speeding. But because there are no cameras to stop that the police are not interested. 15 years ago traffic police would drive round catching speeders, catching people driving irratically, swerveing dangoursly across lanes on a motorway, driving inches away from the car in front, not indicating and driving drunk, to name just a few very serious offences. Now traffic poilce sit on motorway bridges with a radar gun. If there as a poilce car with a radar gun on a motorway bridge, as long as I keep to the limit, I could swerve across all 3 lanes and drive down the hard shoulder and nothing would happen. I could pull into the middle lane without indicating when a car is coming and nothing would happen. There is only purpose for that traffic police officer, and that is to catch people speeding. Speeding also helps to keep the crimes prosicuted percentage up. Every one person who is caught speeding and sent a ticket, it is classed as a 100% success. 1 person found speeding and is prosicuted. A person who gets beat up in a pub and they never find the person does not help their statistics as it will go as an unsolved crime. Now police HAVE TO have a solved crime percentage of so much otherwise people will lose thier jobs. So what you do is put 1 officer trying to solve 5-6 violent crimes which hardly get a conviction and then put all remaining officers behind speed cameras to meet their targets. I dont mind if I was caught speeding, but as long as the percentage of people driving like tits get convicted do too. But they dont. Speeding is the only car crime they want.

New O2 sensors mixed up!
You usually get 2 the same size of O2 sensor when ordering from the US because 1 side is nearly twice as much at the other side and they are the same bar the wire length.

Asbestos?!
Asbestos is commonly found in brake shoes and pads about 15 years ago. Brakes now a days dont have it but the Nissan probably did. The original brake pads would ahve been changed by now

Sorry guys, need more PC help! <--- Unix specialist, not PC!
Do you have a CD writer? I find that CD writers are much better at reading writeable CDs than a normal CD player. Just telling you for future reference, I am sure you are using a genuine copy of XP ;)

Its too "thin" for high milage cars. It should be good for good condition engines

What screen have you got to? Have you got the windows setup screen when it starts to look like windows or still have the blue DOS type of screen? Give the CD a good clean. Who did you get the CD off?

The main one is make sure is set to master and one is set to slave. If one is set to cable select and one set to slave it could still cause problems. Also make sure you have the cable the right way round. Most of cables now you can only put in 1 way but there are still some which you can put on either way. Why cant you put it on your secondary IDE?

Mad Idea!
Each cylinder has a different grade of piston. Having the wrong grade pistons could cause more problems than solutions. Also cylinder and rings wear down together, putting a piston in the wrong cylinder would mean the ring is not worn to the same shape even if its thousands of a mm.

Installing XP?
The virus like activity is XP trying to write to the boot sector. I wouldn't upgrade from 98 to XP, I would do a full installation.

Rip-Off Garages
From the same place I was told that my discs and pads needed doing. He did take me and show me on one of those tools which measures the thickness of stuff. He said that they where below recomendations and they gave me a quote of £400 to do them. I said no, and got new pads and discs from Halfords on the way home and an hour later they where all on. Cost about £60.

Don't drive tired and wear a seatbelt!
My sister knew some one who had to go on a course or something about car accidents. Some one tried to commit suicide by driving into a motorway bridge thinking that it would be a quick death. However the bulkhead gave way with the force of the engine when it hit the bridge and the engine cut the person in half. They didnt die straight away :(

Anybody got £12k for a 560bhp Zed??
I actually like it. The only thing I dont like are the bumper lights and the vents on the body.

Weird Question for Tech Zed Wizards
Yes it is very possible. You are better off asking on the US sites, as a few do the other way round and convert right to left when they import from Japan. But most of them dont bother. You have to move the battery, master brake cylinder. Move the ECU and stuff like that.

Wrong reply ;) Hehehe I dont have time to protest. Oil prices have gone up, but 2p tax was put on a few weeks ago and another 1.92p (Basically 2p) is going on again in September.

ConceptZ orders
I had delays when I ordered but I kept adding more stuff on. The main one was the greddy intercoolers which are in demand and so there is a waiting list for. The people on here who ordered them in group buy had to wait a while for them too, not from CZP either. If they are saying they are waiting for a product they are waiting for a product. Ask MAC. He knows very well that some parts just take longer to arrive than others.
