My insurance company actually phoned of the previous insureres and got the details from them

LOL, no I was looking for you on Messager to ask you cos none of these mear mortals would know. Plus my internet has been down for a week or so and work has banned me from using 300ZX.co.uk (on some computers anyway), so that was the only place I could get to ask. Now that my net is back I can get on here. Does any one have the answer?

Yes, audio grabber may be able to do it. Audiograbber can convert whole CDs of music into MP3 in a few mins. Your best bet is to try get hold of a sound editing program like Sound Forge, which can open and save a large range of sound formats. It will be as simple as open the WMA file and the click File Save As and then change the format in the save options.

Contact AndyZ or Petrolheads which can be found in the traders seciton

It goes on how common the tyre size is not so much on how large the tyres are.255/40/17 are cheaper than 245/45/16.

Scorching here too.

I thought it was very disapointing.

The sound is gone when the fan is taken off.

Dont think its a rattle. I think it was the sound of the fan without the fan cover

She sounds great now. Sorry I didnt post this earlier, my internet has been down for a week :mad: Its only about 30 secs long. Click here to listen. 2mb Windows Media Video

There was a 5 year old visiting his grandparents in our street and while he was playing with his little friend, he stopped at the bottom of the drive and looked. His friend told him to "come on" but this lad said "No, I want to look at this car with the 4 exhausts"

the movement of the alternator is very smooth and quite firm. The mechanic neighbour of ours said that the metalic clicking sound is the injectors the the rattle he is not sure of. However, the cam covers where taken off and put back on while I was at work, and I found one of the side bolts for the cover not screwed in. I will try to put that back on tonight and see if it was the cam cover which has been rattling. When I say that before the alternator was not on when there was no sound, the alternator was in place and had the belt on or the water pump wouldnt work. The power leads for the alternator where not plugged in at first. I am going to attempt to set the timing correctly tonight. Where in the book does it tell you about setting up the timing correctly? I want to get it idleing correctly first. Its bouncing round 500rpm but stalls if you dont interveen. Also the engine is idleing at 500rpm or you can use the accelerator to about 1500 rpm. There is no inbetween. Stuart

THe alterator was not connected up at first because the loom was not in the ideal location so we started it without it. It didnt make any clicking sounds then. We connected up the alternator and now its making the sound. We did take one of the cam covers off though too as I had a little oil leak which is now sorted and we took the cover as it looked like the oil was coming from there, but it wasnt. Could it be the cam covers rattling? I find it very strange that it makes the sound at 1000rpm but at 3000rpm is perfectly smooth and purrs. Any one know what type of plug lead to use to connect to coil 1 to test the timing? I got a light gun but it cant detect the pulse from the PTU wire. Mark, I dont think its the VVT but I will check it.

It seems that I am getting detonation around idle on my car. It is around 1000rpm, below that and above that there is none, but on that particular RPM there is, what sounds like, detting. Sounds like there are stones rattling around the plenum. As many people know that I have just finished a rebuild, although the basic timing is correct the actual timing will be out. The idle is also very low and unstable. Can bad timing cause the detting at idle? I presume it can. The battery is also very very low and hardly manages to start the car. The battery is also not holding the charge, probably for 2 reasons; it is an old battery and it is has been off charge for 7-8 months and has gone completely. Could a poor battery cause detonation by creating a poor spark? We had the car up to 3000rpm and it was running smooth. It as only last night that it was detting, hence I think the batter is not helping. Any thoughts please. Stuart

You looking some one to sell you a light or give you a light?

The gauges are not crap, they are old. How many electrical appliances do you have at home which are that age? Most of the time it is not the dials which are bad, its the senders, again because they are old. Go and get another pressure sender unit form Nissan for £80 and I bet your oil gauge will be as good as new.

Tesco.com. When they asked me what it was for I said, a bit of everything, pay off CC, for repairs on car, holiday etc

Up North the beer is cheaper, stronger (not watered down) and is no flat. we also have gravey in chippies.

I have actual seen adverts like that a few times now. One was a nice 98 2 seater hard top. Hmmmmmm. The description thing could have been a problem with the Ebay server.

If the car is not registered to you, then the insurance is not valid. Just something to think about.

I dont like the fact is says details to follow shortly. How much more time does it take to do so. Its a 10 day auction and there is a day left. So "shortly" has taken 9 days so far and still no information about it. Stuart

I have seen it a few times but I dont wave because I am in my daily driver. Was it yesterday at around 4:30. Is it any one on here? Stuart

People in the states have said to have got 500+bhp on stock pistons. I wouldnt take them over 400-420bhp personally just to be safe

Apparently I didnt. I will post the vid up tonight.

I actually thought that the damage on the Pentagon was very small considering a huge passenger jet flew into it.
