  1. Agreed - and many thanks for your continued support Dave!! Richard:cool3:
  2. Just plug and play mate.... ....there is no "bulb out" sensor for the side lights!
  3. Nice one Mark - and great pics guys!! Hell you can see the dertermination on Mark's face in that first one.... Richard:cool3:
  4. Ditto mate..... Richard:sorcerer: PS - you dirty post whore....:whistling:
  5. It's the government putting the onus of providing pensions onto employers, rather than the government themselves (or in reality, the tax payer). Basically large companies must offer a form of defined contribution pension scheme to all employees; whereby the employer must pay into an approved pension scheme on behalf of their employees - but on condition that the employee also contributes. This is being rolled out to smaller companies over the next 3 years or so (I believe). Employees have the right to opt out - and if they do not want to contribute themselves then I believe they must; since it is unreasonable to expect your employer to pay in if you have no intention of doing so yourself! The rest is as Misty says above - it's not an additional tax; but the opportunity to start your own personal pension fund (albeit one administered by your employer, rather like the current "stakeholder" scheme that has been with us for 8 or so years now); and have your employer make contributions on your behalf. Do remember, however, that where employers are forced to pay into staff pension schemes; there is nothing in law that says they cannot do this as part of a future salary review! And (speaking as a company finance director) companies do not like being forced to increase their overheads; so if an employer has to contribute (say) 4% of your gross pay into a pension scheme, then be aware that they might consider that extra 4% to be your pay rise for the next year or two!!

  6. Me too..... ....plus I'd have agreed with Groover on the warranty issue too.......:confused1:
  7. Most car's speedometers over-read to be honest mate; even new and (supposedly) high quality cars.... ...although the deviation is perhaps not as much as it was in the "old" days! The question is, how far out is your speedo compared to your GPS - altering the wheel/tyre sizes also has an effect too. And how do you know that your car is actually still limited to 180km/h? I would guess that with 1990's technology, the car will never know how fast it is trully travelling but would have to base it on signals received from the speed (and possibly ABS) sensors. Supposedly the UK spec was limited to 155mph - and in What-Car/Autocar tests back in the day, the 300zx TT did achieve a genuine 156mph top end. I also know that on my UK spec car, running on 265/35/18 rear tyres, the speedo is not far from the read-out on my sat nav at most speeds. At 70, the readings are identical; on a track, at 100 there is barely 2-3mph in it - although at varying speeds in between 70-100 it has been as much as 7mph out; but at 120 it's once again very close.... Like I said, on a track and not the public road... Richard:cool3:
  8. Bloody hell...... What happened there??? I thought it was sold (or at least was up for sale) for a decent price just the other month. How or why has it come to this now.....!!! Richard:scared:
  9. Many happy returns Mikey....... ...LOL - always a problem if you were hatched mate......!! Have a great day!! Richard:sorcerer:
  10. Many happy returns mate - have a great day!! Richard:sorcerer:
  11. ^^^ Sounds like a good idea to me..... And a lot less hassle, if you stick with the 6x9 speakers!
  12. The stock speakers are not a common size at 6 inches (just under 155mm) in diameter - and nowadays the most common aftermarket replacements are 6.5 inches. I guess that's why yours have been butchered mate..... ....I hunted down a set of 6 inchers myself - they bolted straight into the metal housings in the door itself. But from memory, it did not look like the housings would have come off, so I'm not sure you can just get a pair. Your best bet might be the Bose housings Andy is selling - provided you can fix them to the door frame! Richard:cool3:
  13. Not bad for your first time though mate!! Glad you enjoyed the event Ian - and I look forward to seeing the pics!! Richard:cool3:
  14. Many happy returns mate!! Richard:sorcerer:
  15. Wow - that's really looking good mate!!
  16. Hi Rob, sorry to hear of your trouble mate - but it's good to see you back. I hope you can get things back together soon and wish you all the best. Like Allan says, we're all ere for you my friend, take care. Richard

Based on past experience I know he will make great a Super Moderator and will no doubt continue to be a valuable asset to the club. Welcome back Brian; good luck in your role and thanks for your support. It's great to have you back! Richard On Behalf of the Club Committee
  18. Many happy returns mate! Richard:sorcerer:
  19. I like those too Sandy....... .....if there was one thing I'd change on your new Z it would be the wheels. There's nothing wrong with the ones on it already - but like Gaz says, I prefer a nice deep dish on the 300zx..... Go for it!! Richard:cool3:
  20. Very sad - RIP Andy....:sad:
  21. Very nice mate - I like lots!! Richard:cool3:
