Unless the guidelines have changed most police forces follow the policy on speeding over the motorway limit (70mph) as under 79mph to be disregarded and 79mph to 86mph to be considered for a National Speed Awareness Course. Over that you can expect a summons. Of course, you can be prosecuted at any speed for other driving offences such as careless or dangerous driving.

Based on a bimetal sensor located at the front of the viscous fan the sensor expands or contracts, depending on the air temperature flowing through the radiator. At Cold Temperatures the bimetal sensor contracts closing the valve, so the silicone fluid remains in the reservoir chamber. At this stage, the viscous fan coupling is disengaged and turns at around 20% of the rotation speed of the engine. At operating Temperatures the bimetal sensor expands, rotating the valve and allowing the silicone fluid to move through the entire chamber to the outer edges. This generates enough torque to drive the cooling fan blades at engine operating speeds and remain at a consistent temperature. At this stage, the viscous fan coupling is engaged and turns at around 80% of the rotation speed of the engine. Source: BG Automotive

Looks like the sign has been relisted on eBay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-car-dealership-sign-Nissan-showroom-/152466415935?hash=item237fb4e13f:g:Y3cAAOSwB-1Yve85

Use compressed air to push them out next time. Put a block of wood between the pistons to stop them stricking their opposite number if they suddenly shift.

But will you be able to reach new heights?

How did they get damaged?

Best wishes on your Birthday Andy!

Best Wishes for a rapid recovery David!

You never know Gary, however this picture may help you decide your upper limit...

I know I've posted this before but... "I am here to tell you that IN MY OPINION it would be better to upgrade your intercoolers and pipes rather than upgrade your turbos if your not going to do both." - Greg D@Speciality Z http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/general/view/2415470/A-little-info-about-turbos-and-pipes-DYNO-CHARTS.html

Rather blow-it-and-see thing I would have thought! Here is some grist for the mill: http://www.twinturbo.net/nissan/300zx/forums/general/view/2615575/Yup-and-Ive-seen-results-over-many-years-of-dyno-events.html

Another one of these has popped up on eBay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/nissan-sign-/152460284795?hash=item237f57537b:g:ETQAAOSw2gxYuhDr

If you PM me I will confirm the production date from FAST.

Greg, I've emailed you the number.

Thanks Guys! It is much appreciated. Look forward to catching up with you at one of the meets.

Simon, I had a brain fart! I have a Kuruma wing, my apologies for that.

Amazing work well done! How high is the car off the ground?

Can you put the car into storage? A lockup or similar. See how things work out for you this year. BTW I have a Kaminari rear spoiler which I am not going to use. It will require work to fit but is here in the UK.

For your tears of joy dear boy!

They may have the shape but rarely have the strength.

Is that something we could take advantage of here in the UK? If so how?

Tapping sound - Hydraulic tappets drained down, take a while to pump back up.

Nice to know, look forward to seeing the car in the metal later this year.
