NZR Phones and Internet
I think that unless some specialist company (like http://www.w20.net) provides a wireless broadband service then you're screwed ...

Blitz Boost Controller Measurement.
US gallons are smaller - 1 pint = 16floz, rather than ours which are 20floz, so 20% smaller.

(NW) Saturday April 22nd: Dyno Day
I should be there and will probably have Karen (and her 350) with me.

aa ffs
I have found (in my very limited experience) that Green Flag are pretty good. They send someone from a local garage so they tend to arrive fairly quickly.

Auto to manual
There are now quite a few people who have done the conversion and I'm one of them. The auto does have marginally smaller turbos and this gives more mid-range torque and slightly less top-end, eg 10-20bhp less, not a big issue on a 300bhp+ car, and it's the mid-range that you use every day. I reckon you should budget up to £1500 for the conversion, but you may find a bargain and get it done for perhaps half that.

it's time to unleash the power!! I hope.
If you're changing all those exhaust bits then try to get a set of the divorced downpipes at the same time. Those three mods will make a difference.

Virus help
It looks like the virus has been moved but not deleted, probably to the virus vault, rather than being executed, which is good. Are you sure these are genuine Palpay payment notifications ? I suspect they're not, just delete them and then log on to Paypal direct to see what you have really got.

Rattling Noise
Still suspect detonation is an option as the rattle happens at high revs, although it is equally common at peak torque, eg 3250-3850rpm.

NZR - Re-mortgage, any good deals?
Try having a search through here :- http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/cheaprates Mortgages are like insurance, one size does not fit all and you need to search for one that matches your situation and requirements.

Z's slated by 'top' Evo tuner in JTuner mag
If he said it about anything other than a Z you'd be laughing. Who cares what he says anyway ....

Speedo changing
Hang on, won't it read wrongly afterwards ! Think about it, if on your current speedo when you're doing 60mph the needle is at 12 o'clock then you'd be ok, if not it'll be wrong ...

Running lean!
So ...... what's the mpg like ? If the O2 sensors always show lean, the the ECU will try to compensate by running rich and your mpg will be poor.

M1
Same as on the M11 above Stanstead. The temp cameras seems to be on blue gantrys and are a bugger to see at night.

NZR Virus n firewall protection.. heeeeeelp! FUMING!!
http://www.prevx.com/ There are others too, like Cisco CSA, but I just happen to know the people who wrote this one and it's pretty good.

NZR Virus n firewall protection.. heeeeeelp! FUMING!!
This is security, there is never a single answer and a multilayered approach is always required. (Defense in depth). So good firewall, good anti-virus, good anti-spyware, good anti-adware and common sense are required. A useful addition would be something like Prevx as well. That tends to help protect against day zero exploits and coveres you to a certain extent for gaps in other defences and your AV not being current etc.

TomTom Map Updates?
Yes, unfortunately that is the case. You can get updated soft/firmware for free, but the maps cost ££.

How can you tell if a metal has been anodised or polished?
Anodising actually dyes the metal, polishing is what it says. So in most cases you ought to be able to tell, especially if the metal is 'metal' coloured, if you see what I mean.

TomTom Map Updates?
Same question, the UK map I have is a bit out of date.
