10 min to start a car.
Could be as simple as the plugs failing. I had HKS iridium things in mine and they didn't last that long, shown up by poor starting. Replaced them with the proper NGK/Nissan plug and it started immediately.

Titania or Zirconia
Believe that the std ones are Zirconia. Does it matter if it does what it says on the can ?

Gas conversion for cars
7.44 Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) has a significant duty differential and benefited from the wider fuel duty freeze in 2004. The Government intends to reduce the differential towards a level more commensurate with its environmental benefits. Budget 2005 announces that the duty differential for LPG will narrow against conventional road fuels by the equivalent of one penny per litre each year until 2007-08. The duty increase in 2005-06 will take effect from 1 September. The current duty differential for natural gas against conventional road fuels will be maintained for the next three years until the end of 2007-08, a continuation of the policy announced at Budget 2004. OK, maybe it's not as bad as I thought, but I'm sure it'll go up more when they feel like a little squeeze on a different pocket ...

Windscreen replacement
Wouldn't it be nicer still to have all the tinted windows match ? I seem to recollect Jeff posting somewhere recently that they were available at quite a reasonable cost - try a search.

Gas conversion for cars
I believe the government only contributes part of the cost and for certain 'approved' cars - doubt this includes Zeds or anything old. I think the performance decease is about 10% Also, I seem to recollect that our friend Gordon hinted at one of his recent public cash extraction announcements (he calls them a Budget), that the 'reduced' tax on LPG was likely to be increased to 'normal', ie Petrol, type levels at some time in the near future - like when loads of people have started using it !

Do front R33 GTR Brembo's have shims on the pads?
My 350z calipers have shims, I just assumed that all Brembos would have them.

NZR. A small challenge
Well you can fight with someone, as in they're on your side against a common enemy. Or you can fight with someone, say a drunken brawl outside a Stevenage pub !

NZR - Networking PC's
You can use wireless peer-to-peer connections and then the Internet connection sharing thing in Windows. Cheaper than buying a wireless broardband router as well, but probably not as convenient.
