3 options for this. Chance the face to a 120mph calibrated one, but this obviously limits you to 120 on the clock, with stock ecu you will still be stuck at 112 too. Next up is an electronic convertor. Pretty easy to fit these, will convert it to 180mph, and increase the speed limit to 180mph too. However, it makes your steering lighter, your HICAS to work wrong and autoboxes sometimes go a bit mad with them on. Finally you can do some techy electronicy stuff with the speedo to somehow recalibrate it to 180mph, while not affecting any of the other systems. Oh and you could also just buy a set of UK clocks but these are rare and expensive.

HDD is the main hinderance of pc performance, the slowest link in the chain, by a LONG way, HDDs capable of about 50MB/s throughput, main memory will do over 3GB/s, cpu cache a hell of a lot faster than that. A faster HDD will dramatically improve bootup time and loading times. However it comes at a price, shitloads of noise. Looks decent but for me 160GB is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too small, i'd be looking at 400GB+

I sure would love some FD rotary power for myself tbh.

incorrect, zed has 2 throttles, feeding an intake collector which nissan R&D spent a lot of time and money on designing for optimum performance. They ended up with the long 19" runners which you see filling every last inch of engine bay :p

hope you remember where all those bolts came from :D

Big ones sound pretty good, thats about it. Not as good as an EFi with open individual throttle bodies though.

most of them don't :x:

If they were better then why do all cars run EFi now? ;) they might be better if you like your car to be unreliable, high maintenance, difficult to set up and smell of petrol.

Good show :D But wheres the rest of the engine :p

I can almost guarantee you that the fat cat that paid 35k for the car when it was new did not care about the heat in the turbo's nor anything else.

what on EARTH would you want to do that for?

but it sticks out, it CAN easily accomodate a standard size plate and any idiot can see that, you're not going to fool anyone with that excuse. If it was a recess then you would have a point, but it isnt/

What difference does it make, i'm sure 90% of zeds are thrashed around every day, what difference is 10 miles going to make, thats less than 1 lap of the 'ring ;)

I can vouch that they are very seriously quick cars, would give a zed a pasting in standard form.

You are kidding right? Full size UK plates are ugly as hell. And it will affect performance too, it almost completely covers up one of the air ducts in the bumper.

can only see it being a good thing tbh, go some way to deterring dishonest private sellers.

Adjustable carbon fibre mecanno style one imo. These ones actually provide decent downforce, and don't look that daft if your car is of the right style

Well, I just had a look at seatbelts on howstuffworks. You guys are quite right, that thing must be the inertia part. Seemingly there are 2 system on the seatbelt reel, one that locks up if you unravel it too fast, and another that will instantly lock the belt under very rapid deceleration, this must be what we removed. I guess we'll have to have a go at WD40'ing it then.

hmm, interesting, probably see about a new one then. Seems to just like a normal belt out of any other car though, easy to pull out, winds back in quick, and locks up if you just lean forward too quickly. Every other zed belt i've worn has been stuff to pull out, slow to wind back in, and gets slacker whilst driving until you pull it out a bit more and let go then it tightens again. In fact, in mine, the belts tighten up when you turn the ignition off. Door mounted belts can't be too safe anyway. I'll rip the inertia reel out of the old mitsubishi tomorrow, see if they have any crazy balls in them.

Yeah there was a plastic cog smashed to pieces too so we binned it. Like I say though, it still locks up fine, we tested it numerous times. Is it really dangerous to run without one? :eek:

The big fookin thing behind the crank timing belt sprocket. Looks easy to remove to me, but I don't know whats in the back.

well spit it out, who owns it now

It really ran for 2 days? Im surprised, thought it would be nuked instantly. Might be salvagable, but tbh it doesn't sound good. :(

OK so my mate cainy's pass. seatbelt was FUBAR, it would unwind, but would not retract half the time. So we fetched it off, and once removed, it wound all the way in and would not wind out again. Anyway we discovered that if you remove the green (iirc) cover there is a strange device with a large ball bearing in it. When this thing is removed, the belt works absolutely spot on, wind in and out freely and locks up perfectly when tugged. So, what the heck is this stupid thing for? My belts are both slow to retract, I'm thinking of removing this thing from mine too. Does it have any actual functoin other than fooking it up?
