How can PPS make your Z shine like this?

"fined"
its because you are more likely to have an accident whilst on the phone than by driving slightly over the drink drive limit. you could aruge it but you'll end up getting a 70quid fine instead heh.

NZR IT Question
$$$ files will probably be temp files. all you cna tell from general protection faults is that something is wrong, usually fixed by reinstalling the programme or windows

MR2 Turbo
go for a revision 2 if you want fun and revision 3 if you want stability I believe is the way to go, rev3 has LSD, I've been in my freinds NA and we've fallen off of roundabout a few times. lovely cars though and not prone to many problems if you get a goodun

People who edited windows host files
If you edited your windows hosts files please reset them, there will be more DNS changes in the coming weeks and your hosts files will conflict with them.

Hoorah!!
im not doing it all on my own, me and craig spent considerable time last week sorting out the new server :) the weetabix does help as well, do you want me to try and get ahold of a weetabix doll for you paul?
-
Hoorah!!
Yes the server needs to be reinstalled at least at the moment, then we need to run tests on it for at least a week to make sure it copes with the load and isn't a hardware problem, The network is also going through a state of change which im working hard on at the moment, and will mean an IP change, so once these elements are all in place we will have 300zx.co.uk operational on its own hardware again, at lesat now we have a backup server if something happens again :) It gives me an excuse to drive up and down the a13 at 150 mph ;) the e-mmidiate future looks stable for 300z.co.uk though :)

Hello from a newbie!
1) Import insurance is higher, depends on age though, 25+ and you will be better than a 21 year old. One with a turbo timer would be handy, but i don't have one and still respect my turbos my letting her cool down. 2) most stuff you would look for on most cars. When the engine is running it should sound like a sewing machine with a beuatiful purr, any knocking then walk away. Also look for smoke under boost and under idle it could mean problems down the line. Check transmission is fine and do a ECU diag, http://www.300zx.org.uk has details on doing this. 3) £40 of petrol will get you just about 200 miles, if you get it serviced at a garage then expect to pay around £500 a year for servicing before anything goes wrong, if something goes wrong expect bills in the £20 - £3000 range. You need to service every 6 months and i try to change my oil every 4000 miles. Buying is cheap, maintaining is costly.
