    Some good stuff to have on your machine....

    Ad-Ware and spyware:

    Ad-Aware 6 - lavasoft as many people have mentioned.

    CWshredder - This is good if your browser has been hijacked.

    Hijack This - yes it is the name fo the program which gives you a log of some crap you may not want on your machine and alows you to remove it, but you would want to know what you are doing before you go deleting all this so if you don't there are plenty of forums out there where you can post this up and get help.

    SpyBot-search and destroy - I like this program :).

    I am also using sygate personall firewall Pro at the moment and it seems alright too.

    did you know that if you heated your engine up to a really high temperature itd make its own naws? :) No really, Nitrogen Dioxide is formed at really high temperatures due to the covalence of the nitrogen and oxygen molecuse. providing the oxygen hasn't been used up already int he combustion.

    Nitrous oxide (dinitrogen oxide), N2O, is formed when ammonium nitrate, NH4NO3, is heated.

    Copied from HERE

    At room temperature, N2O is quite unreactive with most substances, including alkali metals, halogens, and even ozone. It is therefore widely used as a propellant in aerosol cans in place of the CFCs which can damage the ozone layer. When heated sufficiently, however, N2O decomposes exothermically to N2 and O2.

    If this reaction occurs in the combustion chamber of an automobile, 3 moles of gas would be produced from 2 moles, providing an extra boost to the piston, as well as liberating more heat. It also has a number of other benefits. The increased oxygen provides more efficient combustion of fuel, the nitrogen buffers the increased cylinder pressure controlling the combustion, and the latent heat of vaporisation of the N2O reduces the intake temperature. Therefore N2O is occasionally injected into the fuel lines of racing cars to give more power to the engine and to give the car exceptional acceleration.

    Gearbox strength???

    What are the Manual Gearbox's like on the R32's (GTS-T and GTR) are the R33 much stronger or is there just a minor difference???

    A friend has been telling me that he has heard the R32 box's are not to strong and he would like to import a R32 GTS-T with an R33 Box in it or would this just be a waste of money???

    Thanks.
