The bigges newspaper in the world. NEW YORK TIMES. I have a personal website(click below) and have been trying to get more exposure for our type of cars. So I went into an area that no import should. I contacted the TIMES and submitted photos and took a phone interview and a week later I was in the paper and on the internet. HERES THE BEST PART. YOU HAVE TO BE VOTED IN. THEY VOTED A 350Z TO BE LISTED ALONG SIDE. "AMERICAS CLASSICS AND COLLECTIBLES" Its a small step but we need to get more exposure. You can click on my site, and then at the bottom click on NEW YORK TIMES, but I will also add the Times addy here to.http://collectiblecars.nytimes.com/View_Li...ngID=COL7101211post-43903-1193632818_thumb.jpg

mmmm I read this "post" sometime ago but as I sit here bored I decided its time to revist .

Drew your level of enthusiasm freaks me out. Its just not a normal level of enthusism for Australian people, that dont wear flowing robes or believe aliens are a devine being that send messages in celebrity magazines...i wish i could muster that level of enthusiasm - but without the robes

For the record the NY Times is not the "biggest newspaper in the world" unless they distribute an extra large novelty size edition..you know, like bigger than a garage door type a thing. If we're talking distribution the NYT is 37th in the world for distribution, suprisingly for me Japan seems to sport the largest individual circulation for a daily

On the upside you did make a donation, so good onya mate...Finally in your honour here is a picture of a newspaper rack that is now used as a propane powered bbq...complete with Naws

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
