  1. Adam Boulton (Sky correspondent) and Alastair Campbell (Labour) have a rather heated discussion live on Sky a few hours ago. It gets going at around 4 min 20 s if you don't want to watch all of it. ZTntLzqDzJk
  2. That's even better , there's some good stuff in the workshop manual.
  3. It's possible to do a resistance/voltage check on the speed sensor. http://www.turbosupras.com/pdfs/JZA80%20TSRM/DI.pdf#page=98
  4. My grandad used to vote labour and my grandmother voted conservative, many years ago she once locked him in the cupboard at home so he couldn't go out and vote.
  5. What a great time of day it is for election results to come in, why don't they close the doors early tomorrow? Sunderland should be the quickest to give their result, 44 minutes last time.
  6. There're retaining clips on each end of the gaitors. As far as I remember the small clips can be used again, they're the spring type that you see on hoses that you squeeze together with pliers. I don't think the larger ones can be used again, I can't remember if I just used cable ties. (2 on each end to be safe)
  7. Those part numbers are correct, the same on all models.
  8. Why don't you email Chris Wilson, I know he's supplied stainless hoses to members?
  9. Have you done a search on here?
  10. I wonder where they would rate a highly modified supercar to have single supra's for a snack?
  11. You cannot compare a human with an animal.
  12. In the past I've ground down a standard socket on the bench grinder or turned them down on the lathe, easy if you've got the tools. If you cannot do the above then: Have you seen the wheel nut sockets that have the plastic sleeve over the top so you don't damage the alloy wheel. They have a thin wall, but if it still won't go over the nut then remove the plastic sleeve. Take your ruler/vernier along to Halfords. http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_162289_langId_-1_categoryId_165469
  13. They can go to any wheel, you drive the car and do a 180 degree corner and the racelogic will figure out which wheels are which. (page 18 of manual) You can use a multimeter on the wires that go to the abs computer, jack the car up and spin the wheel to make sure you've identified an abs wire. (It tells you how to do this in the manual) Mine were Injector 1 .. red/blue..... red wire with blue band .......... 2 .. blue/red..... blue wire with red band You can test for continuity with a multimeter to make sure you've got the right injector wire, one probe on the injector wire that goes to the ecu and the other probe on the wire thaT goes to the injector itself.
  14. Yes, I'm thinking the same. I can't find the hoses with stainless fittings for a reasonable price. About £55 for the ones that are zinc plated on ebay. About £74 for the stainless fittings at Demon Tweeks, there aren't many places that sell these.
  15. You have a woman's hand my lord! ..... Blackadder (Tom Baker) They look like new.
  16. Can anyone tell me what these are like with regards to corrosion of the standard end fittings which they say are zinc plated? You can pay extra for the stainless fittings, I'm just wondering if it's worth it? Thanks
  17. Don't look for a form at the post office to get it taxed as there isn't one anymore, just take your insurance and mot and ask at the counter to tax it.
  18. Impossible to say until you've removed the pistons and had a look at the condition of the bores.
  19. From page 42 for the condenser, not sure about the bumper. http://www.turbosupras.com/pdfs/JZA80%20TSRM/AC.pdf
  20. Me too, ankle ligaments. I came down off some ladders and put my full weight on my left foot on the edge of a driveway about 8" high. My mother heard me scream and found me lying flat on my back on the drive in excruciating pain, apparently I had turned as white as a sheet. The nurse said this can be far more painful than breaking the ankle. Every few years it happens again as I've weakened the joint and an uneven surface sends me over.
  21. The young lady that Leckie got involved with in eposode 3 was nice.
