Quick drive around Ambergate, Matlock Bath and Matlock. Grey 370 in Ambergate waved and beeped, nearly missed it.. and then parked in The Hurt Arms at Ambergate and a lovely white 18 plate Nismo parked a space or 2 away.

I'll keep it simple and probably shoot straight up the M5 to Brizzle and M4

I thought I'd update this thread just to share a problem I experienced with static/white noise through the stock Bose amp and stock Bose speakers after I followed this guide to modify the appropriate ISO harnesses/looms (to replace my Bose headunit with a Pioneer SPH-DA250DAB in my 350z) and the solution that I have found, in the hope it helps someone else out. Unfortunately, after fitting my Pioneer SPH-DA250DAB headunit back in 2020, I had what I can only describe as a constant and non-fluctuating static/white noise from each speaker in the car, even with the volume muted/turned all the way down and the engine off. This occurred on all audio sources but was more noticeable when launching and using Android Auto, presumably because the software on my Pioneer headunit was configured to further increase the output volume when using Android Auto. After investigating and researching this issue in an effort to try to get to the bottom of it once and for all, it dawned on me. When following the guide to use the speaker outputs instead of the RCA preouts on our aftermarket headunit, we are essentially connecting the high-level (amplified) speaker output of the aftermarket headunit to the low-level input of the stock Bose amp, which is typically fed a low-level (non-amplified) input. Whilst this configuration forces the aftermarket headunit and the stock Bose amp to amplify the output to the speakers (which results in a much needed volume increase, compared to volume across the RCA preouts) in my case this configuration seemed to result in static/white noise from each Bose speaker, which I suspected was due to excessive gain levels, which in my case could not be reduced via the Pioneer headunit or the stock Bose amp. Armed with this new information and determined to find a solution, I found that many others have experienced similar issues when installing aftermarket headunits into different vehicles with stock Bose systems, and that the solution to this is to purchase and fit a line output converter (LOC). So, that's what I did. I purchased a Scosche Oea4 4-Channel Adjustable Amplifier Interface from Amazon for £15, cut and soldered the speaker output cables on the brown harness (which was taken from the Autoleads PC2-76-4 adapter) to the input side speaker cables of the Scosche Oea4, then soldered the output side speaker cables of the Scosche Oea4 to the speaker cables that were created by following this guide. Essentially, you'll end up with a Scosche Oea4 (or whichever LOC you prefer and purchase) situated in-between the brown speaker connector in the blue circle below (taken from the Autoleads PC2-76-4 adapter) and the sections of cable with heatshrink just above it (where you cut and joined the speaker cable to the dissected RCA cables previously, when following this guide). Excuse the hastily edited photo (courtesy of cs2000) below, but hopefully it makes it clear. The Scosche Oea4 then allows you to manually fine decrease/fine tune the gain on each channel using a screwdriver to adjust and VOILA... no more static/white noise, all whilst maintaining decent volume output! 😁 Hopefully this helps anyone else with this issue and credit to @buster for the modification. It just needed a little fine tuning in my case!

There is a lot of choice out there for that money

Convoy from South?

And that is with the lower tariffs... 15% for Japanese cars, 25% for EU cars to the USA. So with a rough estimate it should be around 73-74k if the tariffs were same as the EU for Japan.

Good luck with it buddy, highly recommend ohlins coilovers,if the budget allows

That looks good. About time someone did something modern.

Lol. Manual Nismo. 68,000 dollars

Well the car failed it's MOT. Ironically one of the coil springs had snapped. I hadn't noticed that. So looks like I'm buying coilovers! Had a look and I think the Meister R's are the sweet spot for me. Garage said they're happy to keep hold of the car for me over the weekend and into next week and fit the new suspension for me when it gets in. Also failed on the check engine light. I didn't have that when I took it in but was getting a slight intermitant misfire. I suspect it has a weak coilpack. So we'll try and clear it for the retest. To be fair, it's nice to have a good garage to work with.

Yes mate completely changed the ride altogether

Ive actually gone for these to on my 350z. I havnt installed them yet. Are they as good as people say then?

I like the idea of a project though. The above motor is in really good order, I think if I could get the abandoned nismo and take time yo work my way through it I could make it my own, if ya know wot I mean lol

Don't know if you be interested 🤔

I actually havnt, I just messaged to let them know its more than I anticipated due to requiring new tyres a new/ repaired wheel, possible replacement bushings, full service and all fluids, missing service history etc. I had said id be interested as I need a project and the owner came back saying its a 20k project.

Hey man, is this still available?

Have you made a offer?

If it was at the right price £ 12-15k.

You might have more joy contacting the manufacturer directly mate

Leave it then buddy 🙂 sounds like you are talking yourself out of it

Brake disks look like they need replaced so that would be new pads also, looks like there is a fair bit of work returning this nismo to safe roadworthy condition. A project, but one that could bite you back I suspect.

I have STS rear mounted single turbo kit in my Nissan 370Z. Does anyone have original certificate/leaflet of this kit? I live in Finland and that is needed to get car in traffic with turbo. The certificate shows, among other things, power and boost pressure. If someone have it please contact me. Copy of it is enough, and willing to pay some of it. Thanks a lot Kind Regards

Checking things further it seems its last mot ran out in April 22 so seems the nismo has been sitting outside unused for 4 years, I think this might dramatically lower its worth,lack of service history etc.
