  1. Good luck, I've been toying with the idea of one of those as well.

     

    When you have it all installed etc let us know how it is, also, I know it day's it will allow steering wheel controls but have yet to find the part from the head unit to the 350 Bose harness,

     

    On a side note, does that adapter have to be head unit specific or does it just have to fit and connect to the 350 harness, sorry for the probable stupid question

  2. It had just come back from Nissan for a new gearbox but I drove it home from Nissan.

     

    I've spoken to Ross at Japex, he reckons it could be the battery in the siren, low temps and not started for 2 weeks could be it, he recommended I go for a drive or leave the engine running for about 30 Min or so, will try it and report back, doubt I'll drive it, most likely the siren would bug the hell out of me

  3. The Zed has been sitting in my drive for the past 2 weeks due to the snow.

     

    I went to start her up today but the alarm keeps going off,

     

    I can unlock and lock the doors no problem, it is only when I open one of them that this happens, I can also start the engine just fine, radio turns on, lights etc so its not the battery, plus its an 08 car.

     

    Just before the snow hit I did have my gearbox changed under warranty but I was able to drive it home from Nissan with no issues at all,

     

    I need help, the snow has melted and I want that smile that all zed drivers have back

  4. Ok, so I have an 08 plate with 30k miles on it, (bought it 2 years ago with 22k on the clock) and I have always heard a little rattle in when in netural, a little bit louder than usual but nothing to worry about, also sometimes had an issue getting it into 6th while at higher revs like motorway slip roads etc

     

    On reading these forums and being at Nissan In Watford I was told it was a characteristic of the car and not to worry about it. Why would I doubt them, Nissans are well built and the car has never put a foot wrong.

     

    2 weeks ago I took it to Ross at Japex, top guy and ex Nissan to fit some front reflector LEDs to the bumper and he told me this wasn't normal, he had called his ex workmates at Glyn Hopkin Nissan and told them I was on my way round to see them,

     

    So, I get to Nissan, they start her up, said the 350 sounded like a bus ad it wasn't normal, I left the car with them as I didn't need it, 2 days later they had stripped the gearbox and sent photos to Nissan GB

     

    Yesterday I got a brand new gearbox fitte under warranty, and she sounds so much better, sadly, the snow has stopped me from having a real test drive but so far it's much better and quieter.

     

    Is there an issue with these gearboxes, a new one shouldn't be needed on an 08 plate with 30k on it (I'm not a boy racer and don't thrash it everywhere). I've seen Geoff+ had a few problems, where they the same

     

    However, big thank you to Ross at Japex, without him I doubt I would have gone to Nissan to complain and for him giving them a heads up about me (they might has said no without him)

    My warranty only has 3 months left to run and should the box have failed after that I would have been looking at a £3k job give or take.

     

    Thank you for the help.

  5. I work in Earls Court and took a walk round yesterday.

     

    In the forecourt they have a 370, 370 roadster and a GTR plus that new Juke thingy

     

    I took some pics on my iphone, just have to work out how to post them up on here now. I went to the show last year, might have to go again after work on Monday
