I live in Bristol too ...plenty of others around this area too if you need any advice.

 

Do you use Weesex or is there another recommended garage?

Yeh I use Wessex. I did look for a good nissan/jap car specialist garage in the area, but there just isnt any unfortunately. Even though they are a main dealer, they do a good job and prices for servicing are good too

I have also used Howards Nissan in Weston Super mare and they are really good too. If you are still against going to a dealer there is a place in Newport called Ninja Tune Factory..ive seen a couple of guys on here recommend them.

Literally did this 2 days ago!

Used 2 x 1p each side and now the boot lid works properly.

Although I did try putting 4 x 1p each side...but couldnt get the rubber bit back on properly(kept flying off) .....must be a technique to it or I have spazzy hands

Thanks dude, ill PM them.

yeh I thought Jap ones are like UK ones on the back, but discovered mine has no connection in connector 4.

Would you consider selling the 4 in good condition separately?

Im possibly interested depending on price?

Just bought an FM band expander off eBay. Removed the dash fine to get to the back of the Bose head unit I have, fitted the aerial connections fine. But im now stumped as to where to put the red wire which needs a 12V power source for the FM band expander to work.

Im not technical at all, so any help would be greatly appreciated?

Ive uploaded a pic of the back of a head unit below. If someone could point out where I should be putting it? Currently its shoved into a spare hole in the connector labelled Number 1.

Also am i right in thinking that I can plug a "PA15-NIS iPod/Auxiliary input adaptor" into the connector labelled 4 to run an ipod off the Bose unit

I would like to change Bose unit as my is still skipping on a daily basis now and it isnt even that cold, which i dont get.

If I change the head unit for a double din, does anyone know whether I will lose the UK sat nav completely or just the sound?? If its the sound I dont mind as the sat nav women is annoying but i just want to keep the sat nav working and hav a functional working head unit with Radio, CD, iPod connection.

Found this Double DIN unit online and it seems to have everything I want.

I just wondered if anyone knows whether it will be compatible with the Bose speakers in my JDM??

Also on a separate note, I converted my JDM Sat nav to a UK Sat Nav last year by replacing the DVD unit with an UK Xtrail One . I understand it only works with the Bose head unit, is this correct?

What were to happen if I changed the JDM Bose to a Double DIN, would the Sat nav not work at all or would it work but no sound would come out the speakers? and can I make the sound work through an aftermarket head unit if this is the case.

Any help on this matter would be much appreciated.

Im 22 years old and had my zed for 1 year now and still loving it

major bummer...

may have to go back to the drawing board on this one then

Oh thought the BOSE head units werent specific to a car?? or if i bought the UK head unit with the code would this suffice?

Arent the subwoofer/amp etc exactly the same in UK as they are in JDM?

Ive looked into aftermarket head units but, this means I would lose the functionality of my JDM sat nav screen (i converted it a while back to a UK sat nav) as it only works off a 305z Bose head unit.

Ill PM Lee again to see what he's got and can offer me.

Im looking to upgrade my current JDM Bose head unit to a UK one so at least the radio works on it (as the band expander is pants) and I will get the cd skipping fault repaired at a local specialist. (or if your UK one has had the cd skipping fault repaired - even better )

So if anyone has one spare please let me know.

Thanks

Looking to get my rears done on my zed.

Anyone come recommended in this area??

Yeh mine has the slot clips, but everytime after ive had a passenger in the car, I have to reach over move their seat forward grab the seat belt and pop it back into the clip as they dont go back into the clips unless you physicaly put them back into the slots. Can I buy them from anywhere?

My brother has a UK zed and his seat belts have clips/loops that come out over your shoulder so the seat belt is easily accessible, But my JDM doesnt have these and I have to reach back to grab mine and the passenger one rattles about all the time which can be slightly annoying.

Would anyone be able to tell me if I can get them for a JDM? and where from? and how they fix in?

This isnt a massive issue, but just wondered if it was possible.

Hi,

Im looking for a UK front number plate holder and Luggage net.

If anyone has any of these spare let me know.

Thanks

tell me about it...such a pain, especially when it drops on your head

hmmmmm seems a cheap fix...i like!!

awwww i want snow here....its yet to snow here!!

Im in no rush for these items, drop me a PM once you can get it with prices,photos etc

Thanks

Hi,

Im looking for a UK front number plate holder, some boot struts as mine currently dont hold up my boot when open which is quite annoying and my boot release doesn't release the boot up high enough, so you have to press the button with one hand and lift the boot open with the other. Or is there a simple fix for this??

It is surprising how little money will get you on the zed ladder these days

But worth every last penny.....easily the best value for money on any car out there!! and by far the most enjoyable to drive!!
