Looks good mate,glad to see the old girl in shiny shape.

Told you I'd look after her

19x19.5 eh,thats a freaking wide wheel!

Looks very good. I have the same off set on my Es2,2's,and love the beefy stance.

oopps corrected

More pics

That looks like some stretch on the on the rears!

It's not that bad when you see it. The minimum recommended size for an 11j wheel is 275 so I'm not too far out

Finally got round to fitting my Varrtoens.Big thanks to Peter at Varrstoen who has been excellent to deal with. They are the ES1.1.2 19x9.5 et12, 19x11 et22, 245/35 and 265/35 Conti sports 3 tyres. No spacers, no arch rolling and no rubbing. Only have phone pic at the moment (more pics below now)

If I hadn't have just spent over 2k on Varrstoen wheels and tyres I'd have bought them off you, I'm amazed they haven't been snapped up. is that a typo or are they really a 25 profile tyre on the rear ?

Here is is...

Looks nice but no leather or Rays alloys but if that's not a concern for you then go for it.

Your new engine will have a period of warranty on it as well (just the engine obviously, as the car is now out of the original warranty). Did they give an indication of how long they cover it for now? I'd hope for a year at least as a standard warranty on new parts of that order supplied and fitted by the manufacturer.

 

Anyway, great news, and let's hope it was a one off as I expect most of the HR's are now out of warranty, mine is Can't remember if you mentioned it earlier, what was the mileage on the old one?

 

I asked when I picked it up about warranty and they said there was no extension. I would have expected a year, and I would imagine if anything were to go wrong in the short term they would probably fix it as goodwill - after installing a brand new engine you couldnt really ignore it if something went wrong shortly afterward - presumably there would be some consumer right that would protect against that? To be honest I'm just so glad to have it back I am trying not to worry about that!

 

Mileage on the old engine was circa 29k.

 

 

I would have thought there would be a years warranty with all Nissan approved parts, whther it is a spark plug or a whole engine.

You only get a warranty with approved parts if you buy them. If a part was replaced under the original manufacturer warranty then that part is only covered until the original warranty period is over so if your engine is replaced under warranty and you only have 2 weeks remaining on your original warranty then your new engine will only have a 2 week warranty period, stupid but true

This will be 1st year attending with a 350z, count me in

All sorted after reading the manual In order to turn the the rear speakers on I had to turn the system off (so no source is selected) then go into the menu, this would now let me access the rear speaker settings ,(previously it would not let me access this function as I was trying to access it with a source still selected) Now I have front and rear speakers

Thanks for everyones help

You have the RCAs plugged in for all 4 speakers in the pic, have a look at the settings on the HU.

 

There should be a setting for front & rear or front & sub

Ok will have another look. I did find a setting which let me turn the sub off but the rear speaker settings aren't highlighted which means I can't access them. Time to stop being a bloke and actually read the manual

hi mate i fitted the avh4200dvd model to my zed i presume you are using the conversion loom suggested to use the original bose amps and speakers??

 

if so dont the sound was crap, so i ran my own cables direct to the speakers and connected them to the headunit speaker outputs directly sound is awesome and loud.

Worth a try thanks

Unfortunately your unit does not support 4 speakers + sub

 

You can have it connected as you have with no sub or take the yellow and black out and plug the sub into the sub L socket.

 

So options are FL & FR + SUB

 

Or

 

FL & FR + RL & RR with no SUB

 

you can connect splitters but I think you would get the best resulrs with the first option....

 

Unfortunately you should have read up a bit on the unit and what output the Bose has before you bought it. You needed a unit with 3 preouts the one you have only has 2....

 

It is actually pretty easy to change a HU on a Zed, lots of us have done it and none of us are rocket scientists (i think)

Still can't see how I can have 4 speakers without using Splitters as there is no rear output for me to plug the leads into? I'd be quite happy with 4 speakers and no sub

Definately agree about only using the proper Nissan oil. I changed mine recently and 2nd gear is lovely and smooth even when cold

Looks like you're going to need to get some RCA splitters. That way you can connect the FL on the headunit to FL & RL, and FR on the headunit to FR & RR

Man these cars are a Pain when it comes to stereo's. I've now had to order 2x RCA splitters, 2x Line boosters and I still can't see how the sub is going to work? All seems a waste of time as all I can hear is my Buddy club exhaust anyway

Red / White / Black / Yellow are Front L & R and Rear L & R.

 

The sub is seperate and if it has L & R input you normally only need to use the L if you only have one RCA

The weird thing is the on the back of the stereo there is no Rear L & R ports, Just SW L, SW R, FL,FR, V in V out, L in, R in. I could try the Red and white plugs in the Front L & R and the Black and Yellow plugs in the L in and R in but this would not leave any plugs left for the Sub ? Here's a pic if it helps.

Thanks for your help

The Black and yellow are in the SW L and SW R, the Red and white are the FL and FR.

I can get either the front speakers and the sub to work or the rears and sub to work but not front,rears and sub to work together. What's confusing me is the black,white,red and yellow plugs that you plug into the back of the head unit. The pioneer has a SW L AND SW R port (I've pluged the yellow and black plugs into these.) The FL and FR (I've pluged the red and white plugs into these.) The remaining ports are V in V out and L in and L out , I tried using these ports but they did nothing (got a loud buzzing from the V in and out ports). So not sure how I can have front rear and sub speaket working together ?

Looks to me as though you've bought the wrong adapter loom. You've got a non Bose loom when you should have got one to fit a Bose Loom this would have come with Phono leads (red,yellow,black and white connectors) which connect to the Bose amp phono leads which supplies the sound to the speakers.

Came behind you at the A2 junction with the m25 this afternoon, then watched you disappear off into the distance Couldn't keep up in my Rav4

I'm not on facebook but that doesn't mean I don't want to be found(he's not on facebook neither). There is no bad feeling between him and his family he just does his own thing and doesn't think about how worried his family are.

He might just be a slacker, and off living his life and having a good time, and it doesn't occur to him, that others might be worried about him. Maybe?

exactly

My Cousin Joe set off for Euro Disney to get a job about 15 years ago and basically hasn't kept in touch with his family since then. After 9/11 his Mum and Dad were worried about him so asked the Salvation army if they could find out where in world he was, they eventually found him in Bulgaria. He sent a letter back to his parents saying he was slowly heading for Australia and that was the last they've heard from him. Once again they'd like to know if he is ok so does anyone know how they could find out where he may be (Salvation army had no luck this time) they don't have much money so must be a relatively simple way of doing it. I thought maybe the Home office could let his parents know where his passport was last used?

Wow those pics of your dog are stunning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Stuart a life Backwards" with Tom Hardy and the bloke who's name I can't pronounce Benedict Cumquat somethingorother Great film

His puppy photo is sooo cute!!!!

 

Nah, he ugly

 

he's trying to do dawg - but failing miserably - just too fluffy! I've been threatening Stew with stealing Oscar all week to get a fur fix - I think would even settle for a Newfie slobbery hug and I'm really not a doggy person!

He was 5 months old the last time I could give him a proper hug

Whilst you've got hold of him he makes a great duster

His puppy photo is sooo cute!!!!

Nah, he ugly
