Cheers Chris, I'll have a look.

Just got the reversing camera to do this weekend. That should be simpler though as it just plugs into the AV input of the digibox and the image is already mirrored. Then just press AV on the remote to bring it up. Looking at mounting it beside or within the rear number plate.

Yeah I'm an electronics engineer, so I'm free for any advice if anyone needs it.

Nice one, thanks for the welcome.

Yeah hopefully, i'm from Airdrie. so any central scottish meets I'd be up for. There seems to be loads of z's up here!!

Hi all, I joined up over on **REMOVED** and thought I'd do the same here as it looks like a pretty active forum.

My name is Craig and last Wednesday I picked up my mint 52 plate 350z in full GT trim. Paid a well worth it £11.4k in immaculate condition with only 15k miles on the clock.

Thursday and Friday I removed all the interior trim and fitted digital tv into the defunt jap nav and DVD rom spaces. Fitted a new AV compatible 7" LCD widescreen into the old screen casing and did the AUX in mod to the bose tape deck for the audio. Digibox was fitted into the old dvd rom casing and mounted in the same place. Dual high gain active antennas were placed in both of the small rear windows. All powered off the rear 12v power outlet via an automotive relay controlled by the screen door opening. The picture and sound quality are top notch and there is no picture issues even at motorway speeds. This also gives me digital radio through the existing bose which gets rid of the poor band expander reception. The old jap nav button were blanked off and sprayed satin chrome. Here's some pics of it in action.

On Saturday I then washed, waxed and valeted the car. What do yous think?

Then the last few nights I've been out doing a few 0-60 runs with the G-tech pro. Managing to get consistent 5.7s now with 5.57s my best thus far. Don't think the car is completely standard as it had a few nismo reciepts and one from fujitsubo. Launching with left foot on the brake and revs held to around 1.3k, then brake off and throttle down 3/4 till past 3k then foot to the floor. Doing a manual tiptronic up shift on the redline then holding out second gear. I'm really happy with the performance as it's a good indication of the car's health. I'll give the drivetrain a rest now though I think.

I'm absolutely loving the car and it makes me smile ear to ear everytime I'm out in it. Having come from an excellent but a little mundane mondeo ST TDCi, I got the grin factor back that I used to have with my old 285bhp focus ST.

Look forward to contributing to the forum

Cheers

Craig

Like someone has already said, it's for us tiptronic guys, for the snow/normal/sport modes. Beside the driver and next to the two heated seat switches. Bloody stupid place to put it as I keep switching it with my elbow.

Any update on this? Really interested to hear the final result.
