  1. Have fun Me too...only 5 weeks to wait.
  2. thought that was only for the JDM version of the Z (mine) Think a reflash with RS tuning would work on uk mod, I'd prefer that option instead of slicing in an SLD Some aftermarket ECU's take care of the speed limiter too. (Haltech are supossed to do all the Z's BAR JDM ) Out ot interest how often would you hit the limiter? A. Well... Not that often, but never say never...
  3. Hi, Welcome. There is a plan drawing for a sub box that fits on the forum m8. Hope that helps.
  4. Ok, what did it fit like? As in other ongoing posts. Sometimes they are a pain to fit. Did it match up well to the bumper or was there alot of cutting and gluing, so to speak.
  5. Ok, No worries. If you need anything else PM me and I'll give you my number. regards
  6. Hi Nice Z. Thats the way to pull of carbon on a light colour. (Balance)
  7. Spotted Sunset Z York today 15:30 ish opposite the racecourse. Modified front bumper, dont know the spec. Driver waved and flashed. Lights that is. (Very polite)

    Not use the car for a week. That sounds like a load of tosh to me mate. A few hours for it to settle is all it should need, but you cant use the windows fully for a week. As for the slight movement on opening the doors. It does leave a mark, but it does on the bare glass as well, Strangely it wipes off when you clean them as it does with the glass. Do these blokes know their business. If it was me I'd want to see some examples of their previous work and some customers numbers to talk to them and see if they are happy. If they told me not to use my car for a week I would not have had it done. I smell a rat.
  9. Hi, The head unit only protrudes (Good word) 10mm at the very most. If it were any tighter the flip out screen would foul when its all the way out, In real term the screen would not be able tilt back far enough for you to see it and might cover the satnav screem bottom and controls. It looks the dogs to me where it is, but you could fit the original surround if you like to smooth it out a bit more. I think your dash kit is like the 1 I had and all they did was remove the cheap lookin horrible pocket/tray thingy. I'm very particular The other thing I had to make sure of was that when the screen was engaging it didn't hit the gear stick on its way in or out. The Ipod draw just finishes it off neatly. Any Alpine stckist will have get you 1 of these the Code for it is KTX-550iD In dash portable media station. The are about £50. Lastly the head unit alone won't imorve the sound quality. I dont know what you have installed, but the Bose amps don't work well with any other head units and you need to take out a tranducer from that or the satnav stops talking. It's not a job for the novice (not that I'm saying you are). Below is a list of what I ended up doing with mine. The final solution to this needs to be based on what you want from your install. I've just had all the Bose stuff taken out of my car and replaced. I wanted a totally steath install. The fronts were replaced with Hertz Hi-Enegy space components. The rears with Hi-Energy 2 ways colour matched cones to the car (Orange). The rears haves Hertz bar grills. The fronts and rear are driven by an Alpine V12 545 amp as most head units give up early on in the power game. This is mounted in the passenger glove box behind the seat with a 6 disc changer sat on top of it I had an Alpine 10" sub mounted in the original place in the Z with a custom box built in around it and moves 13 time more air than the bose did. This is driven by an Alpine 1000Watt monoblock amp, Mounted in the bulkhead where the Bose amp used to be. The Head unit is an Alpine IVA-310R 1din flip out mounted in the bottom of a dash double din converter and above this an Alpine Ipod draw to finish off the dash nicely. If you're going for power Dynamat everything or you'll the interior will shake itself to bits. (Really). I went for steath which limits your options and I wanted to keep my boot space (what little there is). If you want more show then the world is you toasted muffin (dont like oysters). My advice is find a great installer and talk alot about what you want before you start. Regards.
  10. +1. Any good body shop will do this and have a look for you. They'll know if work has been done on it. Sorry for yer troubles m8.
  11. Fab. Its a bargain. If you check the price (I have) the cheapest I can find it online is £386. hope yer get it.
  12. Sorry missed a bit. I fitted a double Din mount in places of the Bose and put the IVA-310 in the bottom slot and an Alpine IPOD drwer in the top, as you can see it wont cover the satnav screen.
  13. Hi, I have exactly the same unit and this is what I did. It might be jusy up your street. Hope this helps.
  14. Hi, I have 1 of these for sale on ebay m8. Take a look. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... :MESELX:IT
  15. Hi All. Done a search, but cant find the info I want... So, HKS SLD (Speed Limit Defencer) Does this removed the factory set 155 limiter from UK Z's...And theoretically how fast would it then go ...potentially. Not that I would try it... Sorry if this has been covered.
  16. That would be "Get thi sens of ta york and cal abart Z's alneet" actually sir. Or for the Softly spoken southern brethren "You chaps should go off on safari to york and have a conference pertaining to your collective perambulatory internal conbustion engined velosapedes"
  17. Hang on... Lets get back to this muffin thing.... Are we all on the same track or it just me. What kind of muffin are we talking about ? and why would you need to hands to eat it ? How big is it ? and furthermore why would it be scary. Do you people know something I dont ?
  18. Here's a seat pic, Can't believe you've not seen these before. (and a bit chuffed).lol As I said nice little mod for a Fiver.
  19. Great more Z's than I thought. Keep checkin in.
