Lol, I know its hard to believe but sky was by far the cheapest. I live in a good area so I guess that helped out a fair bit. Oh thats with my fiancée on the insurance aswell and the zed is always garaged at night.

 

Seriously people try sky! Thats with my mods declared aswell

I was always led to believe that keeping it garaged made your insurance slightly more expensive? Reason being in a garage it gives the thief more of a opportunity at getting into the vehicle. I maybe be wrong but worth asking.

I’ve just spoken to my local Nissan dealer and they do have a recall placed, but the thing is I wouldn't have got a letter as on the Nissan System the car is registered to the guy it was first registered to, so its just as well I rang really. Anyway shes booked in for the lock on the 17th, and they reckon this will only take a hr or so

Fingers crossed we get a recall on this

You were doing nothing wrong. The autos seem to change gear at approx 3000 rpm if you just driving normally. If you want to use the paddles then use them at any point and they will stay in manual mode for a good few seconds before dropping back into auto mode.

Also if you want to get out of manual mode as soon as possible then just keep one of the paddles pulled in (approx 3 secs) to go straight back to auto mode.

When driving on a m-way or dual carriage way and you need to over take you can also drop down a couple of gears with the paddle shift instantly or just plant your foot down and hit the kick down button.

You might want to (if you haven't already) simply open and close the bonnet again - I saw a similar thing on my car not long after I'd got it (having had the bonnet up). Think it may have been caused by not dropping it shut from a high enough distance.

 

same issue here, give it a good slam and its all fine

Omg that was brilliant lol

I think its just a fancy orange light that shines down onto the gear stick area...looks kinda nice in the dark.

I had these on the boxster I owned before but they were also on the door handles

Irs for people who forget where they left there gear stick

Should be Friday for me as well, but i decided to take from tomorrow off, then I can just chill and play Halo 4

Hats off to you for having ago at this mod. I really like this one but like jay has mentioned I don't think id have to balls to try it in fear of melting down my headlights into goo

Had quite a lot of rain here yesterday, and in for a load more later this evening I believe.....glad im on a bit of a hill

I fitted one to my Roadster, a few more bits have to come out and you have to stop the hood from folding down half way so you can get into that area, but as the others have said, its really professional, and looks sweet on the factory screen.

Hey Bubbagross - I found a better way to route the camera loom from the boot to the rear parcel shelf behind the drivers seat in the Roadster (without having to mess with the hood folding malarkey.... you can actually 'bash' the cable straight through (if you know where to run it!)....

 

Steve-r - you can get the harness / loom for the 370z from here (USA - Brian / bdl99)

Thanks for the link

The cam looks ok. It's the loom that attaches into headunit. That what costs alot.

 

ok thanks for the info, I just wasnt sure if when taking apart the OEM head unit that there would be some RCA jacks to plug the camera into.

I bought one similar and it did not work with head unit Steve, so ended up going for the Kenwood one. Its more money but I knew it worked as other had also used the same camera.... jacks are not so much the problem, but the loom switches power to the camera when selecting reverse and automatically selects the right input for the camera image, so it all happens automatically ........

 

the picture quality is excellent. and its got the night vision. and the cam has not frosted up like the cheaper one i had in the 350. better to spend the extra money IMHO

Im going to be looking into getting the Kenwood camera soon, all I need now is find the loom

I feel for you , I know what its like to have some scrote riffle through your personal belongings....its not just the car loss but the knowledge your castle has been invaded

Sorry to hear your news ....im only in newport so ill keep an eye out for sure.

I recall mine was Never Mind the B*ll*cks, Here's the Sex Pistols

Ah the good old punk days...full of angry teenagers lol

Quick update, a couple of drops of wd40 into the mechanics which the seat belt locking mechanism goes into nd not a squeak now thank goodness. The ocd part of me can ow rest in peace. Very happy.

Glad you had a good result

Yup mines the same, its starting to sound like a council bus now , got plenty of pad left so when I can be bothered to take the wheels off again ill get some copper grease on them.

Just added my wife to the policy.... £198 :teeth: [ although she wont be driving it ]

Out of curiosity... What's the excess on your policy?

Its normal on the 370's in colder wweather - particularly if you are using the Brigestones that have relatively hard sidewalls.

 

Unless it is still doing it when the tyres have warmed up, then it needs checking.

 

When turning the car on full lock from cold will make it feel as thow the tyres are slipping sideways across the surface (like a judder). To do with the geometry at the front of the 370's that is different from the 350's. When I first got my 370 (after two 350's) I was a bit taken aback but you soon forget about and if you change to softer sidewall tyres (as I have done) it all but elimates it. .

Brilliant news Colin thanks for info. That takes the worry away now

Oh yes, and im running Bridgestones

It funny you should mention this, as I found mine does the same, I have checked the fluid and its on about Hot Min. ( I can only assume maybe the fluid isn't up to temp if it does actually get to a operating temp )

Welcome, and happy hunting

Im liking your diesel purchase

looking nice in yellow

I wonder if anyone from the forum bought that cheap zed from autotrader.
