Oh and because I don't think I've posted a picture on here before, this is her when I got her (hopefully the link will work!!).....

Hey there, my situations a bit more complex then just thinking about selling my Z.

I've owned it since I think June 2010 (It's a GT 54 plate 2005), but in May I moved out to Canada to travel and my brother has the car now (he actually took it in April before I left), I transfered it over to him (as insurance was stupid otherwise).

Anyway, I'm coming home and I don't think I can afford to run the 350Z basically (so thinking of getting a beater while I get settled again), but it has my private plate on it with my name, so can I get him to put it on retention for me, any idea how long that takes? Also, can he put it on retention in my name, or as the cars in his name does it need to be his? Also, when I wanna put it on a car again at some point, that will be in my name, would that cause an issue?

I guess if I sell it, it's probably easiest to leave the plate on, but it won't be of interest to anyone else! It says my name with an 03 there, and I'm pretty sure that people with my first initial and surname are limited in the uk so don't think getting someone that matches the plate to buy the Z will happen haha.

Is the best place to sell still autotrader? I've never sold privately, always part exchanged before, but that isn't an option. I might get him to try to sell before I get back, even though its the wrong time of year I know, I love the car too

Thanks for any help/info offered.

Is that Chester that plays bass?

I put a momo one on mine, got a mate to fabricate a collar that made it fit perfect! Original ones really do look awful really quick.

Mine were done when I got the car, they did them standard. However I always fancied anthracite!

I am always suprised by the reaction it gets, people love them, I mean, I do too hence why I got it but it gets so much attention its unreal.

I wish I could put my Z away for the winter!! It would be perfect to have a little runaround too.

My favorite colour for the Zed...love it!

Mine too, remember seeing one for sale in Peterborough and going to look at it at the local dealer even though I didn't have a hope of affording it!

That does look very nice.

The car goes to my brother on Friday, so all of this is for him as I'm going to Canada for a year to work, but now I think I know what is needed, I will get able to get it sorted for him, will get a booster if needed. Might just get ICE Direct to sort it as they are nearby anyway.

I am led to believe that this HU does not need any loom and is a direct replacement, Send a PM to BUSTER he knows more. n the HU at Halfords.

Cheers, thats a bit OTT for my needs though, don't want DVD, just seems an expensive extra that will never be used.

Okay, so need a head where the preamp outs are 4v to make it easier it would seem.

Anyone recommend one (where I can get steering wheel control adapter, so alpine, pioneer etc) that is under £200?

Ahh, even the same head, so not a good idea!

When I sort it, I will post on here exactly what I bought, so when someone like me comes along again, they can just buy what I did to get it working! Haha.

Just want as simple change as possible for as little cash as possible, with bluetooth and ipod connection.

I think this is all that would be needed, and would mean connection to the existed BOSE speakers/sub and steering controls, and given ipod connection, and bluetooth for a phone: -

The thing I am mainly unsure about is that the head will power all the speakers and the sub?? Is this needed for that?

Has to work with an Iphone 4 via bluetooth, but that's about it, one that will work with all the speakers and woofer?

Anyone used a Parrot stereo in theirs?

Peterborough wanted £233.95 for a P1 and £313.19 for a P2, and Cambridge wanted £302.37 for a P1 and £384.20 for a P2!

350z has 30 more bhp, 32lb-ft more torque, 15kg heavier though.
