My tint film arrived in the post today, I've offered it up and it looks similar output to yours. Will have a go at fitting it next week. If it is indeed too dim/red I might look at some orange LEDs, maybe the brighter/more focused light will help distinguish them as indicators.

How heavy!!

Morning Was hoping to pop round last night on the way back from work, but got caught on a conference call then had things to sort out as we're off to Wales for the weekend. Will give you a shout when I get back for a brew

Did you do the red rear lights just with some tinting film? or is there more to it than that? I ordered some red film from eBay last week and hopefully it will look similar to yours - just hope the indicator shines through orange(ish)

In my signature matey - http://www.350z-uk.c...blue-adventure/ (PC install is on page 12) Matt

As above, you need the sat nav or jdm cubby with the fold in lid I know a guy did buy one new from Nissan and it was silly money!! They do come for sale every now and then. I have literally just this week finished my CarPC build. Check out my project thread for some ideas

That's what the rear view camera is for....I have it set on permanent feed so I can see the crafty buggers sneaking up on me

Not really an update, but hit a new record last week whilst up the M3 and back for a meeting. cruising at 70mph the whole way (boring) but made awesome economy!

Love them in yellow! look forward to seeing what you get up to with it matey

Was quickly looking for something just to test the audio quality out of the PC. It did just the job Also, full naming? I thought I was in trouble for a minute there

Thanks guys. Yeah the flocking kit was a good purchase and really helped to give the panels a stock look. I do however use the term 'kit' loosely. It is pretty much a pot of glue, paint brush, and bag of fluff

Thanks chaps. Only went in last night Dave, you'll have to have a nose in Wales

OK, pic heavy update ahead! I just looked back through my thread and had to go back to page 8 to find the start of the CarPC build (August 1st!). After a few weeks work the PC sat on the dining room table until Boxing Day! After a pretty productive January, and a busy evening last night the CarPC is finally installed, setup and working! I now need to spend some time tweaking a few screens and gauges etc so it all looks awesome. But, safe to say I am really happy with the results!!! It was originally meant to be a simple install with PC, kill switch & screen. Over Christmas this escalated into a full control panel with kill switches, buttons, LEDs etc. Not long after that I then though making a cool USB panel in the rear console would also be a good idea! The main aim for this install (besides having access to a PC) was to make everything look at stock as possible! So when everything was closed up you would never know it was installed, and even when things were on show they looked like they were always meant to be there! To help with this plan I invested in a mini DIY Flocking kit.....(Flocking....with an 'L'....L!!). This allowed me to more closely match the finish of various Zed cubby linings. I am really pleased with the results of this, maybe more so than the PC! So, on to all the pics of the build & finished article. Background shows the PC test mounted into the base of the glove box. Foreground shows the DIY Build case/lid for the PC. Simple build with some MDF and a small air vent at the top which allows fresh air to be pulled down onto the CPU. This was covered in felt so it could blend in better inside the glove box. Next up was my first 'Ninja Panel' tm. Which I have built into one of the upper letterbox style storage bins. This is the main control panel for the PC setup and allows for a number of different features - kill switches for both PC and screen power loops, PC reset button, Power & HDD LEDs & a temp gauge for the ambient air around the PC. Built from a strip of plastic and shaped to fit into the storage bin. Flocked & test fitted Next Ninja Panel was for the rear cubby on the centre console (where the Bluetooth module etc live). For this I wanted to have a small panel to allow for USB or aux input to the PC (to play MP3 players, and charge my phone). I started by building up a rough shape with MDF which replaced the fitted floor, added fibre glass & some flock. looks great in the flesh, photo doesn't really do it that much justice. After a few swear words last night trying to connect everything together, it all (eventually) powered up nicely and worked!

Just about to order up a set in alcantara (or however you spell it). How does the handbrake one for? On mine (DE) there is a rubber piece around the base of the handbrake, almost attached to the centre console. Does this get removed? Or does the gaitor get pushed into this? Cheers chaps

Theres a local guy who runs an S14a as a daily, he takes it out every now and then for some sideways action.

I might try and pop along to this mate! I have been to a few last season (to watch). Yes, it is uaully a BMW fest down there, so be good to see a real car out on track.

:lol:

Looks loads better mate! Easily one of my favourite Zeds around!

Holy sh!t! Never seen it anywhere as high as that before

Why are you reading the pink 'Femail' section of the news?....

I dont know much about NFL, but im sat here watching it on TV. Really should go to bed soon!! Nah, its just a normal bowl of cereal, just looks bigger to you

Car looks spotless mate, look forward to seeing what else you do

Door handles look cracking dude! Need to hurry up and do mine
