Awesome! thanks

Should I take the battery out before starting the whole thing?

Hi guys

I am trying to do the Bose hack this week and have come stuck on how to remove the Sat nav.

I am following this guide:

http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=507429#p507429

But I have the nav and not a cubby hole. How do I get it out?

Thanks!

Thanks for the help guys.

Will PM him.

Does anyone think this car is underpowered in 1st gear? Everyone in a hot hatch seems to get the jump on me, until I get to 2nd/3rd.

Is this just the mapping?

I think I am going mad. I am planning to do the bose hack this weekend, and I am sure somewhere someone has put a USB charger in at the same time? I can't find it now.

Anyone have any experience with this, or recommendations to (not) do it?

I will just hold onto the switch for that much money. Might try a few sneaky ebay messages, but there is no way its worth that much to me!

Thanks for the help guys.

Good stuff i bet that was driving you mad

Yeh glad I got it sorted out

Next questions:

What is the revs thing for on the multi guages? Is it the Rev limiter?

Also can I switch out the passenger side window switch for an automatic switch?

Is he weight there for distribution?

I bought Winter tyres from lakers today.

Nice genuine guy

Finished at £535.

Worth it?

So Facelift lights shouldn't have orange lights?

 

Face lift lights have orange led's at the top side, instead of the orange reflective strip. People are confusing what is lit, and what is reflective.

Thought I had pre-facelifts on an 07 for a minute and thought it was a front end damage sign.

I was thinking on LEDs!

So Facelift lights shouldn't have orange lights?

So if we say 4%

For every 1000 miles on the clock, you will only be travelling 996. Not that much effect? Or am I missing something?

Running 40 profile with no probs.

 

Running 245/45/18 and 235/40/18 on the front no problems whats so ever. Ive done more than 20k miles on them too. Im replacing them for 225/40/18s as they are a hell of a lot cheaper. I personally havent found any of this traction control problems alot of people bang on about. Maybe my car is different?

Clearly you've never understoon any of the posts I've made explaining how TC works then? You are not finding any problem as your difference in percentage terms of rolling radius front to rear keeps the stagger that the TCS expects. Should you run tyres with the same rolling radius front to rear you will understand what we are talking about.

 

As for the OPs original question, yes you can run a 40 profile. I did on my 18s on the 350z as Falkens have somewhat soggy sidewalls and I was recommended to do so. You need to keep the OEM front to rear stagger in rolling radius though. So use 40 profile all round and you'll be fine AFAIK, but keep to staggered widths such as 225F and 245R.

Thanks for the info

On the point that the miles will rack up faster, how much difference are we talking?

E.g. for every ten miles on the odometer, the smaller profile tyres will only travel XX miles.

 

I am a lot of things, and a bully ain't one of them

Bud I think I just took your posts the wrong way.

Lets move on

Just out of interest, is it a DE or an HR?

An example:

Falken 452

40 profile: £75inc

45 profile: £104inc

Obviously the tyres are the only things that keep you on the road, but I know on some cars there are a few different sizes you can use, so was just wondering.

I was asking a genuine question, just cause he has a massive post count doesn't mean he can bully newbs.

Either way, he is firmly on the ignore list.

Thanks for the advice Stew.

Good to see some people around here still use a forum for helping others

Thanks for the helpful advice.

What year 350z do you drive?

I am running RE05A all round.

(Possibly switching to winter boots)

Fair comment, I wouldn't think that was the best thing to rack up miles early.

More valuable input

Do you get any TC problems?

That post says that it is a difference greater than advised so you take your chances...

 

To be honest and not nasty if the OP is looking to cut corners and cost on tyres then they need a cheaper to run car....

Lol

I love this new phrase on car forums.

"If you can't afford X buy a cheaper car"

So you would advise a Lambo owner to pay £3k for a replacement headlight for a Diablo when the same headlights are available for £300 from Nissan?

I was just asking a question to see if its viable, no need to make such jumping conclusions.

I guess you always use Nissan dealers and all OEM Nissan parts?

What would the damage be for using a 40 inch profile instead of a 45 on standard Rays alloys?

They are significantly cheaper, and was just wondering if it was worth the saving?

Thanks!

Free Bump

 

Yes these initially sold for 35 quid, but by the time the second batch came round they were 50 quid because Cookbot had other priorites. It really is a great bit of kit and was one of the features I really wanted for my car.

In that case I will up my offer to £35 inc

Would these be a straight swap for an 07 car with Rays?
