Any recommendations out there for good quality / competitive servicing in the Milton Keynes area. My P3 is due and so want a good job that's not going to break the bank. All I hear at the moment is avoid Nissan main dealers.

Just completed this mod and first time thought it didn't work as couldn't stop it saying "Push Eject"... took it all apart again rechecked and refitted still the same...So after doing it 3, 4 times at 30 seconds tried one at around 45 seconds and it worked WOOOPIE.... sound is great, better start sorting out playlists now though as cant change tracks whilst driving.. Anyway, thought I should post results in case anyone else was about to give up at first go. Thanks for the great instructions.

Best deal I found this time round was with Tescos. It pains me to say it as I would rather avoid paying 'the man', but sold my soul and got the best deal through Tesco.

Felt it important to post back here after I used the forum to help me research tyres. First an apology; Although I comment on Falken tyres im not sure on the which model of tyres although have found consistant faults from two different purchases. I appreciate that this wont be 1specific enough for some, but hope that this is still helpful. My last car was a Mitsubishi FTO, when I bought the car it came with a set of Bridgestones, the tyres where fine, but when time came to change them the garage sugested Falkens and of course offered a good price. I found the Falkens good in the dry and lethal in the wet. I would always drastically change my driving style in the wet to compensate for the lack of grip. I then changed to Goodyear Eagle F1's and never looked back, great in the dry and the wet and always reasonable price I purchased set after set of F1's. To be frank it didnt matter what the new F1 was it performed the same.... I was never dissapointed. I now have a 350z and have had it for a couple of years. It came with a set of Falkens on it. Now initially I thought that it must be the sheer torque of the 350z that it always wante to break free on roundabouts. As the tyres wore driving the car in the wet became a real handful in the wet and then recently went through the Slip light + traction control problem that I thought was an electrical problem... Well after research decided to go for the F1's again. I replaced all 4 allthough the front Falkens had plenty of tread. This was after readin the article on this site about not mixing tyres (very wise). Well considering I have no interes in tyres from a style perspective, I have no interest in the tread pattern asthetics, the words on the outside, or whats fashionable... I want them to grip in all conditions, quite is a bonus only for a sports car and as cheap as possible is pretty high on the list. Well... I cannot express how fanstic the F1's are, they constantly impress me. I would love for them to be cheaper, but got all four for mid £600 which seemed reasonable. Now the weather is is turning horrible I have been pushing the car harder and harder (from time to time...just to test) and slip light hasnt flashed once, grip is solid.... what more can you ask for. So if you are looking for new tyres for your 350z I strongly recommend Goodyear Eagle F1 asymmetric 2's I hope that this review helps!! James

The air vent on my drivers door that should have 3 pieces of plastic to direct air is missing a piece of plastic and so am unlikely to find that small part available and so need to replace the whole piece... Any out there?

Damn... Missed the opportunity. I have 'a' cradle in the car hoping that it's generic to any Bluetooth unit. So just need the Bluetooth bit.

I really like my Bose system, the sound is great and the slow fade up of sound on power is especially pleasing. However the CD does skip for the first 10 min of any trip and so must listen to radio until all is warm and toasty. I'd therefore pref not to replace the head unit and just wondered if anyone had found Permenant solutions? In the meantime I will try the silica gel route.

Been considering a unit replacement as it skips when cold, but have decided to keep it a bit longer and so am going to take the plunge on the Bluetooth kit so that I can use the phone in the car. So am in the market for the adapter.

Ok.... took for a drive today and got some picies enroute. I am really blown away by this car and am smiling every trip. I have found a few things that in time I will need to sort though.. - CD player skips in the morning until the car is warm and dry (I had read about this) - The boot mat is really annoying. It is paper thin, scrunches up and put a bag in the boot and it slides around the back like torvil and dean. - The owners folder in in the compartment behind the passenger seat thumps around inside the compartment. May have to velco it down or something. But thats it.... the rest is heaven. :-D

Thank you all for your kind 'welcome', I will indeed post some pictures when I've had a chance to take them... I had to go to Oxford on a business trip today and loved every second of the trip. I have definitely picked the right vehicle :-D A big hi to the fellow MK'er, what colour is your car?

Picked up my 2005, silver 350z GT on Saturday morning. I've spent every moment since either cleaning (detailing, I hear is the correct term), driving or dreaming about it (I appreciate that is quite sad). Its a fantastic car and is a blast to drive (literally). My previous car excluding company cars was an FTO and the 350 feels like the natural evolution. The only thing I fear for is my licence as the beautiful sound of the exhaust and the sheer 'urge' of the engine I find addictive. Anyway... Wanted to say hi to all and look forward to getting involved in the 350 world.
