  1. Definitely mate...I'm a saddo and keep smiling every time I get in and remember it's there. It does seem a bit pricey though...I got one from the US as it worked out cheaper than buying from the trader that sells them here

  2. Go for the 370 mate. It draws attention every where, I've probably had as many compliments on it in the first couple of months as I did the year and a half I had a 350. Porsches are boring to look at and until you get in to the big money sound pretty crap too.....(although so does the 370 with a stock exhaust). I personally couldn't care less about the badge on the front....I wouldn't even look twice at any of the other cars you mentioned if they drove past me.

  3. Definitely a great mod. Just posted a quick DIY up which I believe needs to be approved by the mods...I know there are a few already but felt we needed a UK one....plus I had to prove my feminine hands could handle installing it myself (what have I become? Having to prove myself to you cyber bullies :lol: )

  4. Hey everyone, so after having my girly hands mocked in my previous thread (Vaseline Cocoa butter is the key by the way), I took it upon myself to install my shiny red push button.

     

    There are a few DIY guides over on the370z.com most of which tell you to take the centre console to bits. Thankfully there is one that shows you the easy option which I used.

     

    I thought I'd post up a quick DIY of my own though just to highlight a couple of small niggles I came across to help anyone else avoid them in the future.

     

    Firstly, I got a small plastic pry and stuck it beneath the corner of the button (beneath the black plastic ring),

    Popped the button forward...it took a little bit more force than I was expecting. It will click out and will look like this.

    Then unclip the little brown harness thing (no idea what it's called) by pressing down the tab, again this took a bit of force to pull them apart.

    Next came the part that took me a wee while to sort. You need to remove the old button from the grey and black surround....on first impressions this looked incredibly straight forward....just press the 2 tabs at the side in and press the button out. I still can't believe how stiff this was. I ended up pressing the 2 tabs in, held the top of the surround with a finger and then pressed the bottom of the button up. Retrospectively, it probably would have been easier to have used a flat surface to press it up with. Make sure you press the existing button UP out of the surround.

    Anyway, then you just press the new button in to place, plug the harness back in and bang you're done.
