Thanks @Fluke

No problem.  👍 I miss my zed.

Open to offers?

Thats mine, I have it advertised on here. 👍

The colour is called pesimmon orange and was the colour of the 370z seats I fitted to my Burnt Orange 350z. Looks a lot better in the flesh. As stated I had intended to do a complete interior swap to a facelift version, but my circumstances changed and I sold the car before the project got started.

Price drop to £500

How much did it cost you to do the gear knob? Where did you get it done? 

Just found the guy that did it on here, his name was mondo300, below is what the costs were:

Seats (orange leather, orange stitching): £650

Doorcards (black leather, orange stitching and insert & armrest orange leather, orange stitching): £275

Vents (black leather, orange stitching): £50

Gearknob (orange leather, orange stitching): £50

Gear gaiter (orange leather, orange stitching): £15

Handbrake handle (orange leather, orange stitching): £20

Orange leather to be used on steering wheel retrim: £10

A total of £1,070 for the above parts.

Not sure if I have priced it right, so am open to reasonable offers?

It was done as part of a deal when I paid for the work off a guy on here, sorry I cant remember his name.

Please close mow sold.

I bought them for my 2003 350z, an upgrade project that never got off the ground. He she is in all her former glory.😥

Will do as soon as I get home the evening.👍

I had planned to do an interior swap/upgrade on my 2003 350z, so spent quite a bit of money having some seats re-trimmed in a persimmon orange (the pictures dont do the colour any justice) along with the door card and center console covered in matching and contrasting leather with orange stitching. I have a complete hand brake also done in matching orange leather, gear knob and gaiter.

I sold the car before I could even start the project so am sell the lot together. Installation should be a breeze and I am sure I have door switches and other parts to the console lying around in my shed that I will throw in once I dig them out. The door cards are a little dusty from storage, but a wipe over with a damp rag and they will new again.

These will need collecting, but if you want to arrange shipping that would be fine. I am looking at £600 for the lot which is less than half it cost me in having the parts recovered in leather let alone the cost of the parts them selves. Collection from Stafford or I can meet up in Solihull near the JLR plant.

I have had these for a while and have since sold my 350z, they are brand new and have never been fitted and the box was only opened for photo's. I am looking for £300 collected from Stafford or I could meet up near Solihull. These are half the cost of them on ebay. I have no idea what they would cost to ship as the box is quiet large and hefty.

Bump - Still needed.

Hi, How much do you want for it?

Thanks

Ian

As per the title, does anyone have the front piece of the wheel arch liner for a 350z? Drivers side.

Fantastic Work Si.

I am planning to install a face lift interior sand my plan is to get the steering wheel re-trimmed by RoyalSteering, have the door switches and rest of the center console dipped in gold carbon weave. I will be installing a tablet in place of the sat nav or I might go for a complete Brainiac tablet install (I havent decided yet) and  I have some body work that needs doing, so will get that done before I fit everything. I will post pictures when I have everything ready.

In the meantime this is what my interior looks like at the moment.

I had already done a spruce up a few years ago, including fitting 370z seats and a tablet install and having everything dipped in gold carbon weave.

Looks like a nice clean install. I notice the phone symbol, how or what did you use to run hands free on a tablet?

Has anyone got a passenger side banana arm in good condition for sale? Buying them new seems to be very pricey. Please message me with the cost including postage. Thanks

How easy are these to install? I need to replace them on my passenger banana arm

I think I will leave it as well. I don't want to buy it and find it won't fit, as I would then need to sell it and probably at a loss.

Shame really as I am in the process of fitting an uplift interior into my 2003. A nice retrim is already into making with Si at Hide n Seats. The tablet would have gone nice with the dipped console.

Out of interest if you have a tablet fitted, how do you go about listening to the radio? I should imagine it's thru wifi, but what would the signal be like whilst driving?

Will that tablet surround fit a face lift bezel?

I am looking at refurbishing my interior and want to install the uplift fascia, central console etc... I already have a few bits, but need the following:

Door cards - both passenger and Driver side.

Drivers window switch panel - (I assume the passenger side is the same as on the DE and the switches are a straight swap?)

Satnav control panel. - Doesn't need to be working as I am also installing a tablet, but need to fill the gap.

Heater Control box with loom. - I already have the climate controls

Please PM me with prices. Thanks

Why do you want a PC btw over the PS or XB? A decent machine that will play the latest PC games at full res / highest graphics settings will come in at around £1k... and that will be pretty middle of the road components.

 

1k isn't too bad really, I paid 1.2k back in 1993 for a top of the range Escom 486 66mhz with a 256k graphics card, a 100mb hard drive and a massive 1mb of memory . Mind you, it did come in a massive tower and had two floppy drives. I still have the tower it came in . I believe the Tandon 386 16mhz , my first PC bought in 1991, set me back £1250. My next PC was a Viglen in 1995, I think it was a Pentium 120, the 17" monitor that I specified added another £500+ to the price , came out at around 2 grand.

My first PC was. P120, and I was leagues ahead of my mates that had either a 386 or a 486. I miss the the sound of my modem dialing to connect.

What's the budget?

 

 

Personally I'd be getting any i7, as much RAM as you can (16GB should really be fine tbh, but it's cheap enough so 32GB is always a nice to have), and then the fastest Nvidia card you can get your hands on. A 1070 would be my absolute minimum, preferably a 1080 if budget allows as that will be a noticeable step up if you're aiming at VR. My current 980 will do something like Doom at 1080/60 on Ultra with the occasional drop to 50fps, but that's a year old now and you want to be looking forward. Vive uses 2160x1200, so significantly more and you can expect the Vive 2 to be higher than that again (hopefully closer to 1920x1080 in each eye), so you really want the best you can here.

 

I prefer Intel SSDs, and my current setup has one SSD for the OS and generic programs like PS, iTunes etc. Another SSD takes the popular games where loading can be a pain (Skyrim, Fallout 4 etc), then I have two regular SATA drives for everything else.

 

The Samsung EVos have proven to be the best non PCIX disks over and over. Now that they are cheap enough, you should be running 2, the speed boost in raid 10 is dramatic, makes a fast PC blistering fast, plus you can still use the extra space!

 

I used to compete in the PCMark charts with a couple of my old rigs, the double-SSD is the single thing that makes a quick machine really quick, try it, and have your mind blown (motherboard must support RAID, naturally).

As I have a slot on the motherboard, I use a 950 Pro 512GB M.2 PCI-e 3.0 x 4 NVMe SSD for my main drive and have 3x 500gb Intel SSD drives as my storage for games etc.. The 2x MSI GTX980t were quite cheap when I bought them and handle everything I throw at them. Everything is liquid cooled including the memory sticks, I even learned to cut glass tubes and braid my own cables during the build.
