I was under the impression the reverse tilt mirrors were standard - still not working after fuse pulls - one other thing as regards revering lights - I have one lit should both sides work then ? as that may be linked

I pay £5 per month via the Now TV app for Sky Enetrtainment on my device and PS3 so vastly cheaper than Standard Sky and you get live TV so GAme of Thrones plus new series 24 and shed loads of thing on box set and catch up for about 35 pence a day

Filling up at Tescos last week had a more mature lady (BMW) getting very excited at my Zed with particular comments on the Blox gear knob! She even asked if she could sit in it as I filled up. Thats a first.

G'Day All. Have the iPhone all sorted out with the HDMI and fire wire adaptor input - Also want to get my new ipod Classic working. Theres an icon for the iPod on the unit screen but a straight connection isnt being detected by the head unit. Just wondering is this an internal setting on the unit itself or do i need another form of adaptor - the ipod classic has the long plug not the new 5s/Ipad Air smaller type so current adaptor not compatible Appreciate a steer

JDM and UK Clock Function. missing after conversion.
Mudman replied to MidnightRacer's topic in I.C.E & Electronics
Just done the same - Heater Brain was £20 off fleabay and fitting very straight forward apart from releasing the 3 x rear cable connectors on the unit itself which were very stubborn with screwdriver release lug and not much spare cable to play with . Clock works perfectly. Now if only I could get 12/24hr display ...... -
Getting about 26-29 mpg on a 26 mile run on non urban roads - depending on the resistance level to flooring it - has had the uprev which Mark @ Abbey said gave a slight improvement on consumption but pretty much happy with anything 25+

Currently Day 2 of a six day hop to The US and writing this on the road from LA to Las Vegas. Seen lat least 10 Zeds so far but not that modded. Have grabbed a few bits from Walmart, Daytime running LED for 12 bucks and footwell LEDs for 9 bucks. They may nor be any good but worth a punt at that price both can be hard wired in. Off to Las Vegas dealership tomorrow see what Nismos bits they have. Rented a Mustang. Nice car but for all the 5 litre engine performance nothing to a Zed ! Will put some pics up of the bits at some stage

My choices came down to TVR or Zed - after extensive research went with the Zed, mainly as pound for pound IMO theres not a car that gets anywhere near it for sheer fun and love of ownership - I struggled to find anyone local that would touch a TVR for servicing and repairs. But they do sound wonderful and still have a craving haha

Isolate - each time every time I was a sparks apprenctice before joining the Army and unfortunately witnessed a mate do a pole dance on a live steel conduit once. He was OK buit quit the industry as a result really spooked him. Use a circuit tester to see if its live but if were me dont risk it - I seem to recall having seen somnething along the lines of you also need to get this signed off by NICIEC approved Electrican as well ? otherwise insurance can be invalid -Not sure about that was overseas for ages. So if was me would get them to wire in and sign off same time as likely to be less than an hours job

Mudman replied to addisj's topic in 350Z General
I'm 50 ! Please dont think once you reach a certain age the need to throw the car around a bit subsides! Only difference is once you get to that age you can normally pay someone to sort the little errr indiscretions rather than fixing it yourself Good luck and hope it works out for you -
Welcome - we seem to be a growing community in Norfolk Might be worth making a note and doing a meet locally - I know there are other owners in Ely, Lynn and Downham Market and the boys over North Walsham way. Be good to get a central place and check each others Zeds over

My own personal weapon of choice - Fujitsubo Giken. Previous owners only modded a few bits but luckily the exhaust was one of them Its a Legalis R https://www.fujitsub.../legalis_r.html As recently commented by Brillo - did I have to check every morning before startup than no cats had snuck up there during the night

Yep and I have a tongue thats 12" long and can breathe through my ears - and same welcome protocols apply Welcome! -
Must admit when I got back to UK was in a similar position. Had the Zed as my weekend ride but needed something for work. After much research went down the long term leasing path. Got a brand new Honda Civic for 229 PCM. Hand it back after 3 years not interested in keeping it. Company pay me an allowance but this worked best for me

Have spent about 4k on mine. Uprev, new bushes, Y Pipe, pioneer ICE, fitted parking sensors and a load of other things could probably have got a Porsche Caymen but love the Zed so much and such a great drive. She's not cheap but the feeling I get when driving is priceless
