Thanks for all the comments guys. has anyone done a guide for fitting one and linking up the boss nd steering wheel controls etc?

Afternoon all,

Thought it was time to upgrade my head unit, just found this on ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Double-DIN-Android-5-1-Car-Headunit-DVD-Player-GPS-DAB-WiFi-3G-OBD2-DVR-BT-RDS-/191896277578?hash=item2cade8d24a:g:jFgAAOSw-4BXX73M

Ive had a search but cant seem to find an awful lot about them, anyone fitted similar how did you get on etc, problems and results etc?

Thnx in advance

Oh and yes my bad about the mot... will be booked in at cougar store this week for mot. So will have a full 12 months

I will post a pic of service history later to prove mileage. All garage stamps (most nissan dealers) except the last 2 which I have done myself. I have stapled in receipts for parts used to prove

hows that

Morning all,

Right unfortunately the time has come to sell my zed L It is in immaculate condition inside and out. The only reason for sale is I now need something more practical to carry the kids around.

Heres a few details.

It’s a 2005 Model in the cheaper tax bracket

Current mileage 28,320

Only 2 owners (including myself)

Full service history (see pictures soon)

GT Edition in Kuro black with the usual extras, heated leather seats, bose sound system.

Mods:

Invidia true dual exhaust with burnt stainless tips (still have the original)

Berk Sports Cats (Sounds amazing with the invidia exhaust) (Still have originals)

Plenum spacer

Iriduim spark plugs (1,000 miles)

Pop charger air filter (still have the original box)

Volk GTs 19†Alloys (still have the original wheels)

Tyres pretty much brand new only covered 4,000 miles Toyo proxes T1-R Front 245/40/19 Rears 275/40/19

Front splitter

Stainless steel front grille

Nismo rear spoiler

Brembo brake pads and grooved discs all round (approx. 1,000 miles)

Red stainless steel braided hoses all round (approx. 1,000 miles, brake fluid flush at same time)

Rear diff oil changed approx. 2000 miles ago

Not really sure on price as I haven’t seen many examples of this low mileage with the mods/alloys so was hoping for some feedback.

As it stands I was hoping for around £13,000 or around about £10,000 without the alloys/exhaust as you can see from pics it really is an immaculate example.

Evening all,

Just wanted to say big thanks for to Cougar store for works carried out last weekend and squeezing me in for a last minute MOT.

Fantastic job lads

Cheers

Ahh i found this post when browsing around: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/21148-bleeding-brakes/page__st__60

dunno why search didnt pick it up anyway, that sorts the order of bleeding out

Evening all,

Sorry if this has been covered but Ive searched in the guides section and other and cant find a propper post for it other than general comments here and there.

Anyway, im thinking about overhauling my brakes when funds allow consisting of:

Braided lines

New discs

New pads

New Motul RF600 fluid.

Ive managed to get hold of the nissan service guide and replacing the hoses, pads & discs looks pretty simple. But when coming to bleeding the system its useless. It just says 'have a helper pump the brakes and bleed from the rear right nipple, keep doing this untill no air bubbles are to be seen'

Well I know that there is a specific order using both nipples on the brembo calipers. Could someone confirm this for me please?

Also it doesnt mention how to flush the old fluid out except from 'Open the rear right nipple and pump the brakes untill no more fluid comes out' Again ive read some posts that say do not let the master cylinder run dry as this can create issues? Any advice on what to do here please?

Finally, when ive done previous brake bleeds before ive used an adapter that fits on the reservoir and connects to a tyre which pressurises the system and forces all the fluid out, ive used this before to bleed the brakes as theres no pumping the pedal and no chance of any air getting back through the nipples. Has anyone used this system on the zed before?

Many thanks and when I do the job ill be sure to do a full guide with pictures for future reference

did you get any issues with the quiet speakers after fitting that head unit, looks smart by the way

Evening all,

Right im looking to upgrade the standard cd player to something along the lines of these, too make it look a bit more modern inside,

http://www.ebay.co.u...=item5d4653d56e

http://www.ebay.co.u...=item20f5852a62

I know a few peeps have used the x2600bt has anybody had any experience with the 2700bt? I cant see what extra you get with it for the extra £20 purchase price..

Ive also found this wiring kit as id like to keep the steering controls etc:

http://www.ebay.co.u...mMakeTrack=true

Would this be all I need? Also is there anybody on here selling these wiring kits or is the price not too bad on that including the facia?

Cheeeeeers

Morning all,

Im after a new stereo system for my zed. Id like full size screen, with the facia surround and the bose/steering wheel adapters.

Anyone have anything they want to get rid of or could recommend a decent place to buy new?

Cheers

ah reet, cheers for that. i must admit ive not tackled a fluid swap yet but have only noticed the one on the outside

cheers guys

Evening all,

Has anyone used these before if so any thoughts?

http://www.ebay.co.u...s-/400753590728

I do like the look of the black discs

Cheeers

They need to be bled in a specific order, which is different to 'normal' cars. What exactly did they struggle with? How are the brakes now, spongey?

 

NSR-OSF-OSR-NSF and inner nipples first, then outer.

 

Always take the Z to a specialist that knows what they're doing

Do the brembos have two bleed nipples aswell or are you talking about the standard calipers?

Tah

That's correct regarding the hoses.

 

Gearbox 2.9L (3 bottles of Nissan stuff) and 1.4L for diff fluid (2 bottles).

cheers for that pal

Cheers both.

Ive gone for a k & n oil filter just easier with the nutt on the bottoml

The one step colder plugs i got cheap so will just use them.

Regards the braided hoses is that to prevent flex in the hose so the pedal feels less spongey?

Does anyone know the capacity for the gearbox and diff?

Cheers

Evening all...

Im going to attempt a full self service if at all possible! Not done it before on the Z (except an oil change so any tips or advice muchly appreciated!)

The car is a 2005 reg and covered 22,000 miles. In the log book its had the following done:

P1 at 12k

P2 at 16k

P1 at 17k

P2 at 17.5k

P1 at 20k (self service oil & Filter change)

Im not quite sure whats recommended at this age im guessing pretty much everything, so my plans are:

Coolant change (Nissan premixed coolant)

Brake fluid change (A good brand DOT4)

Gearbox Oil (Can anyone let me know the viscocity as I cant seem to find it anywhere :S)

Rear Diff oil (Again what viscocity is this as for some reason its left blank in my service book)

Engine Oil (Titan Race Full synthetic)

Filter Change ( K & N Oil Filter)

Spark Plugs (Iridium 1 step colder)

Brake pads (Probably redstuff pads unless advised otherwise)

Aux belts

Airfilter not required

Pollen filter

Should that about cover it or are there any other recommendations?

Ive read a few posts about the coolant change being difficult to drain the block and airlocks etc... Is worth getting the local garage to do this or would they simply drain the rad, refil and be done with it as im guessing its pretty simple to do just this part yourself?

If any of the traders on here would like to drop me a PM with a quote for the above that would be muchly appreciated

Cheers all & happy holidays!!

Brill cheers I did google but got different answers as usual had an offer for an inverter but was away from me car and service book so couldn't check. Cheers

Morning all

Can anyone tell me what fuse size is feeding the cigarette lighters in the Z.

I have one in the passenger footwell and one behind the drivers chair.

Cheers!

Sweet have you managed to get any pictures? Cheers
