Only for the DVD version which I think is 2005 onwards. Nissan will charge you a not so small fortune for the latest version but you can get it from online sellers at a decent price. Just double check you get the right version. Pete Thanks Pete, mine is a 2008 and I've got the DVD version behind the drivers seat. Do you know of any online sellers where I can get this from?

Is there an update disc for the factory satnav? I've got the same in mine and sometimes it doesn't find a road I'm putting in. Other than that I've not had any problems with it getting me to my destination

Here's me in Toronto And one of me and the gf

The chargespeed rear bumper is my fave out of the lot

Exhaust sounds great and a sexy looking zed

Welcome to the forum Vincent happy zed hunting!

I think because your passenger side is on the right, the notch on the passenger switch surround for the handle would be on the opposite side to where I'd need it, so it wouldn't fit I've managed to get hold of a spare one from Alex so it should be sorted very soon. Less hassle than filler, etc Having said that I may still go and get some filler use this piece for practice in case something like this happens again!

Lesson learned - and I got off easy this time Well your leather seats turned out great in the end Ian a unique colour to any zed He did check.. And I steered him right with removing his Driver side .. and he got it out with no issues. Then he asked if the passenger was the same way? I STUPIDLY said yes exactly.. without going and taking a quick glance at the passenger.. and I TOTALLY forgot you needed to remove at least the lower bolt of the "Oh **** handle".. and really the whole thing as it puts some pressure on the panel.. and this is exactly why his snapped. I feel bad Don't feel bad dude, I should have thought something wasn't right when it didn't come out easily. I just went in a bit too gung-ho on this occasion. But if you really feel bad feel free to send me some gifts to help cure my Zeditis (although I'm aware there is no cure) Looking forward to getting the replacement now and doing it right!

Stunning example

Welcome to the forum mate lots of friendly and experienced people here to give you advice

Legend mate! I've also PM'd Zmanalex and he said he may have one spare. I'll see if the plastidip covers up the crack but probably still get a new one anyway for peace of mind. Thanks Ian Chirag the cracks will probably still show through the plastidip paint unfortunately. If you want to still use the cracked piece the best way to sort it is to use car body filler to fill in the cracks where it joins. Then sand it back until the surface is smooth again. Then when you paint it you shouldn't be able to see the join. Otherwise I'd just get a new piece if you can. You're right mate, I gave it a try but no good cracks still showing On the flip side Alex has managed to find me a spare one so it's all good!

Thanks guys - I know I've PM'd you about this already Alex - is the passenger side switch surround not the same in all models? I know the driver side is different...

No no not blaming anyone it was an way mistake to make and luckily not an expensive one. I've asked some of the traders on here if they have a spare one going. I guess you learn from your mistakes Yessir.. I responded to your other thread.. and linked you a guide I've personally used.. It's really, really an easy process to take off that handle you are talking about (takes about 2 minutes at most).. If you bought one from Nissan it would be a solid $60-$90.. But you can definitely get them cheaper as you are already on top of.. especially since you are redoing them.. you are looking for the piece in any condition just solid. I still feel a little responsibility here as I didn't mention that piece and it's something technically needs to come off.. I totally forgot that the handle's lower bolt would restrict that piece coming off on the passenger side. Though there is a certain level of "pressure "when pulling these things off that I stop myself.. and think, ok something isn't right here. And have to look around more.. often going back to the internet and researching how things come apart a bit more. Then again.. I've broken a trim piece on this car using VERY little force.. it had simply become so brittle for whatever reason that there was no getting that off without some voodoo magic without it shattering in a dozen pieces. I've since fixed that of course.. and I had the forethought to order all the clip types our cars take from Ebay a week before I started my removal of the whole interior during my installs.. -- That was one of the best decisions I made. I replaced SO many clips, even found some that were broken already and/or missing. Saw those clips at local autoparts stores for $4+ dollars for one! I ordered a whole bag of them for around that price. In the future I'll be sure to at least go take a glance at my own vehicle before throwing out the "ok" on the procedure being the same on an opposite door, as those few seconds would have saved you a bit of a headache. Really wish I had a spare passenger panel and not just the spare driver panel for you. Hey dude it's cool I've managed to use solvent cement to put it back together and am spraying it with plastidip as we speak. Hopefully as it sets it will cover the cracks! Also even if you did have a spare passenger panel I don't think it would fit my car being a UK right hand drive, but I appreciate the thought let's see what the traders on here can come back with too. I'll get some pics up of my DIY job

Hi guys, need a passenger side switch surround as I stupidly snapped mine while trying to take it off to respray! Anyone have a spare knocking about or know of a zed going into breaking?

Thanks Ian, I'll have a look at that. As soon as it snapped, my heart sank

Chromatic I'm in a bit of a pickle - the passenger side has snapped when trying to take it off! It was tucked deep into the silver handle. Is there a way of removing the handle first at all? I've got pics up on this thread http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/80145-painting-engine-bay-bits/page__st__20

Ok so I've made a bit of a c*ck up I removed the driver side switch panel and it came off nice and easy, Sanded and sprayed and ready to be fitted Here's what happened when I tried taking off the passenger side switch panel :scare: Luckily I had some solvent cement from my plumbing toolkit and I've glued it back together and will attempt at spraying it tomorrow hopefully once it sets My question is - is there an easy way to remove the passenger side? Because the actual silver handle which goes across it gets in the way and I'm worried the panel will snap when trying to put it back... Help please

Cheers Matt
