-G-

Hoped to pick the brains of guys or girls who have installed this particular head unit in their late model Z33. (Mine is 07) Basically, I'm looking to upgrade to a stereo that will take music from an iPod via USB, stream it via bluetooth from an android phone & double up as a satnav or sat-nav slave to an android device. http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/product_m-pioneer-avic-f70dab_p-32644.htm?gclid=CjwKEAiAw4e1BRDfi7vghaWU9jESJACzo9juJbuC3a-f-CgEpFs8LnjZ5f5u8AaojAJUl6DhO7pVHRoC2ODw_wcB This ticks all the boxes for me but open to folks experiences or alternatives.

I've lost my @*!# in the past when deliberately parking on my own to find a shopping trolley embedded in the side of my car when I return. I don't mind people parking next to me if theyre a decent distance away - but I despise people who leave trolleys on an incline \ static on a windy day. ****ing pisses me off & still can't walk past people who do it without tearing shreds out of them when I see it.

My renewal this month was quoted as £314 - a quick go compare session & phone call to incumbent had that reduced to £240. Happens every year. Just a case of going through the motions.

I lost all hope of a decent Ghostbusters sequel \ prequel \ reboot when Harold Ramis died. I know this remake was in the works before he died but it won't be anywhere near as good as the old team.

Nismo suspension will be leaps and bounds better than the standard so that's not surprising. Interesting that there was a modest increase in power. Probably the exhaust system and a nismo map.

Nice zed :-) Does the 2016 nismo have any power mods over and above the standard spec?

Unless you have a good reason to retain the JDM hardware - I'd agree with the gents above. There are ways to make the satnav work but they aren't straightforward and not inexpensive.

I got into Led Zep years after they split up & Bonham had died. Doesn't lessen my appreciation of them because I invested my money in their music. Always chuckle when recalling my mum telling me that all led zep fans were wierdos when she was a lass. Bless her soul!

Guilt. Peer pressure. Nostalgia. Same thing happened with Johnny Cash. Same thing will happen with Meatloaf, Cher, Clapton, Page, Plant etc etc etc

Anyone who played Gran Turismo 2 for the PlayStation 2 circa 2000 might remember this beast of a car and how rare it was. God knows how they got hold of one, but this car being on sale in the UK is something special :-) https://www.instagram.com/p/BAe-NSaAsm1/

I went for 19's with 245/35 9.5J upfront and 275/35 10.5J at the rear. Wheel offsets are +24 & I have MPSS all round. My zed is on coilover (Zeta Meister R) with a bit of camber to tuck the rear wheels in. Not sure if I'd have needed to roll the arches otherwise.

A week maybe two. Didn't take long at all.

Those are Wedsport SA55M's in BBM (Blue Black Machined) - I bought them from Ravspec - a company in the states. :-)

You're right Jeff - it seems most people who put their cars into hibernation ended up getting them damaged with the flooding :-( I've not been driving mine but thankfully it's somewhere safe. I'll wait until the threat of salt laden roads abates.

Sadly, it seems I recognised your 2 photos with good reason. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/103740-nismo-350z/page__st__60

Well they look like they are on a genuine nismo with the arch extenders, v3 body kit etc. I'd say they are much rarer than lmgt4. Just not as nice to look at.

That's the beasties - USA versions in gun metal grey. Edit Actually they look darker - hmmmmm.

Beat me to it lol :-) thanks for contributing though - they are very similar

My point is, I've been looking for these wheels and the only ones I can find were robbed off nismo spec zeds. http://zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=378599 Is it possible rays only made them for OEM nismo vehicles?

Zeus, you're right - from what I can tell, the USA got a nismo 350z that came with those wheels in a gunmetal grey colour. http://www.autobahnusa.com/used/Nissan/2007-Nissan-350Z-boston-2b3c606f0a0d048d01de41ce8ca8b846.htm That pic is off my 380RS - those wheels came with as standard. http://www.nismo.co.jp/en/products/complete/380RS/index.html

No, they ARE LMGT4 - the wheel I've posted is a nismo spec wheel but I've never seen it on any normal Zed. Hence my question.

Are these as rare as LMGT4 wheels?

You can't tell from looking. Was wondering if he'd gotten it off a Japanese scrappie!

+1 looks a tidy motor & changing colour is a cinch with a decent 3M wrap. £1400 is easily under your budget for what you'd spend otherwise.

Looks like a 380RS engine bay with that cowling. Where did you find that from?
