Only have experience with the GTR but believe its the same system and once you've set the system off, you need a new pop up bonnet ECU. It destroys it as far as i'm aware once its gone off.

Thanks Guys. Went from White one to a black one. Have to admit, once clean, prefer the black.

Looks like a nice one and its a main dealer (Toyota) so should be a decent 1 years warranty. Check number or owners and what the history is like before you travel as its not mentiond and there might be a reason for that. Ask when it was last serviced and if it was a while ago, get them to do it and stamp it as part of the deal. Tyres aren't cheap so check the depth.

Finally got my Nismo Well, the wife has White GT Edition sold privately to a nice chap down south and bought this from a dealer up here. First mod was the carbon fibre steering wheel. Supplied by.......ME (Available on my traders section) Have to say, its a nicer car in a lot of ways. Obviously being the facelift and nearly new, it's a little more refined. Quieter exterior noise etc but nicer exhaust note and definitely more punchy power delivery and more torque at low speed. Seems more urgent and wants to be played with. Really pleased. Now to sort the audio. The wife wants the decent sounds back in.

Yes, I would leave the stock HU in place. The JL audio amp is similar to the Hertz HDP5 I use in my PnP kit. There are 3 options open with my kit and you are in the same boat with the JL amp. You can bridge the 4 channels to 2 and double up on power with 150w going to the doors/tweeters or, in my mind, a better option for sound quality, would be to keep the amp at 4 channel for the front but run them active so you have 2 x 75w for the bass speaker and 2 x 75w for the tweeter. Ok, so it might not reach quite the same SPL as 2 x 150w shared but it should be more dynamic and less stress on the amp. I would suggest you speak with the installer and see what they think but thats my opinion. You would need to add another 2 channel amp for the rears or keep the Bose amp in place with the rears connected for some rear fill.

I have hundreds of happy GTR customers all over the world and have sponsored the biggest USA GTR forum and UK GTR forum for many years I work with many specialist tuning shops and dealers and are even first to call from a few Nissan dealerships on the audio system which the 370z shares in all but a few specs. It would take LOTS of effort to get a new head unit installed and I'm not sure this would be a priority. It's not something I would get involved in at this stage and certainly not on-site away from my workshop. Getting your amp, speakers and sub in would be a great idea.

Maybe something I can help you with http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/116817-r35audio-full-pnp-bose-audio-upgrade-kit/
