All

Apologies for taking so long to reply but I didn't want to post anything until things were confirmed. Anyway the items are now sold to the first person that PM'd me

Unfortunately my relationship with my 350Z has had to be brought to a premature end. After only 3 months of owenership work / financial changes mean I'm doing a lot more miles and as I don't have the facility to keep two cars she has to go. I might have only had her for a few months but during that time I added a couple of little things which are now up for sale.

Kenwood DDX4016BT Double DIN Stereo and 350Z fitting kit. The stereo includes AM/FM Radio, USB Connection, Bluetooth Music and Telephone Connection, CD/DVD Player, the only thing that's missing is the microphone but you can pick those up easily on ebay. I'm looking for £130 which will include postage within mainland UK

Sold

Next up is a set of LED rear lights, they aren't orognal Nissan but they fit like a charm and look really good on the car, for these I'd like to get £80 to include postage to mainlan UK. They are in perfect condition and will come in the box they were shipped from the USA.

Sold

Finally comes a gear knob I purchased from this forum, it's brushed aluminium without any colour picking out the gear numbers or 350z along it's side. I'm looking for £25 which will, you guessed it, include postage to anywhere in the UK mainland.

Sold

Drop me a PM or email if your interested and we can sort out the details

Thanks

Carl

Got mine from eBay, £30 for the pair, easy install and work great.

Hi

I seem to be having an issue with my oil pressure gauge. When I turn the car on, engine not started, the gauge shoots up to three quarter. When I then start the car it treats that level as the base and essentially reads off the scale. Has anybody seen this before and do you reckon the fault is with the gauge or the sender?

I'm thinking about changing the gauges to check as they're on eBay for £20. I called my local stealer about the sender and they are quoting £120!

Thanks

Carl

Took me a while but I finally made a decision, going to go for the tried and tested rout so the car is booked in to Hrosham Development for Tuesday!

Nice drive up and, hopefully, even nicer drive back:-)

Unfortunately something's come up and I won't be able to make the trip to Bristol after all. I'll keep an eye out for the next one though and hopefully I'll be able to make it.

Thanks all, I'll try the suggestion to see if it's already been uprev remapped

I bought it from a second hand car dealer in Plymouth, it was part ex'd with a local Nissan dealer and he got it from them. I've got the service history and receipts for new timing chains in July but he didn't have much knowledge about the extras that were fitted to the car.

As you say though Horsham Developments isn't exactly a long drive away sp maybe I'll give them a ring. I don't think it's been uprev tuned as the HFCs are causing the CEL to come on and I think that would most likely have been turned off if when uprev'd? If I book it in with them they can take a look and if it needs tuning to get the best out of it they have everything there to do it.

It's taken me a week but I've finally realised the, what I thought was, standard 350Z I picked up last weekend has a few extras:

Pop Charger

Kinetix Plenum

HFCs & Aftermarket Exhaust (no idea what make as I can't see any markings)

Can anyone recommend any tuners in the South West (I'm in Exeter, Devon) so that I can make the most of what the last owner fitted or do people recommend a trip across country to get an UpRev?

Thanks

Carl

These look great, can I get a brushed metal one with the 350z left clear but the gear lettering in back?

Well I've had my 350Z a week now and I have to say it's been a week of discoveries, primarily because I was apparently so pumped about buying it I didn't pay attention to what I was buying. When I bought the car the only upgrade I noticed was a Pop Charger (fairly obvious hence I saw it), since then though I've made some further discoveries:

Kinetix Plenum

HFCs (only noticed those because the CEL light came on so I took a look expecting to have to replace the CATs)

Upgraded Exhaust (also noticed when checking the CATs)

I've got no idea what make the HFCs or Exhaust is but considering I was budgeting around £1500 for those items I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth!

Anyway I bought a few items to fit to the car, new stereo, stubby aerial, vent trims, boot struts etc but I was thinking since the last owner spent a fair amount of performance upgrades to would be a shame to waste them.

Hence my post, sorry it's taken so long, but does anyone know any good places for a remap in the South West or should I plan a trip across the country to get an UpRev?

Any advice greatly appreciated

Have I missed it but what time?

Thanks all, been spending a few quid over the last few days so lots of little tasks on the Z coming up. Also discovered I have a Kinetix plenum, not sure what that means but shows how much attention I was paying when I bought the car that I didn't notice!

Picked up my Gunmetal 350z on Saturday, I'm in Exeter

Had a word with the garage I got it from today and they agreed to replace both cats so HFC's will have to wait a little while. Mind you now the seed has been sown I'm thinking HFC's, Invidia Gemini Exhaust and UpRev will be on the cards next Spring!

Just have to keep it quiet from the wife

The way these suggestions are going I'm going to end up in the poor house

Lol, funny enough I was thinking just that although I'd have to put my new stereo on hold for a while. Mind you with the way the car sounds who needs music:-)

The mileage is just over 91K, I took the car for some extended test drives before buying it and there was no problem. The only thing I've done between then and now is filling up with SUL and getting it valeted.

Hi, the first time I think it was 0420 and 0421 showing erros on both cats, the second was just 0420 so showing an error on one of them.

Thanks

Carl

Only modification is a pop charger that was on it when I got it. I guess it'll be a trip down to the dealer next weekend then:-(

Hi

Apologies if this has been answered but I picked up my car yesterday, 2004 350z, and after reading about the correct fuel to use I filled up with Tesco Momentum. I'm pretty sure that the car had been run on standard fuel for a while before I picked it up but I figured start as you mean to go on and all.

Anyway the CEL has started coming on intermittantly and the error is showing as the catalytic converters aren't functioning properly. If I clear the error the light goes off for a while and then comes on, usually when I get the revs up a little:-) Unfortunately as it's my first weekend with the car that's happening quite often!

I'm assuming it's related to changing to 99 octane fuel so I was going to leave it a few weeks to settle in before calling the dealer but I was wondering if anyone else has had this just in case?

Any advice would be welcome

Thanks

Carl

Welcome, just got a 04 coupe myself and I have to say I'm having a great time

Hi, can you send me the details of how I go about ordering these please
