  1. Thanks for the replies guys, the BOSE hack did interest me while i was searching, but then i had in my mind i didn't really want to start changing the standard HU and if i was going to i might as well just buy one of the new HU where i could steam my google maps from my phone also. 

     

    I don't have sat nav in mind so this would be helpful. Now you've said the bluetooth isn't very compatible with modern phones i think this is going to be the way forward. 

     

    Would you guys recommend going for an actual android based HU or stick with a known brand like Alpine or Pioneer?

     

    Cheers

  2. It would appear these are often sold from the 350, or so i have read anyway. Which is my guess as to why my module is missing from the cradle in the center console. 

     

    I have a 2007 GT, so I believe this should be standard. 

     

    Is my best option to try and find a stock item (which I can't seem to) or go for something aftermarket to get hands free on the Z?

     

    Also, i'd quite like to have a bluetooth music streaming option, which I have read is not supported on the Bose? I know there are options for a tap converter, but i remember the quality of those being pretty poor....

     

    What do you guys do in today's world or tech as I have read a lot of post which are actually very old?

     

  3. Wow, amazing responses guys. Whilst i was googling i saw someone write this was one of the most helpful and freindly forums around, it seems they were right!

     

    I will make sure i check all of the above upon purchase and as said its easy to check for the right Engine. 

     

    I am thinking i will cancel my appointment with J17 cars now. 

     

    I do want the GT pack as i want the leather seats and the extras that also come with, my other criteria is blue. I will do some more searching. 

     

  4. That clears that one up easily then, strange how every source online i have looked at stated the HR Engine starts in 2007 onward. That's what i get i suppose for looking at American sources   :lol:

     

    What are the opinions on others on the import above as I've also read about the "rev up" engine which was a revised DE fitted from 2005?

     

    I wouldn't consider the about 2007 now as it was the Engine i wanted it for :/

  5. Hello, 

     

    I am looking to purchase a 350Z this weekend after much deliberation over a new car (new to me). 

     

    I am quite confused though by the information i have found online and the information supplied by various dealers and private sellers, i am hoping you guys could clarify. 

     

    My main piece of confusion is model differences;

     

    Ideally i would buy and have seen a 2007 > model, with the HR Engine as apparently it is better in many ways (so i read) But several cars for sale do not have the bonnet bulge to show the revised engine inside, sadly there are no Engine bay pictures. Is it right the engine looks different from the DE? Something to do with a double intake? 

     

    Am i wrong and it is not 2007 as i have read?

     

    https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/nissan/350z/nissan-350-z-v6-sports-3-5-manual-petrol/7642553 - 2007 but seems to not have the new Engine?

     

    https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/nissan/350z/nissan-350z-gt-3-5-2dr-manual-petrol-coupe/7379123 - What would this import have? 

     

    Thanks

    Neil
