There is a retail BT Adaptor that can be purchased from a non Nissan dealer that is configured to work with the THB Bury retail car kits that fit any vehicle. This adaptor will not work with the our Nissian OEM version of car kit. (I know because I bought one and sent it back). This new OEM BT Adaptor is designed spefically to work with Nissan Kits and can only be purchased via a Nissan Dealer. Hope this clears things up? Thanks Neil

Me too, Neil, but just wanted to express my appreciation to anyone who takes the time and trouble to organise a group buy. Thank Digsy... List is null and void then gentlemen as you can ourchase directly from John at Holdcroft's. Neil

No thanks to Neil then Val for starting it off in the first place then mate? Glad everyone is getting a deal. Neil

Thanks Beavis Recommend you use them for your services mate..any warranty issues are sorted quickly with success. That makes a change doesn't it ? Neil

ehm not strictly true mate: I've just negotiated exactly the same thing based on numbers with Thor Racing with regards to UTECs and they were willing to give me a discount based on how many we would purchase (ie 10% 1-4, 20% 5-9, 30% 10+ ) so as you see it's doable even before getting any numbers OK...for the benefit of Val (sorry mate, didn't realise this was a lesson in sales - I was just trying to offer something to the members and the forum ) Quantity - 5 to 9 - £99.00 delivered in UK Quantity - 10+ - £93.50 delivered in UK Thanks to those poeple who have shown interest so far. Any other takers? Please add to the list. Thanks Neil

Please add your name to this list if interested... Neil Digsy IT10

Thanks Digsy... Start of List then. Please add your names to this list. Neil Digsy

Until I can go to John at Holdcroft with numbers I cannot say. There is no commitment on your part to buy but merely say you want one. After I have negotiated the price I will inform everyone and if you think it's a good deal, you can purchase one. I cannot negotiate a good price without having a concrete quantity - that's sales I'm afraid ! Neil

Yes that's right. If I can get a commitment, subject to price, for say 20 adaptors - they will price accordingly. As a rule of thumb however, they sell on ebay as well and I bought a tonneau Cover for £70 delivered. I rang another Nissan dealer and they quoted me £245! They buy in bulk to offer discounts. Neil

Peeps ! Not wishing to tread on anyones toes here, but on Monday this week, I took my car in to Holdcroft Nissan, Hanley and have to say, they are the best dealer I have found to date. Worth the 120 mile round trip for me! The guys there Listen to any problems and sort them without the usual fuss we have all no doubt experienced from other dealers? I mentioned the new bluetooth adaptor for our car kits, which is different to the retail adaptor made by the same car kit company (THB Bury). They called me today to tell me that they had had one delivered and have tested it with 5 different bluetooth phones and it works perfectly. I suggested a group buy and they are keen to offer an attractive discount depending on numbers. As a guide, if I buy just one, it will cost £110 delivered. If anyone is interested, please let me know. I will then tell them the numbers interested and give you the discounted price and also details of the Parts Manager so that you can order directly from them, with a unique reference they give me. Be quick guys as I want to order one for myself Neil

Add me to the Saturday please... Neil

Why didn't you wave ??? Technical Sales Manager - EMEA www.merlotcom.com

I have sent an email with Nissan's reply to those of you who have given me your personal email address. Your comments are most welcome. Many thanks. Neil

Just PM'd you guys that have shown support on this..thank you. Neil

Sent a PM to you all.... Thanks for your support Neil

I forgot to mention... Nissan Customer Service told me that they did not cover stone chips as they cannot be responsible for the speed I drive and how close I am to the vehicle in front! Think I might give driving in reverse a try! Still need a CEO contact if anyone can help please? Thought I might try them first before going to 'Judge Judy'. Thanks Neil

Thanks Traktion...I was beginning to think I was on my own for a moment there ! Neil

Nissan are currently using the following in their sales literature which prompted me to contact them. 'Can our paint resist diamonds?' Did You Know - We test our paint using the hardest natural substance known to man - diamond. Using real diamonds, fired point blank from a compressed air gun at over 100mph, our paint is tested to the extreme. If it isn't tough enough to resist, it isn't used. As I have in my opinion, excessive stone chips on the bonnet and the front wings after only 26,000 miles, I spoke to Nissan Customer service was told to take my car to a dealer for a paint inspection, which I did yesterday. I received a phone call from Nissan Customer Services that afternoon to be told that 'they perform a durability test using diamonds' and they will not entertain stone chips. I asked the agent to define 'durability' 3 times and she could not. What annoys me is that they speak to 'us' customers in a patronising way and when I asked her for a name to write to, she flatly refused to offer, telling me that it was no use. If anyone can offer a Director or CEO contact email address at Nissan to enable me to write to them, I would appreciate it. Please PM me. I suggested that I contact Japan and she replied 'that's OK, they will only refer your enquiry back to the UK anyway'. I am thinking of contacting 'Watchdog', 'Top Gear' or some other consumer rights organisation, as it goes against the grain to be given a take it or leave it attitude, on a car that is at the top of their range. Looking at previous threads, it is clear that there is a paint issue on the Zed?..I assume that you guys are with me? As an aside...I also explained to the agent that the roads were not covered with diamonds, but stones. Why don't they fire stones at the paint for a more accurate assesment! I also think that I am probably building a rod for my own back as I will be labelled as a problem customer and I still have a year's warranty left on the car, but what the hell...someone has to speak up eh? Neil

I am currently talking to Nissan Customer Service as one of their selling features is that they test all paint by firing diamonds from a gun, point blank at 100mph, and if the paint chips, they do not use it. So, you would think that stone chips would be no problem then? I have been told by Nissan to take my car to a dealer for a paint inspection and they have given me a reference number. I'll let you know the outcome... Neil

Awesome Guys...well done

'Pussy' is the best one !!!!

Thanks everyone... I take your point about value of car 350znismo as I have a UK car. I assume you mean that it will lose value if I tart it up a bit? I don't want to get carried away though....I would think that adding a Nismo bodykit would not affect price negatively will it? Can't add any performance parts to the engine as it affects warranty of course. Again, thank you all for you replies and hope to see you at a meet sometime in the future. Neil

Hi Everyone, My first post and I'm asking for information already I'm looking for a 350z bodykit to buy, preferably from a UK source. Also performance parts / accessories sources in the UK as well. Can anyone help please? Many thanks Neil
