Ah that makes sense, many thanks Richf

So it's not a water protection guard? I understand these things get pretty hot and had thought the guard was to protect them from sudden cooling

Noticed a rattle under my 2004 GT (UK) and traced it to one of the cats (offside). The thin metal shield around the cat has rotted away from the flange at one end and has a couple of small rusted holes in as well. Q1...Anyone know if this can be repaired to keep it going as it's just passed it's mot so the cat itself is good. Q2...Would a good used one be ok or would I need a new one. If so anyone know where's the best place to try? Q3...Is this metal shield simply a heat shield or is it to prevent water getting onto the cat itself?

Very impressed with this 3 D printing malarkey and your innovative thinking. Respect!!

HEADPHONES, that look promising, thanks Randy_Baton Yep you got it, lazy kids! I terminated my Bose hack into a jack socket mounted in the cubby (pic below) where I had already mounted my Tom Tom. So stretching all the way over to plug in the lead,mconnect it to the phone and hang it on its cradel is toooooooo much effort ! http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/103779-sat-nav-install/

Not up to speed on this subject and looking for guidance. I'm passing my 2004 GT (UK) on to my daughter who would like to play her downloaded music from her phone through the Bose system. I've already modded the Bose to allow a jack plug/socket connection from her phone to the Bose, using the tape deck circuitry, but it's not as convenient. Can a blue tooth connection be made somehow between her phone and the Bose or will I have to replace the Bose??

Your also supposed to wait several minutes, poss 10 mins to let any charged components to discharge

Many thanks guys, I hope it's as straight forward as you suggest, cos I don't fancy having my hair style and underwear ruined by having an air bag go off in my face. Oh no no no!!

What precautions do you need to take to remove the seats and steering wheel. Battery disconnection a given. I was going to see if the drivers seat padding can be improved and I've a problem (since new almost) with the left turn indicator not cancelling exactly when it should. I'm worried about the associated air bags and how sensitive they may be during removal. Thanks.

Many thanks young man!

Can forum members get a discount from Opie Oils, and if so how do I go about it.

PM'ed ref boot struts

Slightly different request from me. I'm thinking of taking my drivers seat out to see if I can pad the base of it a little more. Can anyone tell me if there is anything to watch out for regarding the seat air bags or can I just unplug, unbolt and take it out??

Bugger!!

I'm afraid to admit that almost everyone is younger than me these days, ho hum. You loose so much day to day info when you retire from work, so all this technology and techno speak is beginning to leave me behind. That said if there's some way I can get a copy onto my iPad that would be great. I hadn't realised the original manual I've been using all these years was located on another site, I thought it had been available on this forum. Don't know what the copyright issues might be but it would be very nice if this forum was able to make a copy available, cos I'm sure lots of members were using the last one.

Is it possible this forum could get hold of a copy of the workshop manual for members to refer you??

That sounds like an idea, thanks. BUT...I'm getting old so what is your Drop Box? I've tried getting to the manuals on the Nico club forum but without success, looks like you may have to register, although I've not found out how just yet. You may then have to pay to get a copy.

Death on wheels!! IMO. Take great care, you don't get many chances if you come off one of those. The bike looks great but a fast bike, badly maintained roads, lots of idiot road users and excuse me for saying, a slightly older gentleman riding it, makes for a dodgy combination. Im an older guy too and if your like me and still enjoy the thrill of speed, there WILL be a day when you open it right up or take bends faster than you should. Enjoy it but please take care. Best of luck

Anyone know what's happened to the workshop manual we all knew and loved? I have a link on my iPad which I've used many, many times before. Touching the link used to take me to an Index page, then I would tap on the section I wanted, engine, interior etc and I'd get all the instructions, pictures and circuit diagrams I needed. Now the link takes me to the Index page but when I select any of the sections I'm taken to "NICOclub.com" What's Happened ??

To late! Decided to connect them as supplied and see how the mot goes. If there's any problems I'll reverse the brake and fog connections as I've said. By the way these light units make a world of difference and are much better than the oem units. If you buy a set you will probably find that on the offside unit one of the plastic locating tabs doesn't match up with the locating hole on the bumper. If so, just cut it off. Also as others have mentioned in earlier posts, be sure to add additional sealant along the top edge and anywhere you feel might be susceptible to water ingress.

Apologies but Im in a dilemma about how to connect these lights. For those who have them ....do you think it's better to connect the brake light wiring to the Fog connection and the Fog connection to the Brake wiring IE reverse them. Since the Brake function LEDs are much brighter than the Fog LEDs this would give brighter Fog lights and we don't need the CarLab brake lights to be bright because we already have the oem brake lights. Hope that makes sense.....what do you think???

IS THERE ANYBODY THERRRRREEEEEEEE í ¾í´”

Hello.....is there anybody theeeeeeeeeeerrr

Can anyone who has fitted these units please answer a question for me. It will help in sorting a problem I'm having with mine. Q...when mounted to the car which direction do the led reflectors face. On my near side unit they face to the right IE towards the number plate, and on the offside unit there angled to the left, IE towards the number plate also. Is this right ?? Thanks
