I would agree - I think a low % of members have owned since new

Cool Cheers for clarifying

Take a look at http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=16403 for many of your answers

Just out of interest are you wet laying the carbon over the top or are you laying carbon into moulds etc? (Just looks like your laying carbon up ontop in the picture of that cover thing)

Hmm don't like the look of that trim too as its made of metal, would be too easy to slip and scratch the panel/paintwork, specially with those pokey out bits Would rather go for something like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sealey-Trim-Tool--%26-Upholstery-Tool-Kit-Set-5Pc_W0QQitemZ160331829448QQcmdZViewItem

i.e. they are nothing special so the scum don't look to steal them so much now

For me some simple trim bits would be nice such as door handle trim, window switches trim (really want this as it scratches soooo easily) For many of the trim pieces there are foreign suppliers but IMO if we could establish a UK supplier it would be much more advantageous.

Don't worry about it - more and more cars are now coming out with integrated double din units so non-removable screens are not the 'special' case. As for what to do. IMO Just replace the BOSE with an all in one such as the Kenwood 5240

Looks better in the flesh although in black not sure I really like it. Never have liked the front bumper - those teeth remind me of the aftermarket jap bumpers from 10 years ago. Think the Nismo front bumper looks soo much better

I would strongly recommend running a separate power feed for the install rather than pulling it from the rear power outlet.

Think these are being made in mainland europe and roumered to be LHD only. Shame. Sounds like they are just looking to over-charge for some mods

Yup as you say answer buttons do not work. AFAIK there is no aftermarket car kit that will use the factory buttons. Only the factory stereo buttons can be used with aftermarket stereos. Its 'probably' possible with a bit of wiring but not a un-plug:plug job thats for sure

You don't want to be using a normal long reach socket you want to use a specific spark plug one. The reason is once you have un-done the spark you need to get it out. A spark plug socket has a rubber section in it to hold onto the spark ...see below

Yup looks over-priced. Looks like hes trying to get his money back for the mods which just doesn't happen. Would get more by putting it back to standard and flogging the parts separately.

Technically you cant park in front of a dropped kerb if they have the planning permission so that kerb is now access to their property so u will be breaking the law parking there. BUT if they don't have planning permission its a very grey area. I would say report him, if they have not got planning they 'could' be fined NOTE: If you make an official complaint you will have to declare it when you come to sell the house which might end up with people asking questions

you should be able to get a normal socket style one for the spark, then you can use an extension bar to get it down and then a nice big ratchet and you should be able to get a nice bit of torque to undo it

Sorry for dragging up the old thread. Looking at doing this myself soon. How did you measure the tension. Did you have a special tool or did you just judge how tight it should be?

For the 404 it would be the BT400 which I think it much much better than the older 350/300BT units as its developed by Parrot who are the industry defacto standard for handsfree

1. Seems i will be able to control this via the steering controls with the correct lead installed? Yes with the right loom 2. Seems i need the correct double din facia adapter for this? Are these easy to source? Yes quite few suppliers 3. I assume this can connect straight into the BOSE system? Any issues with this? Not really - depending on the loom can sometimes be quieter but this can be sorted 4. I'm guessing the best place for the ipod is in the arm rest cubby? yes For loom/facia thoughts take a look at viewtopic.php?f=17&t=16403

No different form Chelseas funding

lol - It won't do much. If he took the pic he's every right to sell it.

Obviously the spokes are powdercoated, is it just the very thin lip that has been polished with the rest of the 'dish' being the factory silver? Can't really tell from the pics. You got any close up ones of the dish/edge?

You got any better pics and what facia was used

Thats not bad value really. OK it could be done for much less if you wanted yourself but many don't have the time/ skill to do it so this really is a well priced alternative.

Yup it sounds like a really cool mod....until you have to live with it. I've done this to a previous car and while its rather cool and you get some quisicle looks when you open the door it can be a real pain in the air. When its posssing it down with shopping/bags its soo much easier just to open the door normally. IMO I would only do this mod to a proper show car, def not a daily driver otherwise it will drive you mad like mine did.
