can anyone tell me what the little illuminated button is for on the birdview satnav remote sensor next to the screen? I've pushed it (as you would) but it dosnt seem to do anything also I cant find the holder for the remote, it says in the manual there should be one cheers Phil

Picked up my z last weekend and love it to death, its got every extra available (AFAIK) but those reverse parking sensors are just plain annoying. I know the rear visability is crap, so I was thinking about fitting a small reversing camera, that hopefully could be switched on with the power from the reverse light. I already have the birdview satnav & screen fitted, but if I was to take apart the dashboard, would there be a spare input into the screen for the camera & also would it switch automatically to the camera signal when the camera had power and revert to the satnav for normal driving ? I dont really want to start taking all the dashboard apart if theres no way this would work. any advice or personal experience is appreciated cheers Phil

yep, used to have a silver scooby , then the Evo VII. sold the Evo because it was going to cost me 4k for a service, 4 new tyres & insurance. decided to buy a cheap runaround for work , lasted for 6 months until I could find the right replacement so now got the 350z, not as much power, but a bit more grown up refined fun some subtle mods planned, but not too much this time Phil

yep, got it in the end after he knocked of a couple of grand, I think he realised (or I persueded him) that he'd priced it way too high if you consider cars available at the moment. gonna have to put it in the garage for a week though while I'm working away, but when I get back I'll treat it to a days worth of elbow grease & meguirs products just need rid of the big dopey nissan badges and the big ass ariel now, oh and get this bluetooth thing & updated satnav disc sorted. I was also under the impression tht the sat-nav was touch screen, but it only works with the remote thanks all for your advice when I origionally asked about this car, it proved invaluable as I spent nearly 2 hours going over it cheers Phil

well after searching for a car for 6 months , I've finally fallen in love with a 350z Its not as pokey as my old 360 BHP EVO 7, but comfort and build quality more than make up for it its an 04 UK GT with (AFAIK) every extra inc satnav. I just need to find out how to sort out my phone for bluetooth (its only got the tiny phone cradle) and I'll be happy heres a pic, but its bad quality as the car is really chilli red oh, and if anyone can point me in the direction of an up to date satnav disc, I'd be very gratefull

I thought the same, but it turns out he has a crappy camera. The car is actually chilli red

went to see the car, but he wasn't prepared to move on the price & it had 66k miles on it, so I walked away. Thanks all for your help, the search continues

thanks for that. I'm reading up as much as possible on the model as I want to go see it within a few hours. I've never owned a car with this sort of mileage so could do with as much help/opinions as possible is there anything I should be particularly worried about with this sort of mileage ? cheers Phil

I'm thinking of going to look at a 350z this morning. its an 04 GT UK with everything I just love the colour the only thing thats slightly putting me off at the moment is the mileage.. its done 60k I assume the car would still be under warranty, but would this mileage put you off ? I have the cash, so was goingh to offer him £16500 what do you think link to car---> http://dealerservices.autotrader.co.uk/ ... 5&pageid=1

I'm sure it will Mike, but I'm now thinking of importing my own. Only thing thats worrying me slightly is the tiptronic box. I've had a few jap cars (Impreza ,EVO) but they've always been manual, so I'm going to request a test drive and see how I feel about the tiptronic.. If it all go's well I'll be importing my own very soon thanks to everyone who has given thier input into this thread It's greatly appreciated cheers Phil

well, I was supposed to go see the car at 6:30, but he phoned me at 4:30 telling me he had sold it pi**ed off is an understatement.. oh well.. off hunting again

Thanks for all the info (and the thread hijack) , still hopeing to go see it tomorrow evening. hopefully I'll be a member of the fold soon cheers Phil

thanks for the advice I'll let you know how I get on cheers Phil

never thought of taking a CD, but good advice anything else apart from the usual checks ?

link would be good buds, cheers Phil

I'm off to look at a 350z on Tuesday night, just wanted to know if theres anything in particular I should look out for. The car is an 03 GT with UK satnav, brembos, leccy heated leather seats etc, in burnt orange. It has covered 36000 miles and is a JDM The guy is asking £16k which I think is a fair price cheers Phil

yeah, would be nice to have a tuscan as a weekend toy, but I'm afraid what I buy will definately get used everyday. I've just found a Jap 03 burnt orange GT thats loaded with everything apart from the buttons on the steering wheel, even has UK sat nav fitted 36000 miles , he wants £16000

sorry for the late reply, work is in the way at the moment. anyway.. I'm down to the last few, which include 350z Sti Impreza EVO Tuscan 6 speed exige I've had an Impreza in the past, and recently sold my 360 bhp EVO, I'm slightly worried about the reliability of the TVR & lotus, so that just leaves the 350z I'm looking at spending about 18k at the moment, but that could rise depending on contracts, if it rises enough, then add to the selection a noble M12 hopefully, with cash I'm hopeing to get a decent deal, but with winter looming, do I really want to spend all that hard earned on a nice car ,when I can use my works van for free bit of a dilemma really. I'm going to speak to JCImports this week and go have a look at what he's got as he dosnt seem to update his site very regularly. The other thing was insurance. I got quoted just under £600 for a UK zed, but about £1k for a jap one .. cheers Phil

thanks guys, really appreciate the speedy input. I'm in no rush for a new car at the moment, but after selling the EVO I'm getting a bit impatient of getting behind the wheel of something special again I'm gonna keep a close eye on the boards as I've got my choice down to the last few, the 350z being one of them any more info is thankfully recieved thanks again Phil
