  1. Gone and bought myself a 50" plasma as a xmas prezzie to me & 'er in doors, so my 100Hz 44" TV is up for sale

     

    Its less than 2 years old in perfect working order & not a scratch on the screen, it has virtual dolby surround/enhanced sound speakers + Subwoofer hidden within the TV enclosure, it also has a region free DVD player built in.

     

    connection wise, it has 3 scarts (1 true RGB) phono jacks, digital optical outputetc

     

    £300 collected as I need to shift it ,its in the way now. Im based in Leeds

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. 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

  5. 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

  6. 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

  7. 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

  8. 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

  9. 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
