lol. i was only having a bit of a jive. The BOSE is known as abit of a dog, and theres abit of a standing joke about it, BOSE disowning it when this issue was mentioned to them, and how its all made my Clarion.. . . very fishy

its not the 'BOSE' , its the 'Clarion' . .. . . .

is this a go?

well i printed off the nissan bulletin, re: brodgstones making lots of road noise, and showed the techs the alignment angle nissan recommended in there 'recall/bulletin'. It was out of the spec that there machine recommended, but, it was what nissan recommended. it seemed to reduce my road noise. . . . im sure i wasnt imagining it. . . back was out more than fronts, arr well, all set now until i it a curb. . .

theres a guy on they my350z.com site in Oz whos just fitted one. . . look under forced induction forum HKS St

looks really nice matey. yeah next time im on the rock well have to do a Z 'island spin' . . . no kevs allowed. . .hehe Again loving the leather, looks like the seats are more supportive/different too. Can i ask what you paid? I shyed away from Bluchip and used bonsai cars instead. Not as convenient as Bluchip but , just wanted to try something different. I ended up paying £14250 for my car into Guernsey. Black ST 2003 grade 4.5B 13000 miles with Fujitsubo exhaust. Jamie

it had a stock airbox so i assume that is why i didnt hear it, took it up to about 4500 rpm he was next to me i could blat it even if i wanted too

Yep, went and checked it out today. Quite a nice motor. Had an interior re-trim in alcantara all across the headlining and the doors, and some 'luxury; floor carpet etc. Wasnt to my liking, didnt go with the tan seats, if they were re-done would look better. It has the Stillen on it. Personally i think the bonnet is F-ugly, very bodge, but ive seen them smoothed in and they can look good. Driving it, to be honest, i couldnt REALLY boot it,floored it in 2nd and did seem to have a nice pull to it, seemed to smooth out the engine, seemed abit morelinear, but that could be the resistance of the super charger taking out the 'jerkyness' when ya put ya food done. To be honest, i wasnt that impressed. It didnt feel significantly quicker than my own Z, though admittedly, i wasnt able to take it past 55mph and as it had a standard airbox didnt even get to hear any exciting whine which stillens are supposed to have. Its gotta be a turbo. . . . . . .

thats interesting sarnie. . . i might go and check it out. . . its not too far away from me. . .would be interesting to see what its like if they dont mind me tyre kicking. . . jamie

Vortech has good mid/top end performance but misses out low down Stillen is great low down and mid and trails off higher up. + its generally a better all round kit Abbey motorsport have fitted a couple of Vortechs No one i know of in the UK has fitted a stillen, + it requires a different bonnet. . . my350z.com is your friend too. . . .

I imported mine through Bonsai cars, my mate has also just imported an R34 GTR V-Spec , ul probably see him driving around. Some one at xmas told him there was one coming over, he thought he was the only one . hehe. . .not so. . . my mates was dynoed at abbey motorsport last week at 420bhp. nto got alot done to it.

You dont. . . . . . hence the speeding ticket. . .

yes, 35mph. . . . i have one speeding conviction and counting. . . . . the sum of 43mph in a 25mph zone

God damn you, Another Z owner in Guernsey!! they really do look slick driving round our little island . . . . Who did you use to import, Bluchip? Jamie

look like 20"s. Post on the US my350z.com forum the same question. . .

theres a guide on my350z.com about converting the BOSE to have an Aux in. You loose the 'tape' capacity with it

Anyone going down there tonight? IM just down the road from it. . .

by TDI. . . . . . ?

its a sad fact, the yanks can get it done for peanuts compared to us. . . .

how'd it feel flirt? care to divulge? Jamie

yay at last, looks good dude. Whay exactly did they do to your knob when it had a refurb? Mines looking a little worn too. . . . (sexual connetations besides) Jamie

W200 replacement coming out in May. . . .

wait for the new escort passport 9500 (i think) to come out . Has passive detection same as something like a valentine one, and also a GPS antenna so you can 'teach' it where false alarms are and it wont go off next time round. Its been tested on radar roys site and had mega thumbs up. Remebers the GPS location, frequency and number of bogeys, so if next time round theres a legitimate threat it will still go off. You can also teach it static locations. Far better than a road angel if you ask me as they even have the duff (empty) cameras programmed into them, and theres no way of telling if they are fake or not. . . . . . but, obviously i slow down anyway as they are all so strategically positioned in accicent blackspots and never just at random. . .(?) , it would be unethical to speed through such zones.
