  1. you mean a standard head unit with dvd/sat nav and not a pc right? no idea what he means about 1.1/2 - if he is talking about the space where the radio is then it's a 2 DIN space where the stereo is.. you can fit a 2004-2006 cubby to a 2003 model car no problem (although if you want to fit a touchscreen then its easier to fit in the 2003 cubby as the sliding mechanism is less bulky and the back of the cubby can be removed easilly).
  2. you will also need some sort of inverter or power supply designed for auto-shutdown/startup of car pc, a new headunit and associated adapter(s).. you should be aiming for low power usage (my PC uses under 60 watts) - just bunging a pc in the boot and connecting it to some cheapo inverter is a half-arsed job - spend more and do it properly.. achieving a stable power supply (that can survive engine crank) to the screen and the PC is important for a proper install. other costs may include wiring/usb hubs/bluetooth/network cards/tv and radio integration/steering wheel control interface etc no idea what wireless sound transfer is meant to mean.. I wouldnt try and do it for less than 500 quid (even buying some 2nd hand stuff)
  3. whoever voted car PC - please detail how to do it for 200 quid! ....
  4. with 200 quid budget.. i vote TomTom
  5. good to get out and see a few Z's today here's my photos - flickr can show them different sizes, so if you want 3000x2000 images then go for it.. http://www.flickr.com/photos/pingu2/set ... 924773680/
  6. me and zedrush both have fitted car PC - you can check our previous posts in ICE section..
  7. OK Daron just messaged me about this - I can make it I think so add me to list!
  8. best option in my opinion is to buy the parts from funkystyling and get your dealer (or good local mechanic if you use one!) to fit them..
  9. mine's clicking too! going to get it sorted later in year - think Envy sell the parts you need to fix it?
  10. I would be happy to be collected in an older Bentley or a Rolls - but to be collected in a continental gt .. ewww
  11. i was just objecting to the post disbelieving that they cant keep up.. I am well aware its not what they are designed for!
  12. I stick by my opinion that the 350z is quicker down a decent road (ie with bends in it!). Curb Weight: 2385 kg (5258 lb) 12.8 sec quarter mile is not impressive for a 550bhp car.. Nurbergring lap times.. http://forums.streetfire.net/printthread.php?t=12129 (the Arnage T cant keep up in a straight line even..) .. the main reason for not wanting one (apart from the fact im not rich!) is the crass styling and vulgar image..
  13. automatics 350z are fine (if that's what floats your boat!) - you will have to get an import as nissan UK never sold the autos, but thats not a real problem

    If you are recording the images you need to register under the Data Protection Act I think
  15. 17k certainly should be achievable from private seller..
  16. I have bought my copy as I think he deserves the cash and want to see development continue..

    hmm against fierce donkey's Z?
  18. nice - but for some reason the girl in the lowest pic you posted is scaring me..
  19. Ah - I have centrafuse running on my carPC - good choice of front end it is possible to rig an AUX in to the Bose head unit but doing so will lose the ability to play tapes (oh no!) - have a look on my350z.com for the how to guide - think it's stickied in the ICE section.. it's not hard if you know one end of the soldering iron from the other. Personally I would just replace the head unit (and have done so).. you wont necessarily need to change out the amp/speakers if you replace the head unit - you can buy a PAC ROEM unit (ebay USA) that will allow you to keep existing amp/speakers if you want.. (this is what I have wired up)..
  20. of course its staged and provides very little info on cars these days.. but its as funny as a belgian with a hat full of eels did annoy me that they kept saying they were going to the north pole when actually they ended up 800 miles from it..
  21. hmm just 3 items for £2500?
