  1. As it was mapped at RS Tuning, is it the UpRev tune? Also from the dates I take it the tune and bhp was before the high flow cats? Have been out of the Z scene for about 3-4 years (had a charged Z back then), how many hours is a typical clutch install? Also looks like a mark on the rear bumper in the photo, is that a scratch or dirt?
  2. Am tempted back to a 350Z, and this has to be one of the best cheap Zeds I have seen. However am another southerner! If this was within a couple of hours then I would be round for a look, but need to be 100% before heading 300 miles each way!
  3. One up for the run flats!! I know I would have loved to have had run flats on my last car, knackered the whole alloy when a tyre blew on me, was only doing 10 mph too! Would have cost me £400 for new rim from the stealer if I hadn't picked one up second hand for £50!
  4. Yeah think you are right, but I also thought the 275s on the Volks I had were too thin, the rim was exposed quite a bit. A 285 tyre is well within tolerance, is only slightly further off standard rolling radius than a 275.
  5. No one has even looked at it Someone must need some good rear tyres?!
  6. Now in eBay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0145441536 Starting at £280 with no reserve
  7. Back ones aren't that difficult to do, I did mine myself, you just need to be careful removing the trim, but i agree - it is a lot of work just to get to the speakers!
  8. Hi guys As i prepare my Z for sale, the to be owner has enquired about me leaving the sub in the car (Infinity Basslink) and wiring it into the standard Head Unit. I currently have it wired up to my Alpine HU, using the Sub RCAs and the Alpine, remote switch (blue) wire to turn it on and off with the HU. I am pretty sure the standard Nissan unit doesn't have any RCA pre-outs, but are any of those wires a pre-out in disguise? If not then I am assuming I would have to wire the sub in parallel to the rear speakers (Basslink has the option to connect via low level pre-outs or speaker level) and then find the correct "switch" wire on the back of the Nissan unit. So my questions: Which wire is the remote turn on wire on the standard Nissan unit / wiring loom? Are there any pre-outs hiding on the back of the standard unit? If no pre-outs, is the best option to wire in parallel to the rear speakers? Thanks Rob
  9. Pretty sure they do Kenwoods, there was a bit in the instructions that said something about Kenwoods http://www.pac-audio.com/instructions/SWI-ALP.pdf
  10. I will be removing this from my car this weekend, it is set up for a 350Z - Alpine Head Unit but (from memory) it can be used for a host of other cars and stereos to enable aftermarket stereo control from your steering wheel buttons (if you have them!). Was imported from the states earlier this year, been in the car a few months, cost about $70 inc. shipping and another £10 in taxes, so roughly £40 new I think. Any offers?
  11. Open to offers, or they'll be up on eBay this weekend.
  12. Good to hear they arrived OK. Send me a pic when you have them on, always wondered what they would have looked like!!
  13. Nope, assumed it would be more from a UK dealer. Ash tray was £100 from the UK, $47 in the US. Only $100 shipped.
  14. It fitted in the enclosure behind the drivers seat, where the Bose sub is on the GT cars. You can fit it in on its side, raising it off the floor using the supplied feet. Not easy but it fits, and sounds great. With the Bose grill on top you get some good bass! Easy to remove the grill and get to the controls on the sub too as I didn't install the link control bit.
  15. Back up for grabs, previous buyer has not paid and not responded to numerous messages, have tracked the messages so I know he has read them and chosen not to respond, so back up for sale. £60 inc. delivery.
  16. Having sold my car there are various parts which were not included in the agreed sale, one of which was the stereo, the agreement being to return the stero system back to standard spec. So, I will be removing the Infinity Bass Link unit that I put in only a few weeks ago and also replacing the Bose bass speaker panel with the standard panel. The basslink unit is about £100 new on eBay and comes with the wiring I used to wire it to a 350Z, via RCAs to the head unit (to an aftermarket head unit). It fits (on its side) in the enclosure behind the drivers seat and makes a huge difference in non-bose cars. Specs from Infinity Specs from Infinity here To finish it off I ordered a Bose panel from courtesy parts in the US, which only costs about £20, but was closer to £50 when you include the shipping! It is the charcoal colour and is a direct replacement for the stock part in the non-bose car. I am offering the pair together for £90, you must be able to collect or live locally enough that we can work out a place to meet as this is too heavy to ship!
  17. Reduced to £350, just want to get my money back. This is a bargain price for two tyres which are £250+ each normally!
  18. Payment received and reflectors are out in the post!
  19. P.S. Make me an offer...as long as I don't lose money then I'll accept!
  20. I got a good deal on them, was buying new rears and had planned to buy two fronts from a different dealer (the fronts were cheaper from another outlet, the rears cheaper where I got them). Then decided to stick with the Toyos, so didn't buy the front Goodyears, would have bought them when I was replacing the tyres. Got runflats as I damaged a rim on my old car with a blown tyre, didn't want to damage my nice new 19" nismos! You can! Check out MyTyres, go for this size and you'll find them at £266 each!
  21. Yours if I don't hear from and get payment from Chris. Will give him a day or so to get back to me first!
  22. I have two brand new (still stickered) Goodyear Eagle F1 Run Flats. They are 285/35/19 (I am 99% sure - will check this evening). I bought these when I was buying my new Nismos as I was originally looking at selling the Volks with tyres, but decided to sell the rims only and transferred the Toyos over to the Nismos. So these were left over, was keeping them to replace te Toyos when required, but as I am selling my car I won't need these! With the standard rear tyre size being 245/45/18 these tyres will increase your rolling road radius by a mere 0.65 % (a 275/35/19 decreases the rolling road radius by 0.38%). These tyres are over £250 each (£266 on mytyres inc. delivery), will sell individually ONLY if I have a buyer for both tyres! Looking for £350 for the pair, make me an offer. Buyer must be able to collect, tyres are currently in SW11, in a few weeks they will be with me in Essex when I sell my house in SW11, unless bought and collected before then (which is preferable!!)
  23. OK - Car is definitely now for sale, tough decision to make as she is a delight to drive, but while the sensible side of me is winning the argument someone will have the opportunity to buy a well looked after Z. I will post a proper advert later on with a price, once I have worked out how much I could get breaking the car back to stock, how much I have spent etc. etc. Until then, any offers by PM, thanks.
