    Reverse engineering sat nav - need UK disks!

    in JDM imports

    Update -

     

    I'll be mailing copies of the DVD and update disc from an X-trail unit on Monday. If anyone has the absolute latest official 350Z unit discs - they would be a better bet for Mr Dohnuts, but at least we've got himworking on something! :D

    Edited to say - The local super only had single DVD rws so slight delay whilst I source the correct media...

    Import - is this a good deal?

    There is no problem at all with buying an import. Suspect repair work and faked clocks are just as likely with a UK car. Why on earth would only Jap imports be faked?

     

    If I were you I'd not buy from an importer's stock but go to auction and get the colour spec and car you want. It's part of the fun checking out loads of Zs and finding a great one.

     

    For the money you have been quoted you would be able to get almost any Z at auction out there in Japan. I paid just a little more for my mint 800 mile "type G". Check it out here: http://www.bluchip.gg/special_orders.htm

     

    You should also deal with an importer that has a man out there in Japan. www.bluchip.gg do this - have bought 2 cars from them and the service and attention is excellent.

    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.

    :teeth:

    Looking forward to it! Two black Zs stealthing around the island! Well cool. Good to hear you've got an ST - would be good to compare the differences etc. Have you done anything with your JDM stereo?

     

    Sounds like you got a good price there. Mine was a lot more than that but it is a 2006 grade 5 ST "Type G" 1300kms also with the Fujitsubo exhaust. Practically brand new.

     

    Second car from Bluchip - I get on well with them - great fun searching for your ideal car - the guys there just keep looking with you until "the one" turns up. No pressure etc.

     

    Send me a PM when you're next over and we'll have the first Guernsey Z meet. We should get some of the others on the forum to pop over for a summer holiday! :thumbs:

     

    Got any pics of yours?

    thing is... it's not black! IIRC it's similar to brickyard colour, for those who know what a brickyard Z looks like :)

     

    EDIT: the type G is also in black, thought it was only the colour they call "wine" :blush:

     

    Yeah easily mistaken - the official photos from Nissan show off their "Premium Mystic Maroon" which is a 3 coat pearlescent brickyard thing going on. Also comes in pearl black, pearl white and silver. They all have "cabernet" leather.

     

    Cheers for the positive comments everyone! i love my Z :yahoo:

    Did they write a ‘How To’ so we can have some stickers made to place next to the ‘How to fit a golf bag’ instructions/sticker… :teeth:;)

     

     

    Brilliant idea ! Sounds like it's doable then. Will bear it in mind for emergencies. Managed 3 in a smart once. Rather unpleasant ! :thumbdown:
