  1. To be honest trying to solder onto all 4 of them terminals would put me off big time tbh, I struggled just onto 2 pins, they are literally 1mm apart and trying not to get the solder a cross 2 pins would be so hard. Apart from that it was ok doing the job, ordered new dials from the USA and the LEDs were dirt cheap might of cost about £150 max and a days worth of soldering. Didn't need to do the stereo though.
  2. yeah on the main circuit board! under each existing led wads 4 solder points apparently 3 were - and 1 was +, so i had to move the led's up slightly so that i wound only connect onto 1+ and 1- if that helps.but where there were 4 little metal squares to solder to i think when i removed an old led i scrapped the more accidently and took the matal square ( sort of like foil) straight off the board but thought that it will connect via a pin of somekind onto the circuit board, just wierd that they work alot of the time thats all.
  3. also the led's recomended for some reason were only 2 pin + and - where as the existing were 1+ and 3-, visually everything looks good, cant see and shorts or any broken solder.
  4. no i didnt, the guide i was going by gave me exact led part numbers that work and said only change the resistors if you require a higher light output, now you have said that i do recall when i was unsoldering the existing ones i did take out one of the legs that id need to solder back onto by accident, but i assumed the solder would creep into the circuit board and make a good enough contact. would that nmake them all go out though
  5. hi, recenlty changed all the led's in my interior to white ones (which looks awesome) ok my soldering skills arent amazing but majority of them work great, only ones giving me grief are the ones in the oil pressure gauge in the center pod, they start up fine but after maybe 20 or 30 mins of driving all the leds in that pod go out even the red one i didnt change which lights up the needle, could this be because they run in series and if one end isnt correctly soldered they all go out or do you think something has a thermal cut out which is why they only go out after a certian time. if i turn the ignition off and back on again it will still be out, its usually the next day i notice they are back up running ok cheers dazzer
  6. Hi everyone. ive been changing the LED's in the gauges to nice white ones to get rid of that horrible orange glow, i had to order new faces so that the new colour would shine through. i got these from blackcatcustoms.com and look great, only problem im having is getting the needle to read the correct speed. mine is a jap import so had the 0-180km dials in but worked in mph if you know what i mean. when i ordred my new dials i just ordered the uk 0-180mph as i thought they should be exact the same and at the same time i get rid of the km on my dial. now i synced the needle at 30mph according to my digital display but when i get a bit faster it starts going out by quite a bit, ive thrown my old dials away so i cant see if the 0 and 180 lines are in the exact same place im waiting for blackcatcustoms to get back to me on that one, but what im wandering is if there are companys that can sync you dials to the correct speed, im guessing so as something must had been done to change it from km, to mph, just not sure if thats just a flick of a switch somewhere though to go between mph and km, mine will need adjusting abit differently to that. hope you can help. cheers
  7. went to order 1 yesterday and apparently all 6 have gone already due to this post, getting some more stock in this week though.
  8. the only problem im having is that the only way the price will come down is if all the bonnets get shipped to 1 address, but its not like im getting sent 100 gear knobs that people can pick up, not many people have the transport to collect a bonnet meaning that they have to pay an additional shipping charge to get the bonnet to their house. ive never bought off a group buy let alone ran 1, so if someone wants to jump in and take over be my guest, just ensure my name goes top of the list
  9. as mensioned in previous posts there was alot of interest in the facelift bonnets, does any of the traders have the capabilities of making a group buy happen.
  10. u could be right, i just searched for 350z wallpapers and this was 1 of them
  11. bulges look so much better, ive seen these bonets without the bulge but cant seem to find them with it.
  12. i need an areosync one they seem the way to go.
  13. plenty of you guys have got them, how much did you pay for them and where did you get them from, seems to be a top secret subject, nobody likes replicas but you cant apparently get genuine ones anymore, you must of got them from somewhere!
  14. ok i might just try a quick reset, didnt know u could do that just read how, i drive it in manual kind of mode so shouldnt be a gear change. cheers guys
  15. hi guys, i have an auto and when ive got my foot flat to the floor say after i have just turned into a road in 2nd or sometimes 3rd, the car seems a lil sluggish then all of a sudden once i hit about 3000-3500rpm its like i have a turbo on board and i get a massive boost of power and other times i dont , has anybody else had this problem??? will having that plenum spacer fitted maybe help this problem, it has been serviced and has not helped in anyway. cheers
  16. dont suppose u know of any websites that have a good name for themselves that will do a half decent 1 do ya???
  17. just after the above but key bit is a good fit. please let me know if u have 1 or can get ya hands on one. cheers
  18. does anybody know where does a good fit, found plenty of sites that sell them but u never know how good the fit is, would like a recomendation from someone if poss. cheers guys
