would anyone who has bought an nismo exhaust say that they were disappointed as it is too quiet and too close to the oem sound ? this is my main concern tia for the replies

yup as phil says , it was on ebay but removed after a complaint So I was doing my usual Ebay trawl to see if there was anything interesting and I came across a listing for 'Nismo V1 Style Bodykit' - I recognised the image immediately.... The same kit I sold to this member two weeks ago - on there at double what he paid for it!!! Now don't get me wrong if he does'nt need it anymore and wants to sell it fair enough, and if he can get more money for it no problem. What I don't appreciate is him using my original images and text!!! So I reported it!? Am I being petty or am I right to do so? Thoughts please

has anyone upgraded their main beam bulbs ? after the xenon you switch to main beam and there is little difference, is it possible that the heat generated from say 100w bulb could damage the xenon ? are they h7 ?

ps. the import notes are very handy tho as that comes up quite often

maybe a lower price is put on the parcel to incurr lower import duty but it seems the the cost is approx £740 ish to get one from the states as it looks as though two people here have paid that so the seller is trying to recoupe all his costs and if bought from him it would cost more than ordering one new from the states yourself as you will need to pay carriage charges now on top it doesnt seem polite to try to guess how bigphil prices a product tbh anyhoo... bottom line is £740 from the states and take the risk or from bigphil............ Nismo exhaust will be £850 plus £15 next day delivery. Will come with 12 month no quibble warranty. Anything goes wrong you get a new one next day as we will be holding some back not for sale just incase. We even collect the damaged goods at our expense and any claims can be settled by providing pictures of the problem. thats what i've looked for a while - figures to compare

WOOHOO !! some facts to work with rather than conjecture thanks bigphil and max

i take it that you have bought one ? and the information you have supplied is correct ? it seemed to me from previous posts from people who have bought one from adam, that was about the total price ? and the seller is trying to recoupe all the costs without loss, which is fair enough it would be handy if someone who has bought one from the states recently could give a total price and if bigphil could put a price forward as iirc he has them in stock this week

Exactly, somebody is basically trying to get 100% of their money back which is fair doo's but i don't think its gonna get sold at that price. Why not its still a good deal is it not?? it would be ok if you live around the corner from the guy selling but if you have to pay to have it delivered then it will cost you more than if you ordered a brand new one yourself

odd my d900 connects and straight away disconnects , i've tried 3 d900's and they all do the same, th bury say it isnt a compatible phone Anyhoo .. off topic

count me in if i can get some kind soul (maybe mike ?) to give me a ring when you get to rhuallt hill and i'll catch you there cheers paul 1. xStric9x 2.

HMM i'm tempted but off Adam - £665.369 plus import duty and bigphil is getting some £740 plus petrol (400 miles) or postage would be at least £800

it doesnt work with all phones, check the compatability list mate holdcroft iirc charge £110 next day delivery

i'm in a similar boat to yourself mate, i want a nismo cat back but i saw a vid on youtube with a cat back and ultimate cats and it sounds awesome also fancy a plenum spacer which adam does , the problem with watching vids of the 350z on youtube is that you never know if they are FI is it anoying with hfc's at motorway speeds ?

if you go near them you can be arrested and they will come back again and again , the law is on their side and they have nothing , so nothing to lose, you will become a game to them , to taunt and wind up !! the law is useless to you i had a similar incident, the policeman told me he had aswell and advised me to move house, which i did

yes but it isnt easy to get out, if your a pie man - foget it !

looks like a rover thats ram raided halfrauds ! ugly

up front it is ,thanks for the advice

:lol: is that real ? if it is then you've got to take your hat off to that !

+1 very

Hmm thats what i thought but i would do the rest anyway so, i'll try it with the bose and if its u/s i'll change the h/u think i'll put the focals in the front and kickers in the rear (i think) , trouble is when you sit there you feel you can only hear the rears and fronts just fill the sound thanks for the input

thats the downside mate, i want to keep the cabin looking oem so i intend to try and get the best out of the bose by improving the speakers and amp i do miss my mp3 headunit which is lounging in the garage atm the bose totally lacks any midrange and is not strong on bass or treble either (the later could be due to the saucers supplied as speakers tho)

i've got a pair of focal polyglass components and i will buy probably a mid range pair of kicker ks speakers where would you advise i fit them focal - front kickers - rear or vice versa , with the rear speakers acting almost as headphones the zed doesnt have a good sound stage, i know i would probably be best running decent front comps (as i have in previous cars) and the sub but i want to still keep the rear speakers i also have a genesis amp which i am going to try and replace the bose one with and dynamat the rear so... any advice on the speakers ? tia Paul i want to put the best speakers in the best position, which should be the front but i'm not sure if they are bit lost in the zed ?

It's easy to spend a fortune for little results. I hope this posts helps you to get effective results. When done right, the engine and exhaust is more audible, and they general driving experience is greatly enhanced. Weight? for all this weighs? if you really that worried, go on a diet and get a thinner bird lol. Your problem areas are the doors, boot floor, and rear quarters. I'll tackle each individually. Materials that are effective. Dynamat extreme - not the std stuff which will peel off in the cold. Effective to stop panel resonance, also good for creating enclosures to make proper seals in cavity's etc. SA25(FR)SA from http://www.soundservice.co.uk/Soundabso ... erials.htm. This self adhesive model is very good at tackling tyre roaring. It can be applied to the boot area, rear quarters, and between the door card and the inner skin. Being foam there is no weight penalty. Noisekiller Lead Sandwich - http://www.noisekiller.co.uk/materials.php. Make a tight fit under mat for your boot carpet. Very effective. Can also be applied under your floor carpet. To the job next. The doors may not seem a big problem, but when you sort the boot and quarters it will become the main one. Use dynamat extreme on the outer skin, but dont over do it. Cut smaller bits and use them to seal up the openings in the door before refitting the plastic sheet. Apply SA25(fr)SA to the inside of the door card where it will allow you to. The quarters, famous nissan problem. Line the arches with a double layer of dynamat extreme, along with a single layer on the outer skin. Fit SA25(FR)SA in double layer over the wheel arch and single layer on the outer skin. If you feel rear adventurous, try using a dyn ext to create a seal for the inner skin leaving a little of the backing where the seat belt does through. Add SA25(fr)SA where it allows on the inside of the cover panel. The boot. Remove the boot panels around the side and stuff all the SA25(fr)SA where ever it allows. Cut some Lead sandwich the same size and shape as the boot carpet (leave it a little big and trim in place) so as it seals the lower boot area. You should now have a very low road noise, so you can hear the excellent exhaust and engine. For those who really want to go to town on this- remove the interior, and fit the lead sandwich to cover the floor, you will have to make a few cut-outs for things. You could even put some under the back seat if you wish. And for the perfectionist, dynamat the inside of the roof skin, believe me this actually makes a difference! as sound radiates through the panels to this one which is closest to your ears. borrowed

i thought you had 5 spokes as in your sig ? wheels transform the Z but they get boring quick a;ways want to try something different nismo's are nice , very oem but a bit safe looking for my liking still toying with a nismo zorst tho
