  1. Shxx mine have been stuck at the post office for the last 24 hrs as they were "too big for the letter box" so I havnt got much time to fit them, got a wedding at 1 also :thumbdown:

     

    Dont worry, my first ones were delayed as well, and went on okay - just dont leave it too long ;) (certainly not 2 weeks! lol)

  2. and for those that have recently purchased, make sure you fit them within 48hrs of receiving, as they are treated with a chemical prior to dispatch to allow them to stretch. A friend of mine waited two weeks before fitting and he had a nightmare stretching around contours (even though applying heat did help)!!

  3. Watching police interceptors on 5 now and the cops have just pulled someone for tinted lights :scare: . They said it was illegal typical as iv just bought some :thumbdown:

     

    Lol I just watched that on 5 and was thinking the exact same thing! Hopefully these ones are okay though and not like the black paint used on that lads car!

     

    Funny that..was going to say the same thing. Just watched Interceptor on Five.

     

    Like I said earlier, FlyEye kit is road legal and meets MOT standards etc - its all about the amount of light that passes through and as you can see from my night pics they are pretty good. These arent traditional film or paint tints!

  4. I'm still waiting for for bits to arrive, so in the meantime I thought I would have a play with Centrafuse. Had a play with skins - its actually a lot easier than I thought...

     

    Here is CF3 normal skin

    Here is a skin called Aqua which I modified with the Zed logo:

    (the green circle around the logo indicated I have internet access :teeth: )

    I have also download some open source Front End software called 'Ride Runner' (formally known as Road Runner) - it is very configurable, and being open source its free! I will post pics of it when I have had a proper play.

     

    I cant wait to get all this installed in the car now :D

  5. Bear in mind whatever wiring you draw power from wasn't designed for that and the fuse protecting this wiring may well blow frequently. The only source in the car I would use for additional units would be the cig lighter as this won't impact anything else if it blows. But for your application, drawing a new line through the car is the way to do this in conjunction with an appropriate fuse. Either work out what current draw your unit takes and consult a wire size chart to choose the appropriate gauge, or overspec the wire if you are unsure. The former is always preferable. Volt drop shouldn't be a huge issue over such a short distance.

     

    As much as I hate the thought or having to do it, I think you are right, I need to create a new line from the battery with inline fuses - I'm just not looking forward to running through the firewall :surrender:

     

    Current draw will be small, its only an Atom processor in the PC - current draw should be low enough to be in-sleep mode all the time its not in use, without having to shut down the PC - hence I need an 'always live' feed. The screen with be on a different circuit, and will only come on with ignition etc.

  6. Hello, I have read on many forums (even a US 350z Manual - http://www.courtesyparts.com/nissan-man ... n-350Z.pdf - Page 109)

    that it is possible to open the windows from the key fob.

     

    Is this possible on the UK models? I have an 05 Roadster and cannot for the life of me make those windows move.

    The theory is push and hold the unlock button on the key fob, seems easy enough....

    Also is it possible to get a remote roof open/close? and more importantly... remote engine start???

     

    Thanks for any help!

     

    Remote start is certainly possible and something I am looking into at the moment. The obvious benefits of would be warming up the car on a cold day, or even cooling a car down on a hot day. I will post more as I look into it

  7. love the headlamps....i ve had the rears tinted for some time on mine now but

    you have my intrestedin the fronts.

    are you going to tint the rear bumper lights as well.?

     

    Yep - I am going to do the bumper lights as well (Indicators)

  8. I did the fronts this afternoon - I am really happy with the results...

    I guess its a 'marmite thing' - I can see that some regard this as a bit chavvy - but I think it looks CLASS!
