Just found this picture... i dont even remember taking it! Its a bit different to most of the shots posted so why not...!

I bought my hid's off ebay... they were £27 for the pair incl delivery. You can pay upto £100 each, god knows why! Mine have been in for 9 months now with no problems yet!

On the guide where it says to put your fingers in and pull the shroud up - we cant get our fingers in there cos of the auto thing. so wedge the screwdriver under this part at the front from where the handbrake is and then twist the driver to force the shroud up. Once this is off, you'll have the dark grey auto thing... this is a b!tch to get off but be patient - there are 4 tabs around the outside of it, which you'll need a large flat head screwdriver to lever off. Be careful though, do this slowly as you need to apply A LOT of pressure!

Mines an auto too. Its the same. Use a v.small flat head screwdriver under the plastic part, instead of grabbing it. I've dismantled mine about 15 times without any problem!

wait, wrong diy... i meant this one - direct link instead. http://liljerk.morpheus.net/350Z/dash_removal/ My tip is to use a very small flat headed screwdriver under the trim, at the part where it says to pull up with your hands...

Yes mate, dead easy. See a guide i linked to in this diy: viewtopic.php?f=53&t=21147&hilit=paddle+shift&start=0

Fair one. I had mine db tested though and it only came in at 98.5 with a pop charger as well, but better safe than sorry.

Whats up, is it too loud for you?? paypal me at marzman@ntlworld.com as payment owed, and i'll get them in the post tomorrow mate. Will still post the pic tonight so you can see.

Ouch this is bad! I'd be panicking. DONT tie string around a magnet and use that ... you know the string will come undone and you'll drop the magnet in too!

Hey, This may be some kind of sacrilege part, but when i bought my K1 the previous owner had had some inner bungs custom made to try to quieten it down a bit! They bolt on between the mid-section and the rear cans. They're good quality (i.e. heavy ) and look well made. I never fitted them myself when i had the exhaust, and forgot to include them when i sold the K1 on a few months ago... The guy i got them from said they made a difference, but not enough to stop him selling it... so maybe worth a punt for someone? I'll post a picture when im at home tonight. All i ask is for a tenner via paypal, to cover P&P which'll probably be around £8 due to the weight.

WTF? I thought they were extinct I've not seen one since i was about 12.

I'd rather eat my car than put my face near Ian's kit... Does that work?

Hi Neo, I actually did a search before i posted this topic to see if i'd mentioned it already, and i had - and you'd replied which i'd not seen. So i was looking at your ultimarc link last night and it may prove very useful - the ipaq sounds ideal!

Welcome pal. Love the sunsets with the nismo kit.

Hey Rich, Yeh that'd be fantastic when i get round to it! I looked at doing acrylic but wouldnt be able to drill it, but laser cutting Cheers Rich!

He didnt mention brightness... he said they dont look as good.

Standard zed D2R's are 4300k i think... maybe thats why they dont look as good as your old 6000k? I cant remember if i've got 6000k or 8000k in mine, but they look ace!

Sounds like a very good price...! Have you used them before?

I went to the nissan dealer in Macclesfield in Sept 07 asking about used models. I sat down with the manager and asked him all about them. I was fully read clued up with the known zed issues and questioned him about them, and he denied all knowledge. Then, after about 10mins he told me wouldnt be able to afford a zed, i was too young for one, and i should look for something more suitable for my age group... a few voices were raised at this point and i told him i'll bring my zed round and get him to wash it for me when i get one next month! Lo and behold, 3 weeks later i got one - but i never went back. Ten they shut down last year!

It was the A-team van i posted...! Its worth watching the video if you can, just for the grooms reaction!

Hey all, I thought i'd post this here as i know how much we all like build projects, even thought its totally not car related! In June i decided to build myself an arcade machine, to keep me from tinkering with my car! I always have to be working on a project of some sort as i get bored very easily! I've only spent 2 days working on this so far... one in June and this Sunday just gone... I was originally going to use an old 15" CRT monitor i took from work but it was too small, so i've been looking for a 19" LCD - and i got one on saturday for 50quid - so the building starts again! I bought some USB arcade sticks off eBay and dismantled them, and am currently custom mounting them in MDF... However im not happy with the quality of the buttons/stick, so after i've finished the build i'll probably revisit this area and look at professional quality parts. I've got a PC in there and will also be including a sega dreamcast (awesome for arcade games!), and will be doing neat touches like ccfl lights etc on it...! The downside though... its probably cost me £150 already for the monitor, sticks and wood... i didnt pay for the PC or dreamcast etc... and there's still a lot to go! See the pics below. Oh, and if anyone has any suggestions for good additions to it, then please shout up! Updated 31st Aug 2009 - Almost finished!! And a quick video:

Done.

Welcome home mate, how long have you been away? Well deserved break i take it?

No way...! Until they get all the chris bangle influences out of thier lineup im staying well away!! They're all hideous with the exception of the outgoing 5-series. The X6 is ok i guess, but i dont think it has anywhere near the same appeal as a Range Rover Sport. The e46 shape was the last of the hot bmw's... IMHO.

Yeh im pretty sure you can buy blank keys for about £35 off ebay... then get it cut, then get the dealer to recode it...? I might be talking crap though. It wouldnt be the first time.
