I'd love to try out all of the trusted guys that frequent this forum, but obviously closer is better. I`ll investigate Envy, thanks chaps. BTW - do any forum members work there?

Now that ESR have unhappily ceased trading, where do I take my Z for mods and servicing in the Newcastle area? I`ll need a P3 in a few months, my ancillary belt has some cracks in it and a new clutch can't be far off...

Fuse number 6 had an invisible break. Thanks matey, you saved me from a mental meltdown Now my MP3 player plays perfectly thought the bose. Brilliant

Success, sort of. Putting the block back together meant that some wires touched each other - it was unavoidable really. The result was a blown fuse which I located in a block by the battery and replaced. There is another fuse blown somewhere which controls the power to the radio and the power to the instrument panel and digital pod (or two fuses?). I have crawled all over the car with a torch but can't find them - only a fuse block near the drivers feet but they are all intact. I have seen a thread which talks of a fabled 3rd fuse, but where is it? Oh yes, and by the way, my tape button doesn't *click* like the CD and Radio buttons, is this normal or is it broken? It doesn't seem to be depressed any further than the other two?

It's a helpful post, but I'm still not 100% confident. Fingers crossed!

Thanks for the link :) Urm.. so it is an M40 connector, but is it the '350Z Wiring Harness Connector' that is the correct one? The other one (ISO connector) has different colours.

That would be a life-saver! There is a long trip to the Lakes to visit the rellies tomorrow. I think it is the Audio Unit Connector, B53 according tot he manual. I daren't muck about with it as there is a live feed or two and if I get it wrong is is Bose toast time

Need some help here guys... After an carefully engineered iRiver Xmas pressie I have used the holiday break to take out the console and add a MP3 cable to the Bose. I followed the excellent guide on my350z.com (shoudl be a sticky on here, maybe?) http://my350z.com/forum/4292171-post98.html I also do the trick with to prevent a tape needing to be inserted. http://my350z.com/forum/4764747-post103.html Everything went very well except the *BIG* problem! The main wiring plug (the largest of the three connectors) into the back of the Bose exploded apart on refitting. The Bose is a warranty replacement so I guess the monkey that fitted it broke the plug. Although I can put it back together again I don't know which wire goes in which hole! The colours of the wires is not clear in the guide and in any case seem to be different to mine. Has anyone got a good picture of the wires going into the back of a UK Bose (my Z is an 04 if it matters)? Failing that, can anyone tell me which colour wire goes in which hole in the plug!

Yes, it does do that doesn't it. You need to keep out of cruising at the 2.5 tio 2.75K rev range - not always easy. Still, it's a good excuse to drop a cog and boot it a bit

The 5zigen is definitely louder than the Nismo! Not a good choice if you want something quiet

Um, apart from being shiny, what is it? Dur, the clue is in the thread title , although it looks like a real groin stabber of you put that in your pocket!

Tsk, is that all

Forgotten what I have - let's see...

I wouldn't let thsi affect your opinions if Nissans. Generally they are very good and thsi sort of problem could happen with any car - and usually does, much more frequently!

Always courteous, always helpful, the best advice, great mechanics - and fast too - good stock, good service. There is nothing more you could want from a company and it is a sad, sad day that you and the Z community is losing ESR. The best wishes to you all for the future.

Only in America could someone come up with this excuse. +1

My 'half' setting is quite warm but the 'full' setting doesn't get much better. It is like it cuts out as it thinks it is too hot. Is there a safety cut-off in the circuit? Maybe it's faulty (on the safe side) but can be replaced to allow the seat to burn my ass?

Hi Andrew, What a shock and so sorry that you shoudl all have to go through something so dreadful. Best wishes, sincerely meant, for Phil. Phil really has always been more than a trader, he has been a friend to us all. Do keep us informed as much as you are able. Chris

Leeds to Phil takes 1h:40m. Phil will fit whilst you wait and give you coffee and a biccie

I`ve had lots of high mileage V6 engines. A V6 is so much better designed to keep strong for high miles (one of the reasons I buy V6 cars). My old Alfa V6 recently died at just over 250K miles from a cambelt failure, not the actual engine internals. If an Alfa can get to 250K and beyond then a Z can to! Aas has been said, so long as the service history is good and all the consumables have been replaced then don't be put of by high mileage. It is just a way to get a cheaper car.

I drove a Yugo van for work once. They literally gave us two of them ' to get them seen on the street'. Odd little tin boxes, the engines only had three crank bearings which saved money but meant they both blew up just after 40K miles

Yep, that's him And I though brushing the cat once a month was a pain...

What a sad life the contributors to that site lead.
