Pixellated Posted August 13, 2013 Author Share Posted August 13, 2013 (edited) Ok! Two (minor) problems that in no way detract from the MASSIVE grin on my face during the drive to work this morning . Firstly, my boot doesn't open easily - it's a two-hand job, requires the button being pressed twice, and it weighs as much as the moon (that last bit may not be entirely accurate). I remember reading about a penny trick; can anyone shed any light? Secondly, my OEM sat nav is hideously out of date. I'll most likely use my phone anyway, to be honest, but I'm a bit picky about these things - if I've got the OEM unit, I want to have the most up-to-date maps even if I don't use them much . Obviously I don't want to spend £300 or whatever on an official Nissan update DVD. Have you guys had any experience with the various sites around the web selling cheap update DVDs? I think I also read that you can use the Renault Carminat disks? I'll do a forum search for these, of course, but I figured maybe some of you guys had experience with one or both of these things!

Pixellated Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 Installed my first mod today. It was a big one, guys, you'll be impressed with me. Cost a grand total of... 4p! Yep, that's right, I can now open my boot with one hand. Another difficult project coming up, too - I need a stubby aerial and a tax disc holder!

I have the nismo spoiler as well how did you do that with the boot opening? Edited August 15, 2013 by flamez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixellated Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 I have the nismo spoiler as well how did you do that with the boot opening? Followed this guide: http://www.350z-uk.com/index.php?showtopic=35706 Bear in mind that pennies might break through the plastic cover and damage your paintwork, so some people have used rubber washers instead. Personally, I went with pennies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

embrace Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Hey folks. I pick up my 350Z today, and am ABSURDLY excited. After a pretty poor car history, this is by far the best car I've owned... 1990 Ford Escort 1.3 1999 Renault Clio 1.2 2000 Fiat Punto 1.9 JTD 2004 Honda Civic 1.6 Sport 2008 Seat Altea 2.0 TDI FR I went for a 2006 facelift GT with Nismo body kit (although one of the first things I'll do is get rid of that bloody spoiler and add a more subtle lip) in black. Completely stock, low mileage, and beautiful . Pixel welcome! and im after the nismo spoiler pm me if your selling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
