Congrats/commiserations. It looks fantastic! In a little better condition than mine. I couldn't get the original wheel colour matched when I had them redone ~5 years ago and yours look so much nicer. Now mine needs a new coat of paint and the wheels refurb-ing again. I'll try and get it booked in and take some photos. It sure is fun to drive though (hadn't driven it all pandemic).

I have a 350Z GT4 manual with factory fitted Nismo body kit. It's done ~110k and been off the road for the past 2 years. Never been in an accident. It's currently undergoing MoT and Service before I sell. A few things have been done over the years: - Invidia Gemini Cat-Back Exhaust - Rolled Stainless Steel Tip - Berk High Flow Cats (passes emissions tests) - JWT Popcharger - Torqen Aluminium undertray - 380RS Pedal - Braided brake lines - Sony Android Auto/Apple Car Play head unit (original included) - Emergency brake flasher - Auto closing passenger window (imported from Japan) - New temperature control module (2019) - Bonnet Dampers - Spare battery - Uprated rear boot struts - Uprated boot poppers - Boot Cargo Net - Black badges - Only 1 key. But it's a flip key (modified by someone on here). The attached photo is a few years old. I'll take more and list it when I get it back from the garage. Let me know if you're interested.

I have a Kuro GT4 that I have just put back on the road to sell (110k miles). Currently in the garage having a service and MoT. The howmanyleft site seems to show there are a lot still left! I would have expected more to be SORN during the pandemic.

Ordered a pair! Let's hope they work. I tried adding plastic washers to mine and it made a little difference but still not enough with the spoiler weight.

Flat battery and door lock stuck. Suggestions?
craigmdennis replied to craigmdennis's topic in Bodywork
Thanks! I managed to unstick the door by banging on it like a mad man. Now I can buy a new battery and then take off the door card and replace the actuator (or just clean the mechanism). -
I have a bit of a challenge. My battery is flat AND the lock mechanism on the drivers side has failed (so turning the key does nothing). The door lock has failed before and I've managed to open it by winding the window down and putting a rod down. But now the passenger side won't open because the battery is flat, I'm not sure what to do. Can I pop the bonnet without using the release under the steering wheel? Any and all ideas welcome.

Flyboy-Mirror Auto Fold Module - GROUP BUY 2017
craigmdennis replied to flyboy's topic in Member Traders
I fitted mine over the weekend and it took about 45 mins (me being cautious... but also me having to take everything apart again because I didn't test enough). Instructions were very clear and the only challenge was connecting to the cable behind the door speaker. I have a 2005 GT4 DE and the wire colours in the instructions matched exactly. Here it is working A couple of things to note: Be careful with the grey wires as there's a thick and a thin. Follow the instructions and double check. The recommended place to mount the box (behind a cable) caused the connector to get pushed out slightly when the door panel went back on... so it worked when I tested it and not when the door panel went back on (and I'd screwed everything back together). So just be careful to orient the connector away from the cable. And instead of poking a hole through the paper gromet, I had a more robust rubber one that fit so used that. -
Flyboy-Mirror Auto Fold Module - GROUP BUY 2017

Awesome @cs2000! Received today and has everything I need. Looking forward to fitting them. This thread has been going a long time so I'm glad the torch has been passed and we're actually getting some of these things in our hands. -
Flyboy-Mirror Auto Fold Module - GROUP BUY 2017

I'll take one please. It might be be easier to use Google Forms or something? -
I've just replaced the standard set with some that have the passenger auto-up/down switches and so have a set of original 2005 window switches up for grabs. I'm not sure which years they will fit (all of them?). They're in good condition (if a little faded). Paid $70US for the new set, plus £18 import tax so offers close to £60 would be ideal.

I tried this yesterday but the car won't start, just turns over. I assume this means the immobiliser isn't reading the transponder in the new key Swapped back to the old key and all fine.

Looks tidy. I wish I'd thought to do this when I had some body work repaired. Instead I opted for black badges.

Anti dazzle (auto dimming) mirror fitted, guide soon...
craigmdennis replied to MDMetal's topic in I.C.E & Electronics
I did this today but have a mirror with a compass (why not) which needed calibrating. 1. Press and hold the power button until a number is shown. This is the compass zone. 2. Press the power button to increment the number to 9. This is the zone for the UK 3. Press and hold the power button until a C is shown. 4. Now find a safe place and drive in a circle The mirror will automatically show the direction when it's finished calibrating. -
I did the same research you're doing. It's expensive but boy does it sound good. I actually said to a friend that my new exhaust was quieter but more refined. Less "boy racer". There are a few videos on YouTube showing the Gemini with HFCs. Drive-bys and Dyno runs.

If you stick with non-resonated you should be fine. I've got the Invidia Gemini (resonated) and it's quieter than my previous (Buddy Club) cat back but sounds more refined. No experience with Cobra though. I also have high flow cats. Even the OEM system should sound better (louder) if you have HFCs.
