So just had a call back from Nissan,

Clutch - £609 Retail (they said they could do it £470) +VAT

Flywheel - £973 Retail (they said they could do it £860) +VAT

So looks like ill be getting an Exedy kit from you soon Alex

Fitting at Nissan wasn't too bad, they said 3-4 hours @ £90 per hour but any other recommendations are welcome.

Has anyone used Mr Clutch before?

Cheers guys, any recommendations for garages to fit the clutch, don't fancy doing it myself!

Oh by the way I just checked with Mr Clutch, they said £499, seems reasonable to me however i'd be sceptical of the quality of the clutch as I was expecting more like £600-800 if not more.

edit: My bad, this is £499 for the clutch kit not inc labour.

Hey guys,

I could do with some advice on clutches and clutch replacement.

I recently brought myself a GT4 350Z fairly cheap knowing the clutch was on the way out.

This morning I noticed its starting to slip and thought it might be worth getting it changed.

All I've done so far is to ring my local Nissan dealer and try and get a price however their parts department was busy so Im waiting for them to ring me back with a price for the parts and labour.

Anyway while I wait I thought I'd ask you guys:

• Is it worth looking at after market clutches rather than a Nissan replacement?

• If yes to the above, what manufacturers are worth looking at?

• Can anyone recommend a clutch fitter near Luton/Dunstable that's not Universal Clutches as I had a bad experience with them when they changed the clutch on my MR2.

Cheers guys that's a big help!

I've ordered this parts and ill probably put pics up once its all in place.

Hi all,

Hoping you can help me out. I picked up my 350Z only the other day knowing the CD player in the bose head unit was a little temperamental.

I had a quick look at this Pioneer AppRadio (http://www.pioneer.eu/uk/products/25/29 ... index.html) as I really like the idea of connecting my android phone to it so I can use the maps on it. However I wasn't sure if the steering wheel controls will still work?

I've been reading the guides on here about what cables ill need but I am struggling to find exactly what I need!

First things first, here is a picture of the back of the head unit (thanks pioneer)

So it has two RCA outs and an RC in, so I assume, providing I get the right leads, be able to connect the wheel controls and bose speakers.

What I found so far was this (http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/ict-29- ... aptor.html) which should make the controls work.

And this (http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/cel-ais ... o-rca.html) which should let me connect the head unit to the speakers.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. Ive changed head units before but I'm no expert and I'm new to the 350Z's!

Also any suggestions for alternative head units very welcome!

Thank!
