Probably not the same thing but when my cruise control stop working it was intermittent and was due to my clutch going. I could set a speed but if I tried to up the speed with the switch or use the switch to return to the previous speed after slowing down it would cut out.

For the wipers there are plenty of threads on here http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/74417-windscreen-wiper-arms-respray/ I used halfords grey primer and satin black. The more thin layers the better, but if you put loads of layers on its best to wet send more often. Think I probably used 4 primer coats and 4 paint coats with no clear coat. Some of mine has chipped off (only very small parts) but it was the first time I'd sprayed anything and I did it in an unheated garage in the middle of winter so the prep wasn't the best. I've not seen any decent threads on spraying the centre console that contain 'after' pictures. I've got a few small marks on mine, I was going to try touching up the ones that are hardly visible with a range of grey marker pens over the weekend. Not expecting amazing results just trying to make them marks less visible. I'll take some shots along the way.

Just goes to show the 350z is becoming the new Nova.

It was the ace cafe meet, check out the Incarnation thread. Are you Brighton based?

From what I've heard you're not allowed to have a stubby in public in Dubai.

The cubby hole isn't your problem, the screws in the cubby hole hold the centre console to the car, you've got round that problem. already. The stereo is held in to the centre console via 4 screws in the side, Its best to get the whole console out then undo the screws, but you can do it by leavering it forward. The thing I had issue with was getting the the metal feet (shown at the bottom of this picture) out from behind the white plastic thing. I had taken out the screws that go into the holes but it was still hard to get out. I think you've got the same problem. You need to loosen the screws that hold the white box in to give you more wiggle room. I think you need to play around with these screws. Each picture is from a different model US at the top, UK (non HR) at the bottom. Hopefully yours is similar. http://www.350z-uk.com/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=5451

This from America but it looks like a HR, 2 screw on top. Full guide: http://liljerk.morph...Z/dash_removal/

As there are no number stages in the OP, do you mean the top picture or the bottom picture attached below (presume its the bottom!)? I've not got a HR so can't confirm if you should have the screws but this guide didn't come from a HR. When you try to pull it out can you tell where its catching. The probelm I ahd with mine was getting the the unit round the white plastic box at the bottom.

*SOLD* Door Handles £60 for the pair Wing Mirrors £90 each - NOTE the Mirrors are cracked (because I'm an idiot!) hence the price. The motors in the casing work fine and the actual casing is in good condition. Couple of paint chips on this side, surface is actually quite smooth so would require minimal sanding (if any) before respray. If you just the need the surrounds and your mirrors are fine you can just use your own mirrors. Other options are for OEM replacements (£41.50, last time I checked), or take the broken mirrors to a glass shop and get them to cut you some new mirrors to fit the back plate, it'll probably be half the price but they may not be able to provide ones with a heating element. *SOLD* Passenger side door pull £20 I tried to polish out the scratches on mine it worked but looked too shiny. Its next to impossible to get back to a brushed aluminium look unless you have a professional set up. I just opted to paint my polished one gloss black and think it looks a lot better than OEM anyway. I should probably get round to starting to a build thread, but if you want a photo of how mine looks now I can get you one. Payment by paypal or bank transfer (PM me), price includes delivery. Alternatively you can pick up from central Brighton and knock a few quid off. See my build thread for what I did with my spare set (link in signature)

Hi, just to say finally got mine working today, its only been like 6 months or something! It was only my third attempt though. The only wire I couldn't check without removing the door panel was the one behind the speaker and that's where the issue was. If it helps anyone else trouble shoot: after the first install my mirror open and close switch reversed but the auto fold didn't do anything, so I just left it as it was too cold to mess around. The next attempt I just re-checked the connections that I could get at through the arm rest, this was all of them bar the splice behind the speaker. After this attempt the open and close was still reversed and the auto fold still didn't work. I did however notice that I could hear the auto fold black box clicking when the auto fold function should have kicked in. So it just looked like the signal just wasn't getting to the mirrors. This time I had the door panel off for some other work so I thought I'd check the connection behind the speaker and after clamping down the splice a bit harder, it now works fine, the open close button is still reversed but that doesn't have any real impact on use. After re-checking the connection I did make sure that the wire wasn't touching the magnet on the back of the speaker, but don't think this would have interfered the signal anyway. Thanks Flyboy.

Nope

Oh my god now the car won't start! The drivers side window works, but when it gets to be top if I hold he witch down it starts clicking like crazy. If I try to turn the engine on the car won't start!

Haven't touched the driver side and the passenger switch on the drivers side does nothing either. Is there a way to manually wind the window up?

I've just replaceded my door handle and mirror on the passenger side but had my window down whilst doing it. Just finished and now my window won't go back up! Help!!!!

And quite a few of you are coming to visit me in Brighton this weekend. Say no more

Welcome to the forum, what's going on with the number plate in this photo? Tiny! I don't think many people will have your gearstick, always good to be unique. If it's a silver zed it'll probably have a black roof/wing mirror/door handle combo before too long.

Unless you've parked under a tree a quick rinse should get you back to where ever you were before.

I'm stuck, I've got a spare set of wing mirrors I'm going to paint up, but can't figure out how to get the mirrors out. There are some guides here: http://www.350z-uk.c...e-mirror-cover/ I've popped the white nobbly bits with the black rubber surrounds but the mirror still wont come out. It feels like the bigger white circular part is still attached somehow. Stole this pic from Kyser, but I think I'm at the stage where the white nobbly bits have come off the mirror moves around the centrepoint freely but I can't get it out of the mirror surround. *** EDIT*** As always,figured it out just after posting (but also just after cracking the mirror ). I thought the mirror came off with the piece above still attached but it doesn't.

Using Halford grey primer, how long do I leave before I sand it down and should I wet/dry sand? Thanks.

Sounds cheap! fairly sure my excess is more like £250. The side windows are the worst! Maybe I should go glassless and wear goggles. This is my first car only had it 6 months so at least I haven't got a no claims bonus to loose.

My windows have loads of light vertical scratches in them, I've cleaned out the door seals to try to prevent them deepening, but i want to try to polish them out. My windscreen also has tons of little chips which are only really noticeable when driving into the sun, but when I hit a sunny patch its pretty distracting. So I want to try to polish them out. What pads/compounds would you recommend? ​Should I just get a professional to do it, if so what would be the expected cost?

Pictures were not working on my Nexus but they look fine on my PC, could do with a few close ups!

Might not help, but I couldn't get the strut off the ball joint so I just snapped the ball joint and then untwisted the nut by hand. I'm not Hercules, the nut was loose.

I'm guessing the 4s was your girlfriends?
