Struggling to speak to anyone at Nissan that can give me an answer, been put through to about 5 different customer service lines and no one has a clue.

I have a similar problem in my 2009, i've tried 3 aux cables and none of them work at all - no left or right, the connection feels quite loose, any one replaced the aux port?
-
Yes exactly this - any more than 30 mins and it feels like an ache and if it's a long journey the pain stays for ages
-
Thanks, the back isn't too bad for me it's purely the bar on the right and the electric seat bit that just digs in.
-
Yes it seems to be a metal bar on the right and on the left it's the electric seat buttons that dig in. Passenger seats seems less uncomfortable and more padding - mines only done 30k and seats are pretty immaculate. I'll have a look around for an upholsterer to see if they can add padding for a fee that won't make my eyes water

Hi all Does anyone else have a problem with the 370 seats. The metal bars at the side of the seats dig into my hips and it seems there is absolutely no padding on the bars other than the strip of leather. I'm 6'3 and 18st, so I'm not small but haven't had trouble in any other car, including my 350z and a 6 hour journey to Nurburgring in an ftype. Anyone??
-
Had quite a bit of movement even on touch - I've just bought invidia Gemini to replace anyway - should hopefully fix whatever it was. Thanks
-
I think this is the rattling problem - pretty sure there should be jubilee clips holding these together...? https://goo.gl/photos/ceVH5QdDj25Z8RCS9

*** TORQEN *** 350z & 370z Invidia Gemini - IN STOCK
richparks replied to Adrian@TORQEN's topic in TORQEN
You should have messaged Adrian to find out. Hope you haven't wasted £80. To be fair I ordered it after a few beers after watching videos for the past week. I probably wouldn't have ordered until after Christmas without the Dutch courage. Also turns out I bought the 350 version as well. Think I'll keep off the forums on a Friday night.. -
*** TORQEN *** 350z & 370z Invidia Gemini - IN STOCK
richparks replied to Adrian@TORQEN's topic in TORQEN
Just paid £979 must have missed the deal Anyway - is there a way to find out an exact delivery date? (I know it says 5 days) I've got my car booked in at h-dev and this may as well coincide with fitting the exhaust so I'll probably have to move it. -
Yeah it's when i turn sharply or go over a small driveway curb (1 inch) makes a noise but also I can feel it through the steering wheel as if I've hit something. The banging in the middle seems to be a lot better once it's warmed up, it's horrendous on a cold start - hoping it's just something needs tightening
-
Yeah I think it's about the middle - it's actually worse than I first though after driving it yesterday it's louder than the exhaust half the time and it sound like I'm driving a completely broken car

Hi All, I've just purchased a 2009 370 GT Edition, I previously owned a 350z before moving to an E92 M3 and then a 320d (don't ask). I had a quick few questions as I always have when getting into a new car and you start to hear all kinds of different noises. The most pressing concern I have are the noises at low speed - when pulling in and out of the drive etc there is a kind of scraping, but it doesn't look like anything is anywhere near actually scraping the floor. The second is at idle and low revs there is a lot of rattling coming from the exhaust it sounds like and tends to go away when under harder acceleration - unless I just can't hear it over the engine! I've done a few searches and heard a few rattle problems but all seems to be when at 4k revs plus. My first guess would be something is slightly loose and when the exhaust is cold its rattling more than usual and at the low speed i can hear it more clearly + sound bounce back from the side of my house on the drive. The scraping thing I have no idea what it is - is this a common problem? Might just take the car to Horsham, get a service and a general check over for peace of mind.. Thanks,

On autotrader for 15k

Up on Autotrader for 15k í ½í¸ž

Oh wow - I'd have paid 14k easily! Looking for this spec right now
-
I did ask her if it was a joke and she said unfortunately not and then said do you want to proceeds and I said I'm more likely to cancel and said goodbye
-
I have listed it as cosmetic and that seems to be fine. I would happily accept if they would just say they wouldn't pay for it, considering they are charging the same amount as the whole cost of the back box.

Hi All, I have a quick question about insurance and declaring modifications and the specifications of the mods. I have a 350z and the only modification is a scorpion catback exhaust. I didn't even realise it had the exhaust when I bought the car through BMW and insured it without knowing through Churchill for £450. I have just rang them and explained the situation and they are asking me what performance gains it added and the lowest bracket they have is 10% and under. This added a further £349 to my insurance premium, I couldn't tell if she was joking or not. Is there even a performance gain from the exhaust and should I be looking for a new insurer? I am 26, 4 years NCB, live in a very low crime rate area and the car is parked on a gated driveway. Thanks,

Are they the same as a coupe floor matt?
-
As topic says looking for following for a coupe; Boot matt Both floor matts - (Bought) Boot net Metal door kickers - (Bought) Hopefully someone has them for cheaper than new. Cheers
-
One other question I have is, There is a scorpion exhaust fitted atm which sounds quite nice, but I miss the exhaust popping from my 335i is there something I can change in my set up to get that popping back, I drool for it.

I have mainly made this post to try and keep track and maybe put some order into what I am doing with my Zed. I am generally poor at all mechanical and DIY things (too much force, not enough patience). Therefore I will probably go to a few specialists garages such as Horsham and maybe bore them with 50 questions while they work on my car. A lot of the first things I want to do, mainly because I've come from a new BMW 335i is to refresh the look of the car, I had sort of forgotten what it was like to have dated materials such as scratches, paint chips and wear. ALL Pictures are from the same camera and same upload, not sure why some are bigger than others and some are stupidly small - at this moment in time they will do though. 335i pics - just for fun In some maybe possible order: Driver & Passenger Leather seat revive - 50% done Nissan Badges swapped to Z - Done Headlight fogginess removal - Done Interior deep clean and revive - 25% done Window switch door card - Done Rays sprayed black - Door Cubby hole latch scratches Metal kick plates installed - Done Full Service at Horsham P3 Service - Done Full detail - Thinking it may not be worth it until after winter now, or maybe one now and one after winter? Install after market double din head unit Pioneer I'll keep adding to things I want to do because there is more and keep adding pictures for each. Z badge back can't really see it properly but I'm sure you've all seen what a Satin Z badge looks like, thanks Asad. Driver seat - So far i've cleaned and conditioned, The color coded dye is on the way Before: After: The window switch handle is scratched quite badly, i've bought the paint to sort it out but need to figure how to get it out :| i've read posts on the old one but not the facelift. Before: After: Relatively happy with the results, It took me a while with painting because I messed it up a few times and it's not perfect but it's a lot better than the state it was in before Cubby hole scratches: Before: After: TBC Headlight fogg After: Not completely perfect but it looks a lot better, in fact it might be the best thing ive done yet, didn't realise the difference it would make. Handbrake and Gear knob No before, cleaned and conditioned happy with both but gear needs slight dye wear worn.

I think I am if only for peace of mind, how much we talking for all of that?
