I also maybe being a fool but is there a way to know exactly what Bose radio I have? Trying to buy the leads off incartech but not 100% sure which is the right one.

Thanks a lot for this guys, I feel a lot more comfortable now. There are so many things to do/want to do that I spend my days on here trying to do them all at once and confusing myself. I think the brake problem is more than just Brembo's, it's at all speeds and its consistent, I will keep them like it for a few more weeks and then if nothing changes get them greased. I have also ordered some dye for my seats which I'm already happy with the changes. Next up are the headlights that are heavily fogged as well as re-spraying to the door trim. Maybe I will make a build thread, purely to keep track of it myself!

Hi Guys, Has anyone on this forum installed this and how good is it? I'm looking to use it for bluetooth calls/music as well as google maps for satnav when required. I am wary that I don't have the ability to install this myself is there any services near reading that would be able to fit this for a fee? Thanks

Hi do you have a picture of the Mats, condition wise? I'm based in reading

That really helps thanks, I am relatively close to Horsham Developments so I think that will be the place! It does have a service history but the last 3 are from halfords and just say full service so no idea what they actually did!

Hi Guys, I have finally got my 350z in my possession. I currently have a list of things that I am not sure are wrong with the car or what I should do in relation listed below; Clutch: The clutch biting point seems quite high and 1st seems to not pull off that smooth and it judders a lot into second gear, every other gear is fine. (I was told by a mechanic it felt too high) I could also just be a terrible driver coming from BMW dual clutch. Engine Idle: When the car is relatively cold it seems to be fine, once at normal temperatures or after turning the car on after a ~10/15 minute drive the idle sits at like 800/750 and then consistently drops lower sounding like the car is going to stall? - Any info on what this could mean or if its normal that would be great. Brakes: The brakes are horrendously squeaky, I have had them looked at and the wear is fine on all of them and also even. I've been told its likely to be very cheap brakes or they need copper grease. Any other possibilities on this would be grateful. Looking at possibly moving to ceramic brake pads because the dust is also horrendous from these brakes. (Not even sure if you can just use ceramic brakes on normal brake discs.) Paint: There are tiny bubbles in the paint work all along the small spoiler as well as little stone chips. Are these bubbles normal or has someone burnt the paint or something? There also seems to be a few small corrosion bubbles on the paintwork. Leather: The burnt orange leather drivers seat was dirty as hell and worn. I've used Leather clean and condition from turtle wax and I also got a gliptone kit which arrived today. The turtlewax cleaned it pretty nicely and I was happy with the instant results. There is a red spot which I assumed was a mark but now I have started cleaning it more heavily some red is starting to come through where I think its now too worn near the crotch area. Is there somewhere to re-dye this leather and is it red underneath? So far I've notified BMW about the problems with the car but there's quite a high chance they won't do anything about the problems because they all passed a warranty check and warranty doesn't cover wear and tear. Apologies if i'm sounding like a total noob but in the past I've just had relatively expensive BMW's and nothing went wrong and it was all dealt with by them. I wanted to change that and have a project with the Zed but I am still relatively ill-knowledged when it comes to in-depth mechanics and moving from the 335 it feels like things are braking like loud noises of gear changes at low speeds but I have no idea if that's just normal or not. Any insight/expeirences would really be appreciated.

I used to work at KBIS in peasemore about 2 minutes away from them, sounds good.

Based in Reading so fleet isn't far?

Tell me about it, when trading my 335i in, the only way I could get a good price is buying another car from them and luckily they had just received the Z and it was the only one on their books and they never usually stock Nissan and it was near exactly what I was looking for but didn't get much choice is anything else

Hi Guys, I've just received the log for my new Zed, attached is a picture of it - I have been going by P1-3 however a lot of these services do not specify. Is there a P3 missing or would this be under the Major or Full?

I'm happy to pay to get it done, I just don't know where to get it done! - I assumed it would be a lot easier to find somewhere to get it done?!

Anyone? I'm struggling to find anything other than people the refurb...I've never had my wheels painted thought it would be extremely easy to find somewhere

I've tried the search function, it constantly finds 100's of topic's not relevant. I've also searched and found things on other z forums but I was looking to speak with someone who has actually done it or an up to date guide.

Hi Guys, Just wondering if any of you have done anything to your key. I know a lot of you would think this should be the least of my worries, but honestly that key is the ugliest damn thing ive ever seen, its not even a standard ugly key. It's something out of the 60's. I've seen a few things around the internet but not sure if anyone has done a guide. I am not the most gifted technician but a quick learner. So either a guide of anyone that has done it or anyone that could do it for a fee. Cheers

I also think they look good, just not sure where to get them done which is relatively close.

Looking to get my standard 18" Ray blacked out, was wondering if anyone had a recommendation in the Berkshire area and what type they would go for against an Ebisu black 350z. Thanks

This sounds good..? How easy is that to install. I've seen a few posts around but seem to be old and a lot of modifying required.

Ok I didn't realise, assumed because it's coming back from BMW that it would all be stock, happy if it isn't though. Have many of you changed the front reflectors, not really keen on the orange.

Any idea's on what you would do first are welcomed because I don't know where to start, those tailpipes look pretty beat up at the moment

Thats the one, isn't look as nice at the moment!
