  1. Bit outdated, but just came across this http://metro.co.uk/2016/07/14/driver-pulled-over-for-wearing-headlamp-because-headlights-werent-working-6006384/ (Hopefully not a repost, did search for "headlights" and "headlamp" in this subforum and nothing showed up.)
  2. You looking for footwell lights? I've done it and written a bit about it here - http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/104706-gm-2004-build-thread/#entry1573425 I wired it directly into the dome lights, but some people say you shouldn't do that as apparently you could blow the BCM. I've not had any issues though.
  3. Dunno what route you're taking home, but I'm in Farnham

  5. No probs! No idea about the while you wait service as I usually leave my zed with them, but Tom the owner is great

  7. God you guys are up early @Olly - I wrote a guide in case it helps - http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/105649-installation-guide-350z-de-d1-spec-gt-throttle-controller/
  8. PMed, as I assume you don't want them now matt89?
  9. It doesn't look like it from the pics, but any cracks on the reflectors? If not, second dibs please. I'd want it posted so Surrey, so please let me know total price.
  10. No problem. Just post back on here if you have more questions Oh and if you plan to buy the piggy back fuse taps from that link, please double check the mini fuses are the correct ones for the driver's side fuse box. I'm pretty sure they are, but I bought both the standard and mini ones when I bought them, as I was in a rush and was too lazy to check!
  11. Yeah that should work. I'm pretty sure you can piggy back any of the fuses, as long as it comes on when you need it to. Thinking about it, I did something similar for my dash cam. Here's a pic of my driver's side fusebox, with the trim removed: Piggy back fuse is the one with the yellow fuse (circle #1) This goes to the positive (red) wire of the converter, which is the black box to the right of the black conduit (circle #2) Black wire goes to ground as you mentioned. In this particular case, I used a nut I found just above the fuse box. I undid it and used a crimp ring terminal to attach the ground wire. You can just about see the nut (circle #3) One thing to note when using the piggy back fuse taps, is that orientation does matter. It shouldn't be detrimental, but if you insert it the wrong way, the original fuse will carry the current for the new circuit as well. So depending on how much current the new circuit draws, it could lead to the original fuse blowing. Here's a simple pic I found online when I was doing it. The live side should be the left side. Easy way of checking it would be to stick in the piggy back fuse tap without the original fuse. If you've orientated it correctly, your new circuit (tablet) should receive power, whereas if you've got it the wrong way around it won't. Once you know which way to orientate it, don't forget to stick the original fuse back in Although I would double check on your own car, from my pic above, it looks like the top row of fuses has the live (12v) on the bottom side. Hopefully that makes sense?
  12. If it were me, yeah I think I'd go for something like that and use a piggy back fuse tap to tap into the driver's side fuse box. You can run the cables behind the trim up to the centre console quite easily. You'd need to use a volt meter to find an appropriate fuse location - if I remember correctly I think you're looking for the ACC (accessories) fuses?
  13. Not bid yet, but they were on my watch list
  14. You seem to be missing your teletubbies sticker... P.S. Looks awesome
  15. Nissan 350z 2005 cat back miltek exhaust Current price: £150.00 Bids: 1 # bidders: 1 Reserve: No Delivery charge: Collection Time remaining: 6 days 9 hours Location: Leeds http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-350z-2005-cat-back-miltek-exhaust-/232030569985
  16. Haha fair enough, that makes 2 of us then!
  17. Sure, although do you mind letting me know how it should differ (maybe post an example)? Sorry, I'm a bit clueless about paint colours. I thought dark graphite is pretty much the same as anthracite!
  18. Didn't have too much time as the wife is working late today, which means time to cook & tinker with Zed stuff! Anyhow here you go, hopefully it's enough!
  19. O...M...G... are they a PITA! I tried for ageeees until my friend came along and did it in under a minute per side. Made me feel like an idiot Out of the stuff I've personally done, that connector, the connector under the trim by the handbrake and the white clips for the rear bumper have been the worst! Oh and if it's a pre-facelift 350z you're talking about, I'm pretty sure it's 3 4 bolts - 2 from the front of the car, 1 from the side and 1 on top. As veeg33 said though, looking at your new headlights should give you the answer.
