Hi everyone, I’m looking to replace the factory Bose stereo in my 350Z, and I’m currently considering two options: Kenwood DPX505BT Kenwood Excelon DPX795BH The main difference seems to be the preamp voltage: the DPX505BT has a 2.5V preamp output, while the Excelon DPX795BH has a 5V output. Unfortunately, I have no experience with sound systems and don’t know how this difference might affect sound quality or compatibility with the factory Bose amp. I also vaguely recall something about the ohm values of head units when replacing the Bose system, but I’m unsure how it applies here or what I should watch out for. I’d really appreciate any advice on which of these units would work best, or if there are other better options. My main priority is to keep the car as close to original as possible, so I’m not interested in anything with large screens or modern-looking interfaces. Thanks in advance for your help!

Can we do it with 18? 🙄

It would be a shame if we can’t get a stand for missing just 2 😕

We need to bump the post more lol

Duty was 2.5% not 5%, did they change it recently?

I’ll keep sharing updates about my 350Z here. Here’s what I’ve done so far: Major service at Nissan – Just for peace of mind. New tyres – Went with Michelin Pilot Sport 5. Laser alignment done. Front bumper resprayed – It was faded from sun exposure. Also had the rust on the bonnet sorted with a simple paint job. Headlights cleaned – They look fresh again. Dashcam installed – Viofo A219 Plus, hardwired. Really happy with it. To-Do List Replace antenna: It’s broken, and I keep forgetting to fix it. I will need to get it sorted soon. I may use one of those shorter antennas. Underbody rust-proofing: Top priority, but still not done. Head unit: Stuck between finding a used Bose unit to stay original or upgrading to a Kenwood. The current one shows a “Check Disk” error, maybe a sign to go aftermarket? Open to ideas... Steering wheel & shift knob treatment: Both have some sun damage on the top parts. I have to find a way to get it done... Remove the Jap TV: I don’t want to put a tablet there, but not sure what else to do with the cubby. Again, open to ideas... Weather strips: Bought some from Amazon, but I’m not sure if they’re all the same size. Will check this when I get a chance. A-pillar finisher repair: Thinking of reinforcing it from the inside with resin and fiber. Planning to do this when I sort out the weather strips. Emblems: Considering replacing them, they look a bit aged. Tiny rust bubble on the side of the bonnet: It is very small, I wish I saw it before the paintjob... Refurbish wheels: They’re showing some wear, and I think refinishing or repainting them will really improve the car’s look. I’m happy with the progress so far, but there’s still a lot to do. If you’ve got any advice or suggestions, especially about the head unit or cubby space, let me know. I’ll post more updates as I go.

Hi, it is pretty simple actually. You have two options; 1- ask exporter to help you with it, which is the easiest way 2- you can request it from japaninspection.org the certificate I got is through the exporter but it came from this people. also as a third way I am sure you can find a middle man in the UK.

I will continue providing updates in this thread, because, why not? Finally, she is ULEZ compliant! It took around two weeks to receive the Certificate of Conformity and just one day to be officially marked as compliant.

No way, you quoted me 5k which is more than 3 times the quotes I got from other providers.

I got this one, perfect fit: https://www.tayna.co.uk/car-batteries/varta/b31/?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIpMGd6-b6iQMVYJdQBh2gwwHXEAAYASAAEgLcGfD_BwE

You are a saint, attaching images here. I am also attaching images of bonnet, just in case someone can give a quote on that.
