I don't get a chance to drive it as it is therefore won't be 'wasting' my time recording it or being laughed at by my wife doing so...... Yes they cut the silencers out (sort of one-piece and weighed a ton) and then slotted in two separate sleeved sections. Only took half an hour.

It cost £90 cash-in-hand and if anything has made it more raspier rather than the other way around as what you've been told would suggest. It really isn’t night-n-day like fitting a complete new system; it’s just added a bit "more" of the same noise when starting up and under acceleration.

That would mean knowing how to record a video or sound clip on my phone and then download it t'internet..... Haven't got the time and can't be arsed TBH. As described it just sounds standard but maybe 20% louder under acceleration and at start-up, otherwise it’s the usual almost-silent level.

Thanks. Sorry, I should've said, I have the 'GT' Akibono calipers if that makes any difference? Is there really two on each of the small rear callipers?

Sorry, missed your post. How many will I need for all 4 callipers please?

Just noticed there may be more than one nipple on each calliper, is this the case? (I remember a set of Alcons I used to have on a track car had 4 on each of the fronts!!) How many will I need to do all 4 callipers please?

I‘m missing a cap on one calliper and the other three look a little perished so thought I’d treat the car to a new set. They are not available from Nissan (other than in a complete seal set for £80 per calliper), therefore can anyone please recommend anywhere in particular that sells identical caps. Thanks

Thanks but not sure I understand your response. My boot is completely back to standard now with the weight back in place etc. and as previously posted all is working fine. My 'new' problem is the knocking from the two halves of the latch (I think) and my request is if anyone knows whether it's able to adjust the latch so as to bring both parts tighter to each other?

Following on from this, I think my boot latch may need adjusting so as when the boot is closed it’s held a bit closer to the bodywork and therefore the rubber seals. I can hear the two parts of the latch knocking against each other when I go over bumps etc. Thanks.

I didn't hear back from zmanalex, but have just replaced the lid weight and even without the washers in the poppers it now releases fine?! So its now completely back to normal and is working properly for some reason. Presumably having being messed around a bit its sorted itself around. Worst case i can pop one or two washers back in the poppers.

Excuse my ignorance but why's that? I've always found it to be much better. Our other car has both FM and DAB and it sounds much better through DAB.

Ok, thanks. I just assumed there would've been a DAB unit introduced in a later model and that I could retro-fit. I don’t want to fit an aftermarket unit and just had a look at the DAB add-ons and they seem to involve extra screen mounted aerials and then remote controls to change channels, I don’t really want to go to all that hassle. Thanks anyway.

I have a non-DAB-non-SATNAV Bose system in my 2010 370Z. The sound quality is great listening to CD's, but the radio (which I listen to most of the time) reception is only FM and not the best quality. Is it possible to retro-fit a later model's DAB unit (don't know if there even is one, but just guessing there must be)? Thanks

Thanks, they look great, your shadow-chrome on the outers looks darker than my standard silvery shadow-chrome and is exactly what I'm after.

What about if it’s a mid-grey (Titanium) car then?!.... I don’t disagree with you, but there are so many examples of dark cars with dark wheels and vice-versa that I think its on a case by case basis. With regards my mid-grey car, I'm only talking about having them done a few shades darker, so they wont be as dark as say the Nismo wheels but will be noticeably darker than the standard silvery finish. Much the same as after a couple of weeks of road grim and brake dust.
