Hi, you have to make sure the new unit you are getting has steering wheel inputs/compatability. Then you can obtain an adaptor harness from Clarion etc that will just plug straight in.

Hya, or you can swap the dials for free, that way it keeps the functionality of the meter which was specified for the car and you do not have to change your mileage. There are needle rests on the 350z so it will be quite easy to get the pointers correct. That is a hideous amount of money for a 10 min job though :-/

Hi, its not the yellow one but the clear pot with the gun attached. Ive been using the cleaner that came with the pressure washer and it really foams up well, very surprised and pleased with it. It really goes through the solution though, no the wonder you buy them in 5ltr containers. and yes I would have like the 'proper' foam lance but I got a £15 Halfords voucher for xmas and this looked a good buy! haha maybe get the bigger one at a later date. Just doing a bit of research on the solutions now before I buy, any recomendations greatly accepted.

Thanks for the replies! I think I will give it a go and see if it works!!

Hi, I have just purchased the following foam nozzle for my pressure washer and was wondering if anyone could tell me if I can put snow foam in this or if it is only for the cleaning solutions? If just the cleaning solutions can anyone recommend one? Thanks http://www.karcher.co.uk/uk/Products/Ho ... plications

That looks stunning mate!! It really does show how much better the 06 bumper is over the 05!! defo go for the N2 kit, thats what I have and love it! Only thing I would maybe change is have a complete new rear bumper or get the spats blended into the bumper!! Top marks!

Both pictures absolutely stunning!! Well done on both!! LOL @Martin though!!

@Marsman - thanks for that, appreciate it! On another note, if you still have the defective cluster you could send it to me to be fixed if I have a replacement motor!!

Hya, the issue on your old one was the motor on the rear of the needle giving up. These are either cross coils or stepper motors depending on the year built. The stepper motors have small plastic gears which can break very easily if a small piece of contamination got in. As for the cross coils they have silicon inside, if this dries out then the gears become jumpy and eventually stop moving. Sometimes if the speedo cluster is removed and not stood right the silicone runs out and the same result happens. As for the mileage, yes it is 100% stored in the EEPROM data on the cluster, nothing at all to do with the ECU. Some dealerships cannot do this, they simpley dont have the equipment, but they should sort it out for you. It is a very costly thing to do at home as you need the original EEPROM data, canalyser software, an EEPROM writer, and the technical skills to use the software. Alternatively if they have not sent the defective meter back under warranty/investigation, get them to swap the motors out. You have to be very careful in removing all the parts but it is standard practice in the assembly line in the factory to replace motors!!!! Hope they do something for you!!

Hi there. Was just wandering if you had any luck with the repair? Mine has gone in exactly the same place only it has brought the corner away, maybe 3cm up and 5cm along. Been trying to save up so I can get it repaired but I fear it might have to go on the cc!!!!! Thanks

WOW fantastic! Very jealous, been a few years since I was last there and the place was allot busier than that!! I remember queing about half a mile up the road from that roundabout to get on the track!! Do you get chance to go often? Is it up to about £23 a lap now? put more pics up if you have them

Hi, the fuel pointer is moved by a resistance input from the fuel sender, which should not go up and down as much as it does, even with the fuel slopping about. The eeprom data in the combi-meter is written to update the gauge at regular intervals or when the car is started. One theory I have is that the eeprom data is not entirely correct for the fuel circuit, it seems as if it is using part of the calculation from the dte to try and level out the fuel pointer, but with the error it is making it go up slightly!!! In Japan where our cars where made they did not have the stricted of tolerances to this, coupled with the fact our combi-meters use cross coil motors, newer cars now use stepper motors which are easier to control!! 1 good thing though is it appears they have set the flashing dashes warning to com eon when you have 11 litres left in the tank. Nissans made in the UK have the dashes come on at 4.5 litres left!!! I hope this was helpful!

Thanks for that, ill look to get some as the autosol is not touching it!!!

Hi there, dont mean to hijack your thread but I have the 5 spoke racing Harts and was wondering what you used to polish the scratch out? Unfortunately I stored my wheels over winter in a garage I didnt know was leaking and now the wheels have started to corrode and I want tpolish them back up. Thanks, and good luck with the sale!

Id be interested to see how you get on withthis one too! I have about the same size tare but it is where the mechanism has worn through at the pivot point at the bottom of the B pillar region on the drivers door! Hope it wont be expensive for you!!
