Yenyaw Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 This has had some work done, and is pretty solid, im impressed by it Only issue mechanically is the EML is on, sales rep said O2 sensor or because its had a decat, but i plugged it in and getting a P1283 code Also, this used to be a light colour and had a respray to blue, which im trying to locate the old owner that had it done to get the colour code as the front bumper needs respraying coz its not quite the same as the rest of the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yenyaw Posted December 7, 2017 Author Share Posted December 7, 2017 Cheers mate, Need to tidy up the bodywork a bit, and get the wheels refurbed, but other than that prob just upgrade the speakers, i dont think it needs much else. Although ive been toying with the idea of LED rear lights and changing the fronts too. Im hoping the old owner is on here, to help with some details.

No worries mate, yeah I think upgrading the speakers is a must if you're into your music, not the greatest system, need to get the tape deck out of mine and upgrade to one of them fancy touch screen ones too. When you say change the fronts, do you mean the reflectors or the actual lights? They may pop up, you never know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yenyaw Posted December 8, 2017 Author Share Posted December 8, 2017 The actual headlight clusters, ive seen some on Carid.com i quite like: https://www.carid.com/2004-nissan-350z-headlights/ BUt yeah, my headunit that came with it is a touchscreen windows based one, and the speakers don't seem that great, but there no room in my boot either for the dual box i had in my old car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yenyaw Posted December 8, 2017 Author Share Posted December 8, 2017 Also, what is the electric system like at having LED bulbs in? do they flicker? errors like on the newer canbus systems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a good speaker set up in my Civic Type R, so I always compare mine to that, but probably shouldn't . 10 minutes ago, Yenyaw said: Also, what is the electric system like at having LED bulbs in? do they flicker? errors like on the newer canbus systems? Unable to help there I'm afraid buddy, I've only changed my sidelights when the headlights were out, haven't changed indicators front or rear. I'm sure someone will be able to tell you though, let me know how you get on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The demon eyes are I promise, not pink, phone isn't good in low light pictures . Clear lenses are good too, really spreads the light better than the stock frosted one.

Neither do I, I was lucky that my brother has done a few of them before so I was in good hands, we done it together but I was more looking what he was doing and helping so I didn't mess it up . There are a good few instructions on the forum about changing lights if you wanted to get an idea of how to do it. Are you able to customise the lights before you buy them?

eroll_350z Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 That's understandable, there was a big selection. Whichever style you do decide to go for, make sure to take some pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On your colour I think they'll suit nicely. Each to their own. Should look good either way you decide to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
