getrich Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Hi there, I have a 53 350Z and recently everything has gone wrong with my car. I just don't understand it?? It's always been in the garage and well looked after. A number of things have broken on my car which include the IPDM unit (I think thats what its called) Its the fuse box that sits behind the battery. Basically my back lights stopped working. So I took my 350 into Nissan and they diagnosed the problem and traced the it to the IPDM unit. Water had been getting into it blowing some of the fuses and turning the wiring green!! So i had it replaced which cost me £1100!! At the same time as this My BOSE stereo has recently given up on me!! The CD changer has broken and eject is permantely up on the screen accompanied by a very annoying clicking sound! My dealer said that I need a new one which would cost me nearly £1200!! So... ..I was wondering if you can install a single din HU into the 350? and If you can where is the best place to source the parts needed to achieve this? My dealer said that they've never had to do it and wouldn't know where to start!! Also at the same time.... ...My drivers window started to stick. I asked my dealer to check what was wrong and he called me today to say that the regulator and the motor had broken and I was looking at a £650 bill including parts and labour!! Does anyone know where I could get these parts cheaper? As I really don't want to have to spend £650 just before Christmas!! Thanks for your time Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H5 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Hi Dan, welcome to the club BOSE - Better Of with Something Else. Take a look in the ICE and for sale sections and you'll see BOSE units for sale and install guides for single DIN units. Similar story for the window motor. Some come up for sale on here ocassionally, and we do have traders that can help source bits. Then introduce yourself, show us pics and let us know where you're based. Chances are there's someone nearby that might be able to help.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
