UK Drivers?

The only time it is really slow is when playing MP3's off a DVD but most systems take a while to read the disk due to the size.
Looks almost perfect in fit.

Its a bit off putting mind if your watching a car/wall/small child in the passenger mirror, put it into reserve and they suddenly vanish


You found a connector? and put it were?
So just by putting it in reverse the mirrors auto tilt?
Although you glance over this if you look through the history you'll see that this has been hotly debated topic over the last couple of months.
Spilt the beans my friend!

First time I saw it it all felt a bit airy as we were both at the lights. Must have been a sight for a passer by.

The loose cable was direct off the back of the switch when I dropped the panel, I guess they knocked it loose when they fitted the cat 1 alarm system after it was imported
Stone chips
I assumed this was just an issue on my car but after reading posts on the gspot thread it appears to be a common problem with this model.
Has anyone had a new clear coat applied to their GT and if so any tips?

Hi Folks...
Got a Mkiv Supra at the mo and an ST200 (Ford) for work that I'm looking at selling (just the Ford) !
Really like the look of the GT350 and had a go in one that was for sale a couple of months ago (it went on e-bay, blue from Cardiff, is it on here yet) ?
Drove nice but really wanted a black one.
Spoke to the great guy, Jurgen, JM Imports, who imported the Supra for us and he says that he should be able to find one as I would like, black, manual, premium, but there's not lots over there.
Still undecided when I read the threads re satnav problems etc.
Surprised that UK havn't their own Sub-Forum !
How do you find your treated on the two Skyline forums here ?
Cheers all.
Gerry

Welcome and have a look at www.z-store.co.uk. I think it's that though it might be .com which is Envy.
They might well help you out when you've got yer car back to Blitey
Hi Neil, welcome to G35driver. It's good to know we have another UK owner...there's not many of us about
. As Martin says, check out Z-Store, I got my intake kit off them. As for advice about the mechanical side of our cars...sorry, count me out. I'm no mechanic. In fact I'm just beginning to learn about my car. Hope someone on here can help you.
Enjoy your time here.

Totally gutted, some pond life managed to get in the house about 2.30 this morning, managed to get the keys to the car plus all the credit cards they past xbox360,s wii and two laptops left them all even the police have said they are after the car, spent just over £200 getting the lock barrels on the house changed but as you can imaging the car will not be as cheap. they have the only immobiliser key so the car is totally dead for me, so the RAC will be here in the morning to take it over to middlehursts in the morning and A-PLAN have been an absolute waste of time, could be off the road until early sept (ps our lass heard something downstairs went down and they legged it other wise the car would have gone as well so im sat here on the computer with two web cams pointing at the garage door the passat across that and the battery out of the car I hope they come back tonight so i can get my keys back) and to make it worse leeds are about to kick off on sky sports and the storms have taken the signal out
OH JOY
OH JOY

I don't think "pond life" is the word you want to use! If it were me it would sound like "sucking tankers" or similar! Bad luck! At least you still have the car - its just a huge inconvenience. Thing is, even if the pond life was caught, they would only get an 4 hour stint in the cells and a slapped wrist! You'd be spending more time sorting the insurance out! Makes my blood boil!
Hope you get it sorted tho!

Can anyone point me in the direction of a place that would be able to ship parts to the UK?
I'm currently looking for clear side repeaters as i find the orange ones stand out like a sore thumb with the silver of the car and then possibly when money permits some other goodies.
Also, with it being the FM platform i take it for brakes and possibly exhaust i could just use 350Z parts from the UK stock?
Cheers
