Noob questions..... - karlp - 05-06-2019

So, cant wait to start customising the zed, already got my OJC tax disc holder in Big Grin.
Since mine is a jap import it has the japanese sat nav built in which looks pretty smart, I know they cost a bomb to be converted into english but mine has the dvd rom drive behind the drivers seat and I've read that you can buy a english drive with the english dvd rom in and that will make the jap sat nav work with english roads, and then get the translated stickers for the sat nav controls from america? Could this work as I'd like to keep it in if poss???

Also what are the best main headlight and sidelight bulbs to get (LEDS,SMDS etc), and with the orange indicator bulbs I want to swap these to the silver ones which typre are they???

Thanks guys.

Karlp why not move one step forward and add a car pc to your ride.
I have the Centrafuse loaded to my car and it works very well.
That way your have the latest SatNav and maps as well as pre loading all your favorite films and music

More info in the coming weeks will be available on how to install one of these.

hmmmm interesting lexus buy?
Not sure theres enough room in the footwells as no glove box either.

You need very little room I use a Acer Aspire Revo to power my system.
You could either place this in your boot or just behind the seats

Also need some new rear tyres in the next month or so whats the best budget tyre for rays 18s??

Have a look on Camskill for tyres mate.
Get HIDs for headlights and SMD bulbs (501) for sidelights!

Do not put budgets on, its a rear wheel drive with a playful behind, tyres are what keep you on the road, you put budgets on and you'll be in the nearest ditch, people.spend a fortune modding their cars and then put **** tyres on, spend the money on your tyres, the mods can come later

Agree 100%, I wouldn't put budgets on anything, on a 350Z it seems like an even wiser decision.......

Conti sport contact 3's are great budget tyres.........................................................
