Hands Up all the Aussies

I’d also love the side rear red reflectors!

Now… who knows here to find a wrecker ?

Hi All, posting to confirm that the rear Cargo blind from the 370Z fits perfectly in our cars, got one yesterday for $200 from a wrecker in perfect condition

That's a good pick up. I couldn't find anything second hand so I picked up a new one for $460.00.

Did you upgrade the gas struts too? Maybe the new covers come with the struts?

Since I missed out on the front license plate bracket from a fellow forum member... can anyone recommend one again please?

Works fine with the original struts

Always felt like overkill that heavier duty struts would be needed

Do you want to keep in the same spot or move it
If in the same spot I just cut down the original bracket to slightly smaller than the plate and remounted, no cost

No, it was the blind only. As others have said, the current struts work fine.

Psssssst….

My car is here

 

[MattJ2020]

Oh hi! Got the keys earlier this evening.

The color was unexpected… it’s beautiful near dusk time of the day and the wheels… don’t get me started on them ? Can’t wait to see the car in the day time and so funny, the owner of the blue Z also picked up his car.

 

[MattJ2020]

Ok ok ok

Here is another one. ?

 

[MattJ2020]

So nice to drive, haven’t really pushed it but I can sense it has some power. First RWD car for me and with this much power.

I’ll wait til I hit 2000kms to give it more beans. The steering is heavy but well and still getting my bearings on the size so where each corner is and wheels… doors are nice, easier than I thought getting in and out of, seat sort of curves forward in my upper back which I’m not use to… and I’m tall so the mirror on the right side is blocks a bit of the road when turning right.

I must get tinting as already my bag in the boot with my work gear gets hot, WA sun! No cargo cover yet, it’s still coming.

The speakers need upgrading and only sounds like music comes from the front ? I’ve toggled it to all but still, Benz speakers are really good compared.
Over all, half a day driving its noice.

I've noticed this as well. For a while I adjusted the fader biased to the rear, and also cranked up the bass, but I couldn't seem to find the sweet spot.

Do you have the super-plush trunk mat? I've got this, and I've been meaning to run an experiment by removing it to see if the mat muffles too much from the subwoofer.

I've just put some music on a usb and it seems better than spotify through android auto.
Audio via Bluetooth is better too.

The mat doesn't make any difference for the sub. The main issue is no spare for the sub to sit in and act as a secondary enclosure. Adding more sound deadening will help.
