Hey any of you guys want to meet up anytime soon ( Mikersoft, Va Gentlemen, NoahBuddy, CommaSense and anyone else) ?
One of these weekend afternoons?

 

I'd be in. I would like to meet some fellow z owners in the area.

 

Sure!

You want to try to meet up on March 30th?

 

I'm heading out of town March 28th. But, before then would be cool.

 

now that Brandy and I are the proud new owners of a black Track, we would love to meet. Unlike before where we just drooled over your guys' rides.

 

This Sunday ( March 23rd) 4:00 at the Silver Diner at Springfield Mall like before?

 

I'd like to meet up again sometime soon. However, I'm on call this weekend, so I may not make it on the 23rd.

-Mike

 

Suggestions? Noah and Mike

 

My schedule is very fluid...(read I have no life other than work, cleaning my car and painting some rooms in my house )..so whatever works for y'all.

4 on Sunday sounds good for us.

 

I guess we'll start off with that.4:00 Sunday. Hope you can make it Mike.

 

The following weekend would be cool (providing the weather is nice).

-Mike

 

I'm in. 4pm Sunday. Maybe you guys can meet again on the 30th with Mike.

I'm still doing my stereo upgrade so the Z is in a few pieces, but it's starting to come together nicely.

 

I'll do that if Mike wants to.

 

So you are doing the install yourself? How difficult are you finding it to take the car apart? We are gathering equipment at the moment and when I have everything, I will be doing the same. Any words of advice or anything that you want to pass along?

 

Yep, doing it myself.

It is supprisingly easy to take the car apart.
And Nissan did a great job of "anticipating" aftermarket
mods. There is plenty of room for everything.

the biggest resource has been my350z. Tons of great help here.


recommendations:
get the right tools (multimeter, wire fish, plastic bolt popper, etc)
plan, plan, plan
wait for everything to get in before you start
(I couldn't wait and have taken the hu out at least 20 times)
don't be afraid to make mistakes, but be prepared to wait
for replacement parts.

I started with just the speakers and the bose.
big difference just there, but still no bass.

next I did the HU & amp

then, the sub

now the lcd & nav



I'm sure I'll still have everthing in pieces on Sunday if
you guys wanna oogle over the mess I've made...

 

I guess I'll start a new thread with date and time as heading

 

great thanks for the tips

I have begun locating threads explaining how to do everything and printing those out. Figured that would be the best way. Glad to hear the car isn't that hard to pull apart. Which dash kit did you use and where did you get it? Also, did you use a wire adapter to hook up to the HU? (Instead of cutting and splicing into the factory harness)

So far we have ordered and Sony MP70 head unit, JL XR650's for the front and VR650's for the rear. I have a couple of amps not being used, as well as a sub. We got in on that group buy for the trunk enclosure. Should sound so much better than the base stereo.

SORRY - didn't mean to thread jack

 

went with the metra dash kit
also bought the nissan - generic and generic - alpine harnesses
but the generic - alpine didn't fit the 7996 so I ended up
splicing into the nissan - generic one.
got them all from Circuit City at Springfield Mall but I basically had to give them the part number for the Metra kit and special order it.
took about 4 days to get it in.
