Yep, the 19" wheels and camera are on my list. I wonder if anyone in Vic has got a camera installed on their Z yet.

I assume the aftermarket direct ipod cable also charges ipod?? or is that just wishful thinking?

evse82 · 06-30-2009, 08:50 AM

The camera looks pretty damn good dude, how is it connected to the screen?? do you have to select anything or does it go to that view when reverse is selected??

MrBMW · 07-01-2009, 01:08 AM

It seems there are a few questions here that I can answer, so forgive the MULTIPLE quotes, just though it would be easier than doing individual posts (aka post w%$*@#). I might even try and a little video done showing how the Rev' Video cam works/looks (can only use my point/shoot camera though).

I didn't even realise we had electric fold mirrors. Will have to work that out LOL. Also the heating mirror part. I have read a lot how the US guys/girls aren't happy they dont get it. Do we need to turn it on, or is it an auto thing (could explain my mirrors this morn' were clear).

I suppose there would be no frost in Perth. Wouldn't there be some frost in the slightly inland areas from Temps overnight. I would prefer the look of the 19's but in 18" size and Lightweight, plus lower it 1-2 inches.

Hi nismostu, I thought it was wishful thing as well at first. But then I realised my iPhone and iPod came out with battery fuller. I might try running the iPod (5.5th Gen 80 gig) near flat and see how long it takes to charge.

The Camera is dead cert for anyone personally. The view is perfect and aspect is spot on. So when I reverse, the edge of the car I can see can go right up to a wall etc.. It might be a bit different if the car was extremely low..

It appears they have connected it into the AUX input in some way. So when I put the car in Reverse it overrides whatever I have on the screen iPod/Music/Nav etc.. The Reverse Camera shows. I couldn't say whether it would work for the Auto though.

PS I'm loving this

nismostu · 07-01-2009, 01:46 AM

cool - thanks for the response.

Yep - i accidentally pushed the button on the mirror control whilst test driving the Z and watched them fold in - used to have that facility on an R31 Import Skyline i used to own. Great feature.

I'm very interested to find out any more details about the reversing camera (make/model, etc) as I noticed that the view out the back window was pretty poor. It's definitely a car that will take awhile to get used to the massive blind spots whilst changing lanes. Really need to use your mirrors.

Cheers,

Stu

cool good work with the camera, I'm also interested in the make/model and how it's all set up, sounds perfect to me

rang the dealer and they have no idea at what stage the car is - if it is even built or not... I find that hard to believe.....

they will ring me weekly to give me updates....

hurry up Nissan! I want my car!!!

maybe if they gave me a GTR to drive while I was waiting I wouldn't mind so much!

Done mate.

It would be nice to have the GTR to drive around though. You would then cancel your 370 order, sell your family, house etc.. so you can have the GTR instead

irishboy · 07-03-2009, 01:47 AM

well.... spoke to the dealer yesterday and they still have no clue as to when the car will be delivered... looks like sept they reckon.....

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!!!!!!

370er · 07-03-2009, 02:02 AM

mmm.... long wait I know. It's only been 5 days since i've ordered but it feels longer.
