oooo.... i did a better search with more terms, and found one with the exact same issue! its getting late, but will read it tomorrow

That was easy to find, if this is the post? In that case, he was able to switch Bluetooth on, but had issues paring the phone. Once Bluetooth is on, pairing wont be a problem. And technically, the phone is already paired and in the list of paired devices on the car. IIIIFFF I can turn Bluetooth on. I tried with the car running, with the engine off but the car electricals on, in gear in park and in neutral. As soon as you start moving, all the settings get disabled for safety. For anyone who doesn't know the trick, to do a google search of only SAU for a term, below is what I used to get the above sop quickly. https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Awww.sau.com.au+bluetooth But most Bluetooth issues found by the above are with the audio breaking up or stopping.

As the Bluetooth cannot be turned on, the car does not appear in the list of devices to connect on my phone Bluetooth pairing screen. And vice versa, it does not see my phone is looking to pair. I did a search of the whole internet, but knowing this possible tidbit, I will search across the forum only and see what appears. I actually needed one of my own posts the other day, and my profile did not find it, but a site targeted search found it. So here's hoping.

Last year I had my Android phone working perfectly with Bluetooth into my car. I could make & receive calls using the Bluetooth in the car and play music from my phone through the AUX; bluetooth audio for music is rubbish. I can even still see that my phone is a valid device that has already been paired to the car previously. However, now, I cant turn the bluetooth ON in the car, its disabled in the menu. Note, I have had the center computer converted to english. The only thing that changed since I noticed it does not work anymore, is that mid Dec to end Jan I did not drive the car, and battery went flat. Does anyone know of a setting somewhere to enable my bluetooth in the car? Once its enabled pairing is a doddle.

So I have the car in the title, and I love that the side wing, rear view mirrors dip / point down when the car is in reverse. And as expected, they *attempt* to revert back to the original position, but fail. They appear to overshoot, and I have to manually adjust them back into position. Normally they return with a angle pointing slightly into the sky 😠 I know I can turn off the tilt on reverse, but I find it very useful when reversing out of my VERY tight garage. Is this normal or common? I tried the window reset type procedure. ie move to highest then to lowest. And it did not change. Any other suggestions? Is there another trick?

I dont need this, I thought maybe some V35 owners without a screen may be interested And to save clicking on the tracking link https://www.seicane.com/car-dvr-wireless-carplay-android-auto-adas-wifi-aux-dash-cam-gps-fm-rearview-camera-video-h041%3Facc%3Db73ce398c39f506af761d2277d853a92&v=alYc0hsbbFw

I have a 2008 370GT SP. I also have the full manual for the 2008 G37 (not sure where I downloaded it from, but it has all the chapters with hyperlinks from the index). Short of downloading the full 2009 G37 and manually looking for differences, does anyone know of something only on the base 2009 G37, that was not in the 2008 G37? I am hoping we are not talking about options. For example, mine does not have heated seats, and therefore if it was an option that only came out in 2009, that does not help, as mine could still be the equiv of a 2009 G37, without the heated seat option.

Is there also a trick that the Japanese models were one year in advance? So a 2008 370GT is a 2009 G37? or maybe that was with my 350GT.

I dont have a direct answer, however, many years ago when I first got my 350GT Coupe, I replaced the front orange indicators with clear lenses. It failed the pink slip, but my mechanics didn't skip a beat, and put in orange caps inside the clear lensed indicators, and passed it without question. I guess what I am saying is, just try asking your regular mechanic. My guys didn't even check with me before doing it, they just told me when I went to pick it up. If you want a selfie, maybe go to wreckers and find a broken red plastic taillight, and cut it to fit & cover the globes; or even a smaller upper taillight from a different car. Maybe even heat it a little to conform to a shape. Just spit-balling

My bad, I'm used to other forum software which lets you edit posts after people have quoted you / responded. I cant edit my posts here either. Its probably too late to bother now, things have moved on, but if it was more serious, reporting your own post to a moderator asking for an adjustment has worked for me.

I once hinted that a supercharged engine would probably fail (because of emissions) and man did i get burnt by an angry member. PS: you may wish to edit your post and remove all the carriage returns. I had to take it out of the above quote.

Sorry for the late reply, Ive been away from my pc since mid dec. Just to be clear, I use the cars AUX input and my phone headphone out as the source. On the phone I have major audio software to correct the short cummings in the car audio. The phone output obliterates the CD (and of course the Music Box or radio or Bluetooth), and would expect the CF card would also be of similar poor quality. So, would never actually use the CF card for anything more than to fill the empty hole or "because its there"; ie dont waste any time on this, its simply a test of an idea. Reading US Infinity G37 forum posts, they all talk about the limitation of 512 songs on a card https://www.myg37.com/forums/audio-video-and-electronics/195083-number-of-song-limit-on-a-compact-flash.html Earlier/other post "think" there is a 4GB limit size limit, only to be corrected by the 512 song limit, and thyeir 4GB limit has been because of the MP3 file sizes push the over the actual 512 song limit. What I was wondering, if the real limit is NOT the size of the card, then, you could have 100 ALBUMS, each ripped to a single MP3 file, containing the whole album of 12 songs. So, the number of "files" would only be 100, with each "file" containing 12 songs, so the number of songs would be 1200. So I guess the next possible limit would be the size of an individual MP3 file; which i have yet to read of. And if that is not a limit, then it would truly be a size limit of a CF card. So I guess a test would be a big MP3 file on a big CF card; since the car wont understand the MP3 has many songs on it. Just an idea.

Redbook values have always seemed on the cheap side whenever I have looked at them. I am guessing they are more dealer/trade orientated. But, a print-out may help as a bargaining chip. https://www.redbook.com.au/cars/details/2004-nissan-skyline-350gt-v35-auto/SPOT-ITM-265550?Cr=1 I found the KM made a big diff to price, but you need to confirm the value. My 350GT only had 23,000 on the clock, but the floor mats were waaaaay to worn for so low a odometer reading (and I assumed it was wound back). Out of the 5-10 that I drove, it felt the best. Some of them really felt "tired". . A few years later of owning the car, I found the JP auction papers (in the car!) and they showed that the car has been would back 30k. At least at that one point. 23k on odo, 50k on auction

It varies state to state. By chance, I accidentally came across an Australian wide one when checking for something else (for a 370GT, not legal for P's in NSW). I couldn't find that page now. Here is one for NSW https://www.nsw.gov.au/topics/driver-and-rider-licences/driver-licences/p1-and-p2-prohibited-vehicles/prohibited-vehicles-search-results?page=14&make=Nissan&model=Skyline I found it using the search terms:"2004 Nissan Skyline 350gt is green p plate legal". Basically your question. I know the 370GT is not for P's in NSW. When I was looking for my 3760GT, one was being sold by a P plater, and was actually bought by another member here, that used it as a bargaining angle. But there are a number of states that it is. I think on the page I saw it was Power to Weight ratio. EDIT: Just closing my other browser windows, and came accross this before i closed it: https://www.carsguide.com.au/car-advice/p-plate-legal-cars-in-australia-81275

I owned a 350GT 2003 model for about 8 years (changed Jan 2022). In that time I remember the following maintenance/issues/repairs, and where I sourced the parts: Ignition coils. The first I got directly from the mechanic no probs. Nissan. The others I went on eBay and got NDK Brake Rotors and Pads. No issue. I changed the pad material because the rims were heavily coated in dust. The new ones had virtually no dust, but the squealed like a banshee when cold. Electric Window winders, both sides. Randomly played up (lightly smacked the side of the door to get them temporarily working), stopped working all art once. I took them out, pulled them to pieces, cleaned them inside (especially around the carbon brushes & springs and the spindle spike), applied an electrical conductive grease (from JayCar), put them together, and remounted them. They worked perfectly after that. I think i got at least 5 more years till I disposed of the car. Tires. Obviously not an issue... Rims. No issue, but I damaged my previous ones (aftermarket, from Japan when I bought the car) Oil & filters Air filters And really minor things such as window wiper blades. Thats all I remember. Nothing major, until someone drove "through" the car in a multistory parking garage; and drove off. Apart from a "Good Samaritan" leaving a note on my windscreen with the offenders numberplate, an attendant following them in re-parking on a different level (with lic. Plate), my car was parked right next to the automated pay machine, so it had numerous cameras on it. He / She was fined by the police for their attempted get-away. The reason I tell this story, I had insurance do the repairs. They made 5-10 crappy attempts, and on one of the last failed attempts, I pointed out that at the correct angle, the bumper had waves/light reflection distortions on the surface (long straight florescent tube had a circular reflection). After some arguing, they agreed to correct it. Later, the assessor told me he found "the single last new bumper" in Australia. Which I thought was weird for a car never sold in Aus. ie there were *possibly* new body panels in Aus,. And why would he continue looking if he found one? insurance pays, not the repairer They eventually gave up and paid me out. After screwing me around for almost a year. Generally speaking, I never had issues with parts/repairs. Its a Nissan, and they try and re-use parts between what they sell, inc locally.

No, the most obvious target, you would normally pay Motor Trimmers, who charge by the hour, it looks very labor intensive in time, and therefore I think it wouldn't be cheap. One thing I have thought to look into is something like Air-Tasker. At least then you are not paying a skilled professional rate to perform simple repetitive monkey work. Just did a quick search on YouTube, and found this vid. It took him 6hrs. One thing I did notice before I fond the above vid, there are different patterns to stitch it to together, some would obviously take longer, but as expected, probably look better.

o0ooo.. these sew on's are a huge commitment. Get the video before you buy, and check around on how long it takes for a first timer, not a professional. I think I saw something on youtube which made me hesitant to go down that path.

Wasn't sure if to post this in the gallery. Dont know how commonly know the following is, but I searched the whole of SAU and did not find any references to it. Just interesting that the car underneath all this, as used by "The Joker" in the suicide squad movie, is a V35 Coupe I saw it from the following YT clip:

I am NOT recommending this unit, and only know what I can see from the link below. I only post it because I have not seen anyone mention it. Things to note: Its an Australian based company The unit is $519, but once you add the min expected things such as a reverse camera, its $715 (scroll down) before installation It basically looks to be an android phone/tablet, and 3GB RAM is not a lot. Another place to check about these would by an android forum such as: https://forum.xda-developers.com/m/teyesaustralia.11474311/ https://forum.xda-developers.com/f/android-head-units.4267/ Personally, I have my center screen translated, and use my phone for very good Audio (possibly not installable on this unit?), and navigation (Waze, which could be installed, but I am rooted/jailbroken and have modified it to remove the ads ect etc) and also ODBII over bluetooth. I also kind of like having a second screen (ie the phone) purposefully for Nav. And it kina looks a little bit like a tack-on with sticky tape.

I have a 370GT, which has a compact flash interface. I use the AUX input from my phone. Is anyone using it in their car? I have a couple of questions, but will pout them out there, when I find a user.

We have no idea about the guy, but he seems to know what he is talking about. His take is that its basically disco lights

I'd be willing to bet money on no. But to confirm, check the part numbers online, somewhere like at https://nissan.epc-data.com/skyline/

And worse, if it isn't a total scam (ie does absolutely nothing), it could even do damage.

@awsam not sure if you know about these, but you may also get some help from android/technical forums / threads like: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/tesla-style-headunits.3512709/ https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum/133?g=273

I had a quick look, and found this manual. You will need to do the translation http://www.datasystem.co.jp/tekigou/pdf/ab_tvnavi.pdf
