Since I'm a newbie (in here at least), I thought I'd ask a simple q. And yes, I did do a search first :D

I've got one of those mobile phone car kits for my nokia 8250, but I was looking at getting a new car and its pretty inconvenient to buy a kit for a given phone and have to change the kit if I buy a new phone.

So.....that was a long winded way of saying, is there such a thing as a head unit that can connect to a mobile via bluetooth wireless, and if so, has anyone bought/used one?

You could get a bluetooth car-kit to use with a whole number of bt equipped phone but even these will prob only work with *that* brand of phone :D

They *are* cool in that you don't neccessarily have to change cradles with each phone, though.

Headunit? Hope you're not talking about stereo headunits?!!? All you could od is use the yellow wire from the car kit to mute the stereo when a call comes in.

Hope this helps a bit...

buy a "car baby" no wires the thing simply clips over ur phone and u tune ur stereo into the frequency it tells u to. they work great and totaly transportable and only cost about 70 bucks

bless_you, this is the head unit you mean?

this is close to the sort of thing i was looking for but its limited in # of models it supports, thats why I was hoping for some standards based wireless.

For the guys that mentioned the FM receiver thingies, the speaker thru the radio bit makes sense, but how does the mike work?

2rismo, got a link to one of those bluetooth cradle products.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
