do you have it in the right way and powered up?

I got lazy and got Alberts to do it ... i would like to think that they know how to wire up something as simple as an FM expander. I'm taking a guess they mainly use second hand ones from other cars that have had their systems upgraded. I'm just worried that the Skyline might need a specific one for some strange reason ...

Hi guys..new here..well kind of anyway. Used to post back when i have my V35 (totalled :P ). Anyway..now i'm back with the V36 (never learned my lesson :D )..and since i can't remember my old user ID..had to register a new one..

Anyway, just bought myself a 2008 V36 coupe with Nav, music box, Side & Rear camera, leather seats. Not sure if i have the premium Bose or not (still no clue what model/package that is actually). I manage to work out quite a few of those Japanese menus/buttons (due to previous experience with my V35 :( ) but i could not, for the life of me, get the bluetooth to work!!! :ermm: . I manage to get to the menu where there is "Bluetooth" in the menu but the "Bluetooth On" button is greyed out. There is only 3 selectable buttons there which is the Bluetoth password change (the one where you can enter numbers), Bluetooth info and a button which leads to a lists of Japanese menus.

Is my bluetooth on already? if not, how do i on it? Before anyone ask, i know i have bluetooth as there is the phone & voice commannd button on my steering wheel. HELP ME!!... :ermm:

PS: Oh yeah..i have a Sony Erricson Satio phone.

I was playing around and found that through bluetooth the music on my iphone played through the car.

Interesting that on z-club, the 370z owners dont have this option of playing music through bluetooth?

I'd love to know how you got the iPhone to play music Bluetooth. Mines paired up and I can make calls, but the music just played through the iPhone speakers. As far as I know, the iPhones don't support the A2DP standard, maybe the iPhone 4 does. But then, the dealer at Mazda showed me that he could play music on his 3GS through the CX7.

Thank you to everyone who posted on this thread. With a bit of tinkering, I got my iPhone paired to the car last night. I also managed to get the music paired on Bluetooth as well, so that now I can play music from my iPhone and control it all from the steering wheel. Very cool.

This thread has gone a bit quiet, so I assume most people already know how to do this. If not, mention it on this thread and I will put up some detailed instructions.

Hey, I have my iPhone paired but cannot get the music to play via Bluetooth.

If you can do step by step that would be appreciated, I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Due to the nature of the thing I think a little video clip would be best if you can do one (plus it'll save you the pain of writing it up). I lost my camera on a recent bucks night... (along with the evidence).

Bose Sound Systems are an option in Japan, if you have a Bose sound equiment your front speakers should feature the Bose Logo also located in the back seat centre where arm rest sit would be replaced with two speakers, I am assuming subs or larger speakers.

Hi guys,

I have also got my iphone 3GS paired fine and can take/make calls no dramas but can't quite figure out how to get music streaming from the phone.

How did you guys do it?

Cheers

Pairing is the hard part

once you have done that

keep pressing 'DISC' until Blutooth comes up. you should be able to play from there

How did we do it? From the above it looks like NOONE has done it.

This does not work for me with my iPhone 3GS. I can easily select BT at the source. Have you actually had it working?

OK no matter how many times I hit either the 'DISC' button on the centre console or the 'Source' button on the steering wheel nothing comes up.

I'm playing music on the Iphone 3GS, phone is paired and able to make and receive calls. The stereo just doesn't want to recognise bluetooth streaming as a source.

I'm wondering if there's a setting somewhere to enable bluetooth streaming as a source?

      Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.

      Recomended Coolant For Gt T R34

      By silviaz · Posted

      What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.

      R34 GTR running rich and noisy turbo coincidence

      Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      By Rezz · Posted

      No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
