Hi guys,

I've successfully paired my iPhone 6S to my 2007 V36 Skyline.

It's worked well for years, although every now and then I wipe/reinstall iOS on my phone and have to do the painful pairing procedure again.

It's paired, but problem is it keeps randomly disconnecting.  In the past I solved this by doing a fresh iOS install on my phone and pairing it again, but this time the problem persists.  I haven't noticed any pattern as to why it drops out, and I have to keep reconnected it by switching to radio then back to 'disc' (bluetooth) again.  It's really annoying when I'm going on a long drive, it can happen as much as every 3-5 minutes or so.

Any idea why this happens and how to fix it?

Thanks!

Hi. I can't offer you any joy but say that the bluetooth phone connection has always been dodgy with my iPhone 7 in my 2013 Skyline Cross-over. Further, the music tags reported on the console screen never displayed correctly either. Only way I could get everything working properly was to directly attach the phone via a USB cable - then all good. 

But I don't know if your 2007 V36 offers a USB port. My 2015 coupe didn't.

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone had any luck fixing this issue? Im having the same issue on my 2009 Skyline Crossover, maybe not as severe as some though. Mine drops out, and reconnects by itself around once every 10 mins, although sometimes my music will start to stutter for a minute straight, but this is rare. Still yet to try a non iphone though.

 

Edit: also have the issue that the screen will show whats playing once it connects, then the screen freezes and doesn't update, and eventually goes blank even though something is still playing.

I lived with it for a long time, but have recently fixed it.

All I did was unpair and re-pair the phone again and my issues went away.  It does work slightly different now, I'm only using the audio streaming (Spotify, YouTube, Podcasts, etc) but not bluetooth for calls (I just use the iPhone speaker for that). 

Seems to work much better just like this.

Hmmm maybe I should give that a try, I seem to remember there was a setting for audio and phone separately, is that correct?

For the moment I gave in and started using a USB cord instead, which of course works really well but I run into the problem that theres a warning message over the top of the info area on the screen that says something about no audio files found. Which is clearly wrong as its displaying whats playing on the screen behind it haha.

Yes, there are two settings - don't ask me where they are though!  I use a translator app on my phone.  Phone via speaker seems fine really.  It may actually work again via the car audio but I haven't tested it.  Overall it works better like this, i.e. when I used to use Siri it would pause and flick over to the car's audio and was clunky, but just for music it's a smoother experience.

Yo if anyone is still looking into this. This pops up when it happens for me. I think it's to do with carvings attempting to connect to the radio towers in Japan and failing. 

I set a setting to only connect when the car starts. 

Go to carwings 

Option 1 (information channel setting)

Option 1 (automatic time setting)

Option 3 (when engine starts)

 

Doesn't do it anymore and it was doing it every 5minutes (what the previous setting was to talk to radio towers.)

Happy uninterrupted Bluetooth Y'all!!

Hi mate, can you explain a bit further on how you get to these options etc? 
 

Thanks

Yeah I get that, but I’ve never seen those options come up. That’s what I was looking for clarification on.

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
