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.

This either either totally unhelpful or maybe half helpful depending how you look at it....but I remember a thread on the same question in the last year or 2, so have a look back a bit deeper in this forum

Just following Duncan's lead on possibly not being very helpful.

What happens when you select Pair Phone?

If the previous pairing got corrupted for whatever reason and the car can pair new devices, you need to go to the phone's bluetooth settings and forget the previous pairing. Then pair again.

Apologies if this is obvious.

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.

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.

But most Bluetooth issues found by the above are with the audio breaking up or stopping.

This is still not working! and every time I get a call while I am driving it grates me knwoing it used to work.

I read or saw some youtube suggestions of rebooting the system, by holding down the status (I think its the middle button on the left, but I have tried just about all with the power button) & power button for 190 sec, but I didnt seem to get it to work. It may be only Infinity G37'w. Has anyone done a reboot on the 370GT? Mine is 2008.

One thing I have been meaniog to try, and it is the kinda the event that I think triggered it. I didnt drive my car for 2 months, and the battery went flat. If I dont drive it for a week, the battery is always totally charged. Maybe I left the internal light on IDK. So I am thinking of disconnecting the battery for an hour or so, and checking if that helps/corrects it. but its a hail mary.

Any other ideas? I am truly hoping the Bluetooth module hasnt been damaged in anyway by the slow discharge. Nothing comes up on the ODBII scan, and I found the system info page, and it implied the bluetooth was ok/present

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
