IIRC Samsung (if not wider Android) changed the bluetooth protocols around the S6/7 (ish) and it's not compatible with the module.

 

I seem to recall someone reached out to Nissan and Samsung, neither were at all interested in fixing it, so the only fix is an older Samsung, an iPhone or a new head unit/handsfree device. Or ditch all your friends so that no one calls you - at least no one you're interested in talking to.

I think the one I used was a nokia and I don't think they even exist any more?

I hate to break it to you but I had one in 2005 with the adaptor and in about 2008 swapped phones and couldn't get me new phone to pair, so ended up keeping the old phone in the car and swapping the Sim on long runs. 

I think your only other option is to replace the stereo.

Looked at it last year when it was for sale.....

 

Was thinking car is prob worth £7500 plus Ive been offered £350 for the number plate as I have my own reg to go - would be swapping off that front bumper and bonnet though.

Whats everyones thoughts?

Looks alright, I'd want to have a really good look around it in the metal though.

Look's great

Thanks all 

Hoping to get them built up next few days 

I'd wait until you've had a bit more sleep, you don't want to make an assembly error at this stage.

I will let you know how they feel. Just debating if to get them done now. Or wait till I bang the 4 new MPSS on ? Thinking new anchors with the new boots.

Technically the MPSS was replaced with the MPS4S although it is made in some sizes still, the MPS4 is close to MPSS and IMO the MPS4S is better than the MPSS.

Hi all, looking to buy new wheel spacers . Does anyone know the size i need to order. I guess forged auminum alloy is the way to go. thanks for the help.

Try http://www.willtheyfit.com, put your current wheel and tyre set-up in and then change the offset to match the change made by the spacers?

The spacer size will vary depending on what size and offset your current wheels have, spacers basically just change offset and increase poke.

If you're using spacers, get good quality hubcentric spacers from a reputable source.

Any information who can uprev tune my 350z in Ireland or anywhere in England you recommend.  All help welcome 

I can't see anyone listed on the UPREV website for Ireland or the UK.

It's a bit of a trek for you but I've always had good experience with Abbey Motorsport and take my Z down there from Leicester.

I had UPREV on my 370z and then went to ECUTek a few years later.

The centers are still A1 so before I go the refurb route I've ordered some paint stripper.

Going to spray a little on a brush and test it on a small section of the lip.

The clearcaot looks incredibly thin so hopefully not too difficult for the stripper to aid removal.

When whiteworm hit the diamond cut faces of my Kia's alloys, the lacquer came off in sheets bas thick as a screen protector!

 

Will post up pics of my progress.

Nothing to lose if I can't maintain the finish with regular cleaning and polishing by hand.

Sounds like a good call, as @davey_83 has suggested worth a try if you're happy doing it, can't be much harder than doing a headlight refurbishment which is next on my list.

Wow, continuing the epic build

You're correct you could blow something.

Have you pulled the old Bose amp set-up?

What wiring have you used for the new set-up?

It sounds like you've just put new wiring in for the sub?

If you've pulled all the bose stuff, you'll need to connect the the bose input cables to the correct output cables, otherwise your new head outputs won't actually get to the speakers.

Its not crazy complicated, just break it down into sections but you obviously need to have a complete circuit for you to get sound out of the speakers.

Hope this helps.

Good luck 

Yup, sorry to agree with everyone else, but lacquer peel and will need a refurb, it does seem odd that it's only on one wheel though.

Thank you, I will do in a couple of months, it’s standard now but is going in for modifications and respray in two weeks. Unlike the 370z here it needed TLC, but can’t wait 

Sounds interesting, I'll look forward to the reveal

Thank you everyone, it really is a lovely example, I know I’ll want another one day but can’t keep them all at the moment & I also can’t sell my 350Z as too much work has gone into that! I replaced this 370 with a MKIV Supra. Fingers crossed she will sell over Spring/summer

Wow, awesome, get some pics up

What are long term plans with the Supra? Is it already modded?

Here's a close up pic of the stock cats.  The weld looks too messy to be from the factory so they've been extended to fit the Y-Pipe?

Definitely looks like it has been extended. Time to find a Y pipe. 

GLWS, great cars

I use some slim line plastic ramps to get my jack under, then lift and put axles stands or big ramps under.

To be honest if I'm under the car for a while I set the ramps up like the pic, not my Z but you can see my S12 isn't going anywhere.

Im looking into replacing the front banana arms & lower control arms possibly the ball joints as well.  As they are not adjustable and i just want standard rubber bushing as poly i think would make the ride to stiff and i want to be comfy.

 

Would the generic parts be ok from ebay, from a trusted seller?

 

Ill be getting adjustable upper control arms for the front and rekon i can do most of it on jacks apart from the ball joints which ill be looking into.

As Jack94 said above, I'd get decent parts from a reputable trader, if they fail you end up doing the job twice, might as well buy once and get something that will last as least as well as the OEM part.

Bottle looks like an oil bottle

It's a no from me....

Strange you've had this issue, I've had them fitted to my 350z for a few months now and haven't noticed any flexing/bending. Maybe it's only a problem on the 370z 

Maybe my OCD kicked in on the panel gaps, it's opening the gap between bootlid and the lights by 3 or 4mm, a bit more higher up but it's hard to measure.

I'm hoping the softer springs work, he's said I should get them in a couple of weeks.

Have you got a link to the oem Nissan up rated  boot poppers @Sim I’ve been struggling with mine for years  and was thinking about the aftermarket ones until I’ve just seen this. 
I’ve got a factory fitted nismo N1 spoiler and I up rated the struts about 7 years ago, tried the penny trick too. I went to remove the boot weight but there wasn’t one or any sign one had ever been fitted, due to the factory fitted spoiler I’m guessing. 

What year is your car? The uprated Nissan ones were fitted on later cars anyway, I can't remember the date.

As per my other post, I've accepted the offer of trying softer springs, so I'll let you know how it goes.

Update2: 

So the guy has been very helpful at OpenTop.

I've explained the issue, sent some pictures and he's offered to supply slightly softer and lighter spring.

He did say the springs he's supplied will easy off but I'm not keen on the idea of flexing my boot to soften the new springs.

I've accepted the offer of some softer springs as my boot has stopped working again on the nissan poppers.

If the new Opentop springs don't work, I'll jusy buy another set of the uprated nissan ones as they won't have been subjected to the boot weight like my old ones.#

I'll update again soon.

Ordered a pair! Let's hope they work. I tried adding plastic washers to mine and it made a little difference but still not enough with the spoiler weight.

Out of interest how much did the OEM Nissan uprated springs cos please??

As per my edited first post, mine arrived yesterday and aren't any use, they do fit, but only sort of.

The spring doesn't compress enough and forces the boot up,although you can get it to close, it's actually deforming the boot lid.

If either of you haven't already done so, remove the bootlid weight and just get the Nissan up rated poppers, as my boot works fine now, I have a bigger wing and I also fittted uprated gas struts.
