  1. I made a mistake when I changed my coupe for a roadster. I’d just fitted an Invidia system and I didn’t manage to swap it over.

    The standard box is so fluffy and quiet I got rid and put my spare Tarmac Sports resonated short tails on. A quick and easy fix and it sounds crisp and it breathes. After a year I’d like it a ‘tad’ quieter and less resonant. Ideally I’d pop a Cobra box on but all this stuff is expensive now. Any tips for me on this? I wondered about bandaging the short tails or putting another resonator in further forward.

    Comments welcome, even the sarcastic ones.

    Where’s the head unit input for the back up camera?. I’m using the AUX input now but I lose the picture when car is moving because it has two devices to stop transmission when car moves.

    Thanks

  3. 2011 Roadster. I fitted front and rear camera using the auxiliary input socket. It worked but cut out when the car moved. Nissan don’t like the facility to be used for DVDs so there is a circuit interrupter by the handbrake stoping the auxiliary circuit working when the handbrake is off. That’s easy, I’ve put a bypass in it, but it still cuts out when the car moves so the sneaky blighters must have put another cut out device somewhere. Any suggestions?

  4. I have a 2011 Roadster with a 15mm cut in the fabric and a very small bit of stitching damage on a seam (see pics). No leaks.

    The roof works fine and the top is in good condition with no stains or wear and tear. Wishful thinking I expect but I think it’s probably been refurbed at some point.

    Any advice please on repairing it? I don’t know how to get under the fabric to fix it that way. I thought maybe mask it tight and put some sealant in the damaged threads.

  5. Just a quick update. I had a close look at how the open and close operation works, particularly at the heavy hinges on the lid. The lid wasn’t coming down evenly both sides. I sprayed them with WD40 and rocked the lid a bit. Then I found if I stopped and started it as the opening process completed it was fine.

    I’ve used it a few times since and it all works perfectly, but I’m pausing as it closes to check its aligning the lid ok. So far so good. Stiff hinges then? We’ll see how it goes.

    Thanks

  6. Lots of good tips here. The roof is in good shape and it works fine apart from the lid shutting correctly on one side when opening finishes. It looks like a mechanical adjustment to me but we’ll see when I’ve had a poke around. First step might be a visit to Caymen for a diagnosis if I can’t figure it out.

  7. Thanks. An expensive problem then. It’s under warranty but I’d be pleasantly surprised if the roof was covered, the sales chap said it was but he would wouldn’t he.

    Cayman isn’t far away so I might ask them to take a look.

    I’ll take another look at it tomorrow.

     

    Thanks

  8. Sorry about this, my second question in two days, but I have only had the car a few weeks.

    At the last phase of opening the roof, the lid (tonneau) is not closing completely and stays open a couple of inches. by raising and lowering a couple of times, I can usually get it to shut down.. Doesn’t always do it and it doesn’t do it when closing the roof.

    I found a problem and you can see it in these two photos. It’s a new one on me, haven’t seen it before, but one side of the lid seems to come forward too far. and it’s catching on the trim.

    Any ideas please?

    Very easy to difficult depending on where the cut is.

    Its not on a seam. It’s in between bows near the driver’s window just about mid way

  11. 2011 roadster has three rca input sockets in the centre console. One for video and two for audio. I’m using the video one for reversing camera but I believe it will only work when handbrake is applied. There must be a way round that, anyone know how to bypass it?

     

    Thanks
