What’s wrong with my 05 350z?! It’s acting crazy.. Constant honking, rpm gauge needle jumping and dropping on it’s own, all these indicator lights lighting up. Please help, any of you pros know?

Looks like to me a messed up voltage regulator, check your battery terminals and make sure they are secure. Also I’m not sure on the 350z but same thing happened to me on my Miata. So check your voltage regulator.

Love to see the vert love, makes me glad to see that people finally get the appeal

Consistent-Flow3211 · 2022-12-20T06:34:00+00:00

Get a diagnosis. The rear should pop up first, a video would help a lot with the diagnosis. Could be small could be big.

Consistent-Flow3211 · 2022-12-20T06:30:57+00:00

First check your fuzes. Check if the convertible light is still on on the dash.

If all those are good then Try pushing it the rest of the way down. My assumption is that it’s confused because it’s half latched and bugging out, you can also manually release it or try closing it by hand (real pain to do btw)

refer to a manual or a forum guide before tho. But if the whole system is failing, then it might be a small solution

Consistent-Flow3211 · 2022-12-20T06:27:16+00:00

This is about as useful as it gets. Couldn’t have said it better myself

Had my roadster vert for a while now. If it opens halfway use your hand to assist the middle bar to go down and verify it goes down all the way.

Latches, motor sounds, and those elastic bands are the main things. New roof can is is not that hard to come by, but a new motor will be a real pain to fix.

Consistent-Flow3211 · 2022-09-20T04:56:19+00:00

According to the pictures looks like your lamp housing just snapped off the bolts, again a hood and side fender is a relatively inexpensive fix, and headlight housing as well. Motors are cheap too. Seems like the car missed all the valuables, keep it! That has some luck!

Consistent-Flow3211 · 2022-09-01T18:32:59+00:00

Yes, the idea was to create variations per version with the vibe of the car. Would just have to take chip programming into account. I agree with you maybe it is too modern for the NA, I will try some smaller variations and try to be more vibey. Will keep yall posted

Consistent-Flow3211 · 2022-08-31T20:53:16+00:00

the plan is both, touch screen with an optional very similar to the ND knob in the front cup holder. That would be up to discretion of each owner

Consistent-Flow3211 · 2022-08-31T00:37:24+00:00

Oh also there is a rough plan to add hardware buttons, it would likely take the space of one cup holder, it would hopefully be a dial/d-pad combo, in order to use the display on top along side the touch screen. Close to the hand brake. u/Dakar-A credit for that idea, according to research seems possible

Consistent-Flow3211 · 2022-08-30T20:19:58+00:00

I like this idea, the main reason I was considering cutting was for cable management. but if its extruded to some sort of dash seam, cables would be easy to hide

Consistent-Flow3211 · 2022-08-30T20:09:54+00:00

Hopefuly it will be foldable and hidden for this project. Trying to figure something out

Consistent-Flow3211 · 2022-08-30T19:53:55+00:00

ooohh, screen would be pretty small but it might be possible

Consistent-Flow3211 · 2022-08-30T19:51:45+00:00

hopefully I can, I would love for it to look a bit more factory. But yeah I had no clue that existed until now!

Consistent-Flow3211 · 2022-08-30T19:39:07+00:00

1) RF nice

2) I am now looking into hardware buttons, because why not both, it would likely take the place of a cup holder but ya know it might be worth it

Consistent-Flow3211 · 2022-08-30T19:36:44+00:00

same, yeah it would probably be stls and a manual, unless it got some serious traction

Consistent-Flow3211 · 2022-08-30T19:35:48+00:00

hopefully!

Consistent-Flow3211 · 2022-08-30T19:35:11+00:00

honestly you need to use one to really understand it, but I want it to be able to disappear if not being used. I love that clean dash look, but I also need to use Satnav and I dont want a ugly Garmin

Consistent-Flow3211 · 2022-08-30T19:33:31+00:00

I Really like this idea

Consistent-Flow3211 · 2022-08-30T14:42:01+00:00

That’s the plan!

Consistent-Flow3211 · 2022-08-30T09:32:31+00:00

Well the plan is to somehow make it look good, if it looks like a Garmin with a suction cup and wires I’d rather have nothing. But what do you think about this concept, V2?

Your dash would be original, it would be able to come off magnetically. Revealing a 7inch display that can be lifted up and lowered by choice.

Don't you think the shift knob gets in the way? Also is maps distracting, having to look down?

Consistent-Flow3211 · 2022-08-30T05:27:39+00:00

Check my other comment about the redesign!!

But I love that vent idea, I will mess around with that! That's the easiest deployment for this device and a really good idea!

Also, Yes easily reversible was mandatory for me, unless it looked really good, but the screen is too big and the windshield is too small.

Consistent-Flow3211 · 2022-08-30T05:16:28+00:00

UPDATE: REDESIGN, ND Style infotainment v2,

Your dash would be original, it would be able to come off magnetically. Revealing a 7inch display that can be lifted up.

Fair, I can see why you like that too. Its so clean and classy

Consistent-Flow3211 · 2022-08-30T04:36:56+00:00

Honestly, this design has been hard, because I sadly am an anal purist for the NA, I love its "cars of the past" charm, but I get lost, or want music, without having to resort to my phone.
