So, I'm planning on replacing my turbos soon which is a bit of a bastard to do and while I was just going to use jack stands on the driveway, I started wondering if there is some space with a hoist I could rent in Sydney for a few days. There is a place in Campbeltown but its about $300 for the day and is 1.5hrs from me. It'll be two or three days I'd assume for me to do it. I also need to do oil pan and both these jobs requires dropping the subframe.

Sorry this happened @Zabuza. Not much we can do unfortunately, looks like the IP's used were in the states. The account has been banned but not deleted so we still have access to the PM's if we need them. We will be putting a PM restriction on all accounts until they've posted 15 times. Hopefully will help us weed out any more scammers as the SAU'ers will be prompt to report any dodgy posts.

"You can drive on" What a trooper. 🫡

Seriously? I mean, where does it end?

Bah. Cop out.

I can't wait to learn how it performs. It looks awesome. I shared this on insta but couldn't fit it all in!!

I've been following. I'm excited though I hate the new name. Which makes no sense anyway considering it's going to be bi directional! 🤣

The problem is, its very easy to go too far and the car can't be driven at low speeds because the throttle is so sensitive. So it takes a bit to find the happy medium. It has like 40 preset levels which is dumb. It also has an eco mode which is like the car is being pushed by 4 midgets.

Yep, thats exactly what it is. Just changes the signal.

'Controller' is probably a little too liberal. It alters your inputs to fool the throttle. It does enough for me, but yeah there are loads of aftermarket electronics out there. I have an MHD tune at the moment and it has some throttle stuff in there too and I'll investigate it eventually.

Ahhh, so I missed the, now clearly important, previous post about the shift to DBW. 🤦‍♂️

Yeah I'd agree with this. I have a throttle controller in the 335 and I've temporarily put it in the X5 and 330i and its pretty interesting how it can change things. That said, the controller doesn't remove BMW's "Driver adaptations" which is their way of manipulating the throttle based on what they "think" you want. I wonder if there is a DBW -> Cable conversion kit. 🤔 EDIT: I made the adaptations sound shit. They're absolutely not and BMW does a good job here, its just sometimes I'd like a bit more "direct" control.

What was the reason for the pedal swap?

That looks very cool.

I'm going to try. I'll see if I can talk my daughter into coming.

👍 ?

Poor FRYLNE needs a hug! I can't help with what else is needed but the others will reply soon.

Stunning. Thats a lifer if ever I've seen one. 👍

Theres not many things better than white R32's. Car is gorgeous. Welcome to

Hi Christophe and welcome! Yep, as Duncan said there are lots of topics on the RB30 conversions. Where would you source and RB30 block though? Was anything delivered locally with this engine? Car looks great!

If you join online and do the time trials they pay a lot! I'm getting 1M credits weekly by getting silver in the time trials. 2M for gold (which is far too difficult for me).

Do we need to RSVP for this, Sam?

Holy jesus, what about one of these?

One of these for example; https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2010-infiniti-g37-s-auto/SSE-AD-14638891/?Cr=0

I'm kinda outside my comfort zone here but is there any english Infiniti models that have the same screen? You could at least get english this way even if not the sat nav. Otherwise you could still consider getting an android one. The one I have in my E90 is actually pretty good. I just use Android Auto on it and if I want to I can display live data from my OBD2 dongle. (That said, don't buy a no name one or one with not much memory, I had one before this that was absolutely terrible and thankfully I was able to get a refund)
