haha well the ones in my sig are the same, except they are locally made and supported, and nice and cheap at 350 brand new.

HKS do have a different model though, the drag adapter gives a constant front/rear split up to 50/50 - which is needed for drag since all the other controllers do not change the standard system in a straight line, only in corners

better not be lol....got a link?

50/50 split is not recommended for the same reason our controllers shouldnt be run on max for long periods of time......the transfer case is just not designed to slip for that long and it overheats really badly....we had trouble at targa last year on the mount arrowsmith stage, 100klm in the wet with heaps of front torque it overheated.

no problem for 10 seconds down a drag strip though

as duncan said....it tends to pooh itself! it'll do 1/4 ok but unless you break traction all the way, you wont need that kind of split. I only bought the HKS stuff cos none of these bastards made any local ones at the time (refering to duncan and dirtgarage). Now its just wank factor!

off topic, but can you fit a cooler to it so it doesnt over heat??

hmm interesting....

they are definately not the controller we sell, at I guess I would think they are a direct copy of the Julian Edgar autospeed design.

But I note....

Their price doesn't include postage, instruction manual or connectors.

Control is via an analogue dial which we rejected early during development...they are too difficult to accurately change while driving...our up and down digital buttons and readout are more effective.

And of course without comparing them back to back I can't say whether it works as well, we have done a heap of work on calibration as well.

But I would guess it works on the same principle as ours, and would also make a big difference compared to standard

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
