Sounds like you wish you guys had brought a GTR now?

:dry: Not after seeing everyone we know that has one, never EVER be able to drive it. I was merely pointing out the stupidity in your thoughts on a 'GTR never getting sideways' :P

Just out of interest how much did.....have you spent on the rebuid?

The original goal was 250rwkw for under 10K. That was successful. Next instalment was new engine, and upwards of 270/280rwkw for under 15K. And it looks as thought it's gonna happen :D

*sigh* Friday afternoon... what to do, what to do...

hey daz, did u get your car fixed up?

yeah its back on the road now, did all the crossmember and stuff my self, just had to pay $100 to get the mechanic across the raod from work to come put it back together bcoz i was almost done at 4pm on a sunday and the engine mount was broken, so i coudlnt get one till themonday and i had to get it outta work on the monday so i got him to do it while i was actually working. but its all good now, just sorting out a few suspension things atm, i need new shocks, they are rooted, but they been like that for a while.

anyway i found a party at a mates house im going to, havent seen em in like 1 year so im gonna catch up, theyre old school buds. :)

dont u mean new engine for the 32? :)

well the adapter plate now only lines up with 4 out of ~10 holes in the sump. so now i'm gonna make my own adapter plate up and that way i know it'll be right! so it's gonna be a busy weekend, back and forth into work so i can get a CAD file made up to give to a laser cutting place on monday.

do you know of any gtr's that have their sump off or anyone that has a gtr sump sitting around? i want to see if the plate fits on another sump

Yes i suppose it was a pretty stupid statement.

And that isnt really what i want to hear about people not being able to drive them! Why is that?

    • 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.
