I was of the understanding it was party time at your place...

yes thats what i hear too :laugh:

No one cares about skylines anymore, I think a MX5 with and angry rotary sound would get heaps more attention

Well from those who know somthing about cars anyway, the GTR will still pick up lots of 16 year old boys who think GTRs are invincible.

The conversion has been done before, I think thay had a few problems findin a gear box that fits but apart from that everything was sweet

ur a hater >_<

I still cannot believe IanB is giving GTS-T's a hard time after his pwning last night!! I had to slow down to 60k's and wait a full 30 seconds for him to catch up on the twisty bits coming down from Nebo to Samford. Just face facts Ian, the GTS-T is just as good when it isn't raining!!!!! My car is heavier and has less power but the suspension work is where the gains come on the twisties!!

put the same mods on both a gtr and gts-t and then go back racing...

I see your point Shane, but what choices are made by owners and in which direction they go is entirely up to them. Some (most) want straight line speed while others want a car that handles. I have opted for a little from Collumn A and a little from Collumn B.

And I'm still not happy with some aspects of my car (don't mention the paint!)

You are spending a motza on your engine and taking a long time to do it, but have you done any work on the handling??

this was the exact same questions thrown at me from Anna when i first started moddin the car.

i only recently notice how much work needed to be done to suspension because of the down force on the rear stock suspension.

the only reason i touched the engine is that 2 weeks after i bought it, it went bang! i always intended on doing the 3ltr conversion (i just happened to have a block in the shed waiting) and i thought im not doing it again, so may aswell do it while its out.

also i'll have the suspension and brakes upgraded by the feb 2 track day >_<

but in all honesty, i woulda loved to have kept my gtst, and looking back at pictures of it, im thinking about buying it back :laugh:

Dave...

I went slow on the samford leg for quite a few reasons... I was out of fuel and very out of breaks. Besides, once you go past jollies you get into nebo village and there are a fair few people there sleeping / living there, I like to keep the speed down through there so as to not piss them off.

Will see how it all go's once I get the coilovers and break upgrades in.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      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".

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      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.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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.
