So what box are you going to go...how much power are you intending to make? The os giken and ppg gearsets have been used in some pretty high hp cars that do regular track days. You aren't going to go with something dog engagement are you, talk about spending your weekends stripping down your box to check everything out after a day at the track....no thanks.

800bhp is what i've speced everything else to, but prolly be lucky to make 750bhp. i know theres some pretty decent hp cars usin the os kits, but then theres just as many people who have broken os kits. Also from what i've seen you only strip down a dog box after a year of racing, just to check it then.

I dont know, from what I researched when I was looking at boxes, dog boxes are very high maintenece, especially if driven on the street as they don't select gears well. Also unless you opt for billet selectors they have an even shorter life span. I am pretty sure SydneyKid was saying they strip their boxs after almost every race meet as it's necessary to check for problem components...and iirc he was talking about how they had to replace items rather regulary as they started to wear down. I think they are perfect for track only cars, but a bit of a problem for street driven cars.

periodic maintenance far outweighs the need for a complete replacement if u do smash an os set, @~5k for a ready to go os 5speed

plus theres the likelyhood of this gtr becoming a track only car, i can see it happening

From a back yard car to a track only car. Thats quite a contrast :domokun:

there's a more recent article on the ppg dog boxes....

yeah i read that, and i aint goin ppg lol, i've seen 1 ppg break, and whitnessed issues with another on the weekend (the later bein a 2 weekend old box, the other a 2 yr old box)

all I can say is I can't wait to see and go for a ride in your car once its finished Shane!!

i'll be the first to say it...youll be waitin a while lol. the engine's nearing finish time and startup, but theres the suspension side and braking side i gotta take care of before i go spastic with driving it in anger

all good things take time....or lots of money.

you know you can drive when you can drive with a dog box too....good bragging rights :P

that and coupled with a super light twin setup :P

Im looking foward to racing it :)

it'll be interesting to see indeed!

i would say u'd have me from down low, but seeing a result with a built 26/30 coupled with a TO4z from UK, 1bar by 3200rpm on the run in tune, i reckon i'll be on song very early! :domokun:

    • 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.
