Yeh I got it from Nisswreck.

I have the money for paint and manual conversion.

Which will hopefully be happening next week.

Any places to go for a manual conversion and a good place to get it sprayed??????????

Marky Mark from ET can get the conversion kit and install it for me for $2385.

Can anyone get me it done for a better price??? If not then im ok with paying mark the said money as I know he wont screw me over.

Anyway cheers for the comments ppl.

Keep them coming. I hope to be the first R32 Sedan in SA with Panda paint job.

Yeh lunaticR32, I no ur car and lindos. See ur car all the time and lindos at the drift comps. I like urs alot and lindos is just freaking awsome. He still hasnt given me the full run down on his car.

New update to my car.

Getting painted at MC Doyles.

Full respray in Panda style.

Hopefully Mike & the boys can make this look mint like all the other cars they work on.

Costing me a bit, But i am glad Mike went through with me what i ahve to get done and what needs to be done to make it looking nice.

The intrusion bars are starting to rust away, they need to be powder coated and the bolts hilding them in are rusting away aswell. So they need to be replaced.

Anywho. Ryan PM Sent. Cheers.

"66 skyline gt". I have gone from a 4 door 1979 Datsun Skyline to a 4 door Nissan R32 skyline. Alot has changed in 10yrs i have to say.

Yes a cruise is needed, as i need to meet some of u guys.

Maxx: Mike said the same thing about the kit, but i would rather paint the car now and once i have enough get the kit and paint it then. Im in no rush to get it looking VIP or drift pig styles.

I am only 18.

Anywho I say Cruise baby Yeh. But not till I get the white mofo painted and converted ot manual. Will be going to Kansai very soon to get prices.

G'Day Brent,

Should look great after you get your paint job done.

Out of curiosity, what are MC Doyles quoting you for your paint job? Are they basically just painting the top half of the car or are they doing the whole car again?

I need some work done on my 33 sedan soon and was wondering whether they were worth approaching. One of the guys there has a nice black 33 sedan from memory.

Cheers,

Mike

    • 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.
