I've done it with an R31 and same principals should apply.

My recollection, you need one or two pins and their slide on plates to stop the pins from falling out. Don't loose em.

Should be a case of balancing the bottom of the door on a box at the right height and doing the bolts on the hinge of the door/body up with a spanner, then connecting the wires pods up.

If you're doing it by yourself then I reccomend balancing the door on a stable object while in the right position for you to do the hinge bolts up. don't lose the metal slips for the pins either!!!

I think that's what it would be like but I haven't done this to a DR30, only MR30's and R31's of the sedan caliber.

Hope I didn't forget any crucial facts!!! :S

firstly the R30 doors are pin type hinges so as long as you haven't removed the hinges from the body then the doors will go on fine

(do not attemt to put it on your self it is possible but you ar just as likely to put a nice dent or scratch in your car or your nice new door)

get some one to hold the opposit end of the door to the hinge you hold the hinge end and guide it in to the hinge on the chassie get the other person to tilt the door up or down to line the holes up and you bash the pins in if the door dosen't latch properly you might just have to adjust the striker plate abit (the u shaped thing on the pillar that the door latches to)

im a pannel beater so that info is corect

    • 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.
