T.A.S was amazing this year. The quality and depth of the show in terms of cars, girls and presentation was awesome. i personally though it was much better overall than last year.

2 full days would be ideal at an event like this but i only had sunday. Poida and I met a friend of ours and had an absolute balst.

Here are some pics..

ENJOY!

I was a bit let down. could have gone for 3 days but instead just went on friday morning and stayed till about 2pm (was packed from 1 onwards as general admission starts at 1).

I really think it gets a bit less every year.

I must agree... Auto-Salon is always a good show (in Japan) but for the past three years that ive gone, i have to say there seems to be a trend of it going down each time. This year (and last) companies like Veilside didn't show.. A lot of companies who were there last year also didn't come this year and a lot of those who came last year put the same cars up on display.. It's a little disappointing to say none the less, but Auto-salon will always be auto-salon. I hope that some of the big makers start to release some good sports cars in the future, otherwise the Salon will continue to get less and less interesting.. I have more to say, but i'll say it when i post my own pics up later today or tomorrow..

yes, I was thinking a lot of the mediocre cars from last year were back again, but some of the good cars that I would have liked to see again (MCR GTR, Kagotani GTR, Saurus GTR, Sunline GTR) weren't there. I'm sure those cars would have been further developed and I would like to see it.

I think a lot of the tuning companies are starting to feel the pinch a bit and can no longer justify the $$$ to wheel out the big cars year after year.

make no mistake though. If you put it on it's own it was still an awesome show. It's just that I can't help but compare it to previous years.

    • 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.
