I think we should all take our turbo's off when we go on cruises so there is no temptation to drive our cars as they should be driven. Shame on us all....

The problem isn't in people driving the cars as they should be driven. The problem is people driving them how they shouldn't be driven. And the biggest problem is that so many people don't know the difference between the two because they don't know either the limit of their own driving ability or their cars performance ability.

Yeah... AT A TRACKDAY NOT A PUBLIC ROAD

Winton Trackday on 25th November was a good one thank you Ash :)

During the previous GOR cruise, there were already a few drivers who drove dangerously. Cutting into traffic from the opposite direction at corners.

Suggestions can be:

1) Warnings sent out to the respective drivers which gone out of hand

2) A briefing about Do's and Don'ts before the cruise commences.

Well I would not consider any of that example to contain any wrong behavior!

All cars were safely on their own side of the road and none went over the centreline coming around the corner at a reasonable speed.

The only issue was the "f" word when you thought some were going to pull in and stop! :nyaanyaa:

To be honest I have avoided some of these runs because I know sometimes my adrenelin can get going and thats when stuff happens if its going to happen.

But thats because I have not done to many DECA's or Track days for a while to get it out of my system and get to know my and the cars abilities better.

The people on this run that let their head go a bit will realise who they are and should say to themselves..

-I WILL JOIN SAU and get my head together by doing it on a racetrack under safe controlled conditions! (and have the most fun in a Skyline with your pants on!)

How about it Daniel, and you to Adam!

Is this aimed at me? If it is, I'm not even 18 yet! :spank: I'll be getting my licence mid January (hopefully pass) so will be signing up soon. Don't worry. If it wasn't aimed at me then..... my bad. :P

im actually really looking forward to joining SAU and meeting new people and going on the official cruises. i think no matter what there is always somebody that doesn't think and will do something silly and thats because they are probably running on adrenaline. i think every car should have classical music playing in there car you will be too calm and relaxed to to do anything stupid :rofl: . my car probably won't fit in with all you guys and girls cause mine is completly stock and i think that is a good enough excuse to fix it up a bit, woohoo time to spend some money!!

      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".

      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.
