The car has been in the country for a while then as that rule was abolished shortly after mine came in on it in 2004 ish?

Edited - actually I seem to remember something about still being able to bring cars in that were up to that 15 year age but it wouldnt continue in the way it had but being able to import a 1990 in 2005, then a 1995 car in 2010 etc. It was just up to 2004/2005 I think.

Without knowing with 100% certainty, I would say no. The car didnt come from the factory like that (or did it?)

i herd u can get away with few things when cimplying under 15yo rule as that the importer complied it the car way much befor the 15yo rul eneded so he had it for long time just want to know if i could get away with putting fiberglass front guards or would i have to put them on after comply lolz

What car?

The 15yr old rule was trashed from memory, and hence regardless of it being landed...

It must still be complied then under the law, not 3 years later under a rule that no longer applies. (using the 3yrs as example)

Compliance is "bringing in" in terms of what your talking about.

oh sorry lol forgot to put down what my car is lol its a 1989 - 1990 R32 gtst and has the papers brought in under 15 yo rule

    • 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.
