Drivers window will not come up but i will try get this fixed before sale (its not an electrical issue , the cable has tangled around the pulley), if the price is right and if i find time.

Ring me anytime , If i do not answer send me a msg and i will get back to you as soon as i can.

Price is negotiable for a quick sale , or i will lower the price and keep the rims.

All the cylinders have been commpression tested. The issue occured on startup and no whilst being driven ,i have had 3 mechanics come have a look at it before my mate and i started to strip the engine in prep for the rebuild. The car was only running 8 psi of boost at the time of the issue. Their is no metal in the oil which from what ive been told would be a head gaskett not a shattered piston or cracked block. Aslo the mechanics went over the car whilst the car was running and told me its a head gaskett as well as they have also come back and done a bit of work stripping the engine and still say its the head.

Any written mechanical reports done by workshop/mechanic (not your mate) as evidence it’s only a head gasket?

What wheels are you putting on to replace the gold ones for a lower price?

I have an offer in mind, however it maybe insulting to you, as to be honest it’s more of a gamble box of bits currently.

PM me if you want to discuss more I guess.

put compressed air in cyl 5 and a vac hose into cyl 6 up to your ear, should be a hiss for the head gasket leak. Otherwise broken ring lans between the top and 2nd ring only loose compression but won't leak hardly any oil until the 2nd to oil retainer skirt breaks.

Will most likely be putting standard GTR rims back on or other wise i will put 19s on but the price wont go down as much. The car never went to a workshop , so im not sure how to get formal paperwork. But ill speak to the mechanics and see if they can get one through their workshop.

    • 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.
