hehe...yer, its a bit like that :D

Rang up yesterday. I was expecting a few weeks, but Con said mine should be ready sometime next week! woot! I was expecting 3 weeks or something, so pretty happy its a lot less than i expected. Hopefully its all sweet and as good as when i bought it (if not better)

They cut me a good deal on my grill and bumper, so that is all getting done too at the same time. Finally no more greyness !

  • 3 weeks later...
  • 3 weeks later...

need to go and visit and see how my babys going... need to see if they can get it done in the next couple of weeks... i need my car back the soarers driving me mental!! but at the sametime still fun to drive :)

Hey you're not driving a falcon that won't go above about 40km/hr up a hill, the head gasket is probably about to bust at any moment, and well I hate holding up traffic!! that is NOT fun anymore :)

My mate was in hysterics when he drove it the other day :)

Mine should be back in a few days I think.. go remind them to chase up that suspension place where it is atm!

its outside their shop without the front bar man i pass it every day :) i am going down tomorow to see when mines going to be ready.... i want it back :)

will ask con about ur one gords :)

Gordon - was just down at palm... my car should hopefully be ready in 2 weeks max :( ur car however is waiting on the front bar... suspensions been done its been sitting and waiting for a few days cause the front bar is ***t man.

there are cracks all thru it which will show up thru the entire paint job and con says he doesnt really want to paint it and have it leaving there looking like that. Honestly man id get a new front bar... maybe not something as low as that either... or just get a new 400r bar i spose... but the one thats their doesnt look crash hot.

hehe shes outside enjoying the sunshine :) very shiney i must say... dropped off the mesh and my car will be ready by next week... i cant go down until next friday anyways so thats whe i will be picking her up... give her the thrashing she so loves and then parking it for another 2 weeks until i pay my rego :D

hehe hey pred i seen ya car again today... looks pretty much the same :( theres a nice 350z down there now and im pretty sure i seen the rear end of my car.. which looked painted :D might pop down before work and take a look :D

    • 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.
