cheers DC. yeah that was from last night, Josh had his 33 out as well which was doing mid 12 also, his is much better to look at than mine though.

Was hanging out to do this, got some Nitto's off MattR not long ago but just have too much and have the Time-Attack coming up on the 11th June (pending weather) - and a little weary with the gearbox/drive-train prior hence had to make late decision to miss it :( plus it got shifted from original date which was the killer... but great time and that is a good reaction time as many have noted! Can hardly wait till the next one!

Only photo Ive got until Lukey puts some up from the drags, tell your Mrs thanks for the pic nelson.lol

Managed a best of 12.7 @ 120.1mph, 2.5 60ft. has the power, just need the traction, wasnt too keen to drop the tyre pressure too much with cheap 235s on a 9.5"rim. I know this isn an ideal drag set up, but i was keen to know what it would run how i drive it everyday on the street with no changes. I think ill attend the july 1/4 with some drag radials and stock suspension to boot.

I just looked through my timeslips and my best 60' in the S15 was 1.902 - and sadly that wasn't on my fastest run. I never ran on drag radials - I now wish I had tried some back in the day, as I always spun some through 1-2 and 2-3 gear changes. Helps that the S15 was only 1,250kg too :)

^^ Someone changes their rims....Look like Enkei light-weight :P Good to see 3 skylines in the same pic

Thanks again DC

Would be good if more imports go out, i was getting tired of the big blocks passing me on 2 wheels :( Going to get some prices on drag radials soon and pretty sure ill be out for the july street meet.

The enkeis are sweet, aggressive stance on it looks awesome.

Luke has his pics up, there are a few of yours.

Haha harsh, I didnt know that threads in the SA section meant that others were unwelcome??

I obviously posted my other car in here a while back, and this was still in my "my content" list, with a new post, therefore I posted my recent aquirement

Go ahead and delete it if it is that much of an issue :s

Nah it's not an issue mate - I was just wondering how anyone from another state even found their way into the SA forums, that is all. And I did say your car was pimp :)

    • 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.
