Haha the noise was probably the water hitting the windscreen. there was a shitload of water thrown up so yeh could of easily been that. I feel better now knowing i wasnt the only one scared :D

Your car is very nice Miss*33. What mods have u done to it. I love the wheels. Just need to be lowered heaps, like mine :)

Thanks Enrico! - no mods really, just 3" cat back exhaust, air filter, 18s and thats it!!

Got the wheels from my b/f's dad - he had them sitting in the shed, he'd put them on a Tarago, did 2,000ks then sold the Tarago - they were the buy of the century - the tyres would have been worth as much as what I paid for them :)

I had my springs reset 30mm but they're not quite low enough - don't want to draw any more attention to my car at the moment with the way the cops are though - might just leave it for a while them slam it :D

Back to the cruise though, it was definitely the water hitting the windscreen - it wasn't just spray it hit hard causing the loud noise:)

Nah all was fine my passanger couldnt handle the noise in the back any longer, combo of the wastegate noisy 540's and the fuel pump. I found the right hand lane hade more grip it had less truck traffic than the left, still not nice weather for it

Enrico we don't all have the luxury of having adjustable coilovers!! :D

We shoulda taken the ones out of my b/f's bro's 33 when he sold it :D - Don't worry Stang if u read this, we didn't!! :)

I only had them reset 30mm for starters - I'll go lower but I'll wait til the defect blitz is over :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.
