Hey guys,

Just picked up the latest edition of tarmac magazine...

Its a good read but what interested me was the article in the back page.... check it out.

Its an interview with Jim Richards talking about the Bathurst race where the 32 GTR won but crashed on the last lap to bring on the famous "PACK OF ARSEHOLES" speech.

Just a heads up.... also WTF has happened to ignition DVD???

The Ignition DVD is being sold seperate now, due to the contract ending and the Magazine Company (which handles Hot4's, HPI, etc) didn't want to renew the contract.

You can find the DVD in Newsagents (if they stock them) or find them at Autobahn for around $15.

This is why HPI and Hot4's now have 2 extra issues with their current issue, to fill the gap that the DVD has left!

It's a shame, but the Magazine Company simply didn't want to renew the contract!!

No idea? I know after the contact ended, HPI must have felt bad, because the next issue they had a article near the front of the mag saying how awesome the Ignition DVD is.

Apparently a 'GTR Special' Ignition DVD was released recently? But I can't find it!

I read alot of the British bike mags now. Their antics are hilarious sometimes, and articles are always interesting. Aussie mags are just lame and all recycle the same story, like each has the same editor and journos. Same reports on the same jap bikes. And their opinions on diff bikes get in the way of a real verdict of the bikes. Boring. Wouldn't touch Two Wheels if my life depended on it either. :P Plus the British mags report a little more on the BSB and other euro bike races, as well as real road tests on real affordable gear.

My brother gets the Heavy Duty and Lowrider mags ... so I read them when I use his loo :P

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      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".

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      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.

      By Duncan · Posted

      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.
