The missus is interested in anouther Val for cruising (i wanted a 32gtr, she said no, lol) and im spending more on mine, so sadly i must decline.

Ive now put the original seat back in, and the Daytona OBX seat and rails are for sale seperatly :down:

Got another thread somewhere.....

Hi Chris, since you sold the seat separately, I just wondering if you want to sell your Bilstein and whiteline suspension separately??? I have the stock r33 gts-t suspension sitting in my garage, I can swap with ur bilsteins plus cash, I also have a set of tein coilovers, I can swap that too, if you r interested, plz let me know. Good luck with the sale. Cheers

Richard

G'day Richard,

Thanks for the post mate, I'd rather keep the bilstien shocks and whiteline springs in there, as a few reasons, I dont have the time right now with work and other comittments to put the stock suspension in, and the stock suspension would be a bit old for it now. I think one of the points of the car as a selling point, is the suspension itself!

Its already set up fr a twisty road, or the track!

thanks for the offer anyway mate,

cheers,

Chris

Mate if this was 2 months ago, i would have snapped it up, but already purchased an R33, bit annoyed yours has more mods :D

good luck

Spewing!!! Although I did post it up 2 months ago, just not at this price!! Ah well, all good cam!! Know anyone who wants it?? LOL

Tell me bout it Ryan!

I dont know people buy 9-10k shitters and mod them when they can have this for 13.8! with nothing to spend!!

So I was thinking...

sure, people can buy a cheap, fair condition R33 for say 9-10k with basic mods, such as exhaust and FMIC and maybe springs or shocks.

you might drive it for a while, think its ok, but then you'll get the urge to do the ECU, more boost, need a better ride - suspension. Also you may need to fix some panels.

you boost it up and stock turbo cries enough - fork out more money for a better turbo - your 9-10k faily crappy R33 has turned into a 15k minimum car, which would still need some TLC

Mine on the other hand, you get an R33 which is in very very good condition, has nothing to spend on suspension, nothing to spend on the body, nothing to spend on power, the only thing someone may want to spend money is the stereo....but...thats a different street....

The car has always been serviced by a top sydney workshop, no expence spared.

So for 13.6k - you are getting a, absolute bargain!!!!!

The car looks near standard from outside, which doesnt attract unwanted attention.

It has the power to run 12's at WSID and put down some good lap times if you decide to track it.

So, why do people buy these 9k shitters in the first place?

I dont get it?

Anyway - 13.6k ONO :laugh:

    • 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.
