+1. not a bike person but yeah, that brutale is hardcore... why selling that one and not yr other bikes? Too expensive to run/keep on the road?

I'm just sticking to a plan. I've owned the bike 12 months and I allowed myself 12 months of ownership, then I'd sell it. Its never been a keeper, rather an Italian bike I wanted to say I owned at least once. My TL1000R v-twin sportsbike is getting some work done and will be back on the road soon. I've had the TLR for 8 years and its my fav and a keeper.

Comparing the Brutale with the TLR, is like comparing an Italian soccer player to a Grid Iron player. :woot:

Having said that, I am thinking about registering the Brutale a bit longer, as the TLR is taking some time to get the work done. Oh, and 'yes' the Brutale is far more expensive with on-road costs and servicing.

my seats and carpets need a really good clean otherwise i would do them myself.......and even tho its all getting re trimmed next month i do want the car to look somewhat decent when she goes to see Claude for a few weeks lol

no one touches the exterior of the car except me tho. ive had troubles before (autosalon 07) with the graphics...........and due to the nature and amount that is on atm, id rather make sure its done right.

ill be struggling to get this all done friday night, heres hoping it doesn't get too dirty on the way down there.

All I can suggest now damo is call this number 0448366938, his name is dave. Tell him your in the skyline club with me and he could still probably do you a deal for the day. Cant hurt to try?

Ok, i have just received my letter and entrant sticker for the big day. Didn't Cara say at vilis that she was going to have a meeting with use before the day? And as we are going in as a group display, we should all rock up at the same time...so any details at all?

As for cleaning, i have Friday off so I'm washing my car and then going to Troy's place to use his stuff :blush: , thanks Troy.

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • 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
