ROLL CALL!

my brothers formal is on tuesday night - and as he was discussing a few weeks ago he was hoping if we could all do a drive thru for him

he wants to get there at 6 and its being held at the hilton in the city

hopefully some of you guys can help him out :D

This tuesday? damn, wish you'd asked a couple of days ago :)

I'll try to get out of cricket, but it will depend how many people want to play

GTS4 ? ? ? Is that the AUS made RB20det wit 4wd ? ? ?

JDM

The GTS4 is essentially a poor man's GTR. When Nissan released the GTR, the Japanese folk who lived in the mountainy areas with the rough roads and snow and crap really wanted them, but couldn't afford them. Nissan built an RB20 powered, heavier version of the GTR. The GTR uses all the fancy aluminium parts for some panels, and running gear etc. The GTS4 uses steel. So basically: it's the standard GTST body (so not wide body like the GTR), with the ATESSA 4WD from the GTRs, single turbo RB20.

GTS4s are less common because it is hard to find ones that aren't rusted out due to all the snow and salt.

Whats planned for it? I have such a soft spot for gts4's. More so when rb20's are kept.

The little motor that could!

For now, probably just a brake and turbo upgrade. HICAS lock out, drift switch. Cosmetic changes.

Down the track I'm going to look at a different engine (maybe a 26)

If I have my car by then, I will. If I don't... well let's just say I aint walking.

    • 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.
