yeah, I'd remove that split pin or it could get pretty messy.
bring the two "split ends" together with screwdriver/pliers whatever (so it's straight again), then pull it out from the non split end

One of us is tripping balls, because I see no split pin in that photo :S

Dumb question - how does it remove? Pry the squashed bit up with a screw driver.... then what?

Ravi, it look to me like that squashed bit is the equivalent of the split pin, ie it stops the nut spinning. Once you pry it up with a screwdriver so that it will no longer interfere with the nut spinning, you should be able to take the nut off in the usual fashion.

Unless of course there IS a split pin, then you'll need to remove that as well.

just checking in

Touge?

Ahh, I think I see what may be a split pin now. Hard to tell from that pic. Demand MOAR pics, high quality.

Yeah I don't think it is a split pin as such more of squashed something over the bolt. Flat blade screw driver or some long nosed pliers would be my guess and try to pry it apart. If nothing else works set it on fire.

Fire solves all, I hear.

Screwdriver didn't work. Just bent the ducker lol. Will try needlenose pliers this arvo I guess. Sigh.

    • 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.
