Actually, I would like to point out that I have only ever blamed the guy who installed the alarm in my car (useless prick), and to a very limited degree Phantom Motors/Jack for a few dodgy things on roadworthy and going against what I was told originally. I have no problems with any of the work Tas did on my car or the help he has given me.

Not trying to turn this into a pissing contest, but as my name was mentioned I just wanted to clear that up from my end bro :D

Also... did Adam ever get any work done there apart from a minor service?

So shouldnt you be rushing back to him to do some more work?? as apposed to hitting up Marto/Dan for help??

I'm leaving this issue before it turns into a shit fight.

also - as for Adam, I just know he too went elsewhere - I havn't kept in touch with him.

disclaimer:

I know I am dealing with John here - so I know that regardless of what I've said, I know I'll get some smart remark/pay out/thats waht she said/excuse/blah blah blah - but I dont really care.

take tristan's advice;

fronts: 19*9.5 +2, 255/30

rears: 19*10.5 -7, 275/30

Well since my name was mentioned here is my two cents,

I wasn't happy originally with the service Tas did on my car but after talking to him about it and the follow up service I received I was happy. I was also happy with the repair to my accelerator as well. I wasn't happy with the avcr simply because the intermitent noise I was hearing was faulsly reported as a bearing in the turbo due to over boost. It wasn't it is the throw out bearing in the gearbox. I adressed this with Tas. I accepted part responsibility and we moved on. Personally I think that Tas has done his best and my hat is off to him for going out on a limb and trying to start a business.

I ask him for advice about certain things and if he did have a shop I would take my car back there.

The End.

Lets build a bridge and move on.

John : apologies for the other week. Was a bit of a head f_ck on the weekend as my son (who I haven't seen in 7 years) was at my mums. So you'll forgive me if I was a bit out of form and not contactable for a while.

Martin : Presently I do not think I will be there on thursday. I will endeavour to get your parts to you somehow... possibly by swallow.

Does anyone know the airspeed of a un-burdened swallow ?

Tony I have some wheels sitting at my place that are my mates from Melb. Been at my place for a while.......... 12 months to be exact. Pretty sure he's happy for me to sell them. 17 x 8 and 17 x 9 with + 35 offsets. Have tyres too. Feel free to come and try them on.

Like I said man, not turning it into a fight or anything. I just wanted to speak up as my name was mentioned. Tas was actually busy dealing with his own cars when I was wanting more work done on my car, and Dan and Martin offered to help me. I'm on the fence for the whole thing and staying objective and have no problem staying friends with both parties who've done no wrong by me.

Phantom Motors however, can eat a dick.

I actually didn't think my other post sounded all that confrontational :whistling:

Those wheel doesnt look like GTC Tristan. GTC has fatter spokes. Anyway you going drifting next Friday? I'll probably come have a look if you are.

John: Hahaha... I havent been there for ages. Just thought of going there and get a couple of shots for the car. Afterall, I dont have a good camera nor is my camera skill any good.

Colin: You running pod filters?

See if you can coax the GABNR out of hiding. It'd save you getting aids from Harry's.

      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?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

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

      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.
