He hasn't been back at my place since, and haven't heard anything, so am hoping that's the end of the matter.

thats the going rate. I will have one here tomorrow night if you do no good there. Mint. (hate that word)

My guess would be a light automotive course. Seems like every new apprentice we get these days is a knuckle dragger too lazy to do a decent days work

Ok so i went to my local tyre shop this arvo. Question to y'all does anyone want new rims?

I can get 2 sets:

Work Meister S1

18x8 +35 / 18x10 +22

Polish Silver Finish 2 peice

Offers around $2500-$3000

Work Emotion XD9

18x9 +30 / 18x10 +22

Magnesium Finish

Offers around $1500 - $2000

They are brand new in box never had tyres fitted, all 5x114.3 and all legit. If you want them PM me and i'll put you in touch with them

Far out those XD9's are cheap. Tempting.

make an offer miso, he wants them gone.

If i had a complete 5 stud conversion ready for my 31 i would be buying those Meisters.

got it in one >_<

This is a new one :S

fitted 20mm spacers (very good quality ones from japan) and long wheel studs for the spacers to eliminate the bolt on studs.
So you are using bolt-on spacers as slip-ons?
they are bolt on, i have removed the bolt on bolts to allow the long wheel studs to go through instead, plus i heard that is a lot safer
lol thats not safer at all
i got told it was safer by a wheel shop to run spacers like this, so there is less stress on the indside wheel studs on the spacers. they advised me that they wont snap like this.
The wheel shop in question must be a bunch of incompetent twats.

Final quote was me >_<

quoting is where its at col.....

although i hear its better to only run 2 studs with spacers to reduce the stress...

geoff you know you want to buy sweet rims...

Sweet rims indeed. But no, not interested today, sorry. I'm happy with the ones I've got (not got the spare cash and theres more important things to do to mine first anyhow).

John's day at school

I went to an Epson training day a few weeks ago which pretty much entailed of me doing everything really really quickly so I could get the f**k out of there before someone would ask me where I work and then proceed to tell me how much better their job is than mine for the eleventy millionth time.

On a side note, checked all the hoses tonight on the skyrice, I didn't have enough light but I could hear a slight psssss sound, so I'm going to replace the hoses from the boost controller + bov.

Oh, and John if the series 1 afm pwnd had will work on a series 2, I'll come and pick it up from you on friday or saturday if that's cool.

Tell Andrew that if he wants someone who actually wants to do the work, and actually wants to learn, that I'll still come work for him. The course is done in 4 weeks :(

PSSSSSSS noises aren't good in.... See if you can get a leak tester :D

As far as I'm aware - series 1 is green, series 2 is pink. I only say this because when I was looking for one I got told a green label from a series 1 25 would work on my 20. *shrug* Best bet is if Miso can bring it along, I'll just grab it and we'll try and see what happens.

Jason has some spare coil packs for a 25 now that I think of it. Maybe he'll let you borrow them to trouble shoot further if the AFM isn't the problem. You'll have to ask reallll nice like though :(

Noel, your car is Mint.

@John: Lol

Alvin ROOLZ

I can do better in the wheel department.

Howbout a set of brand new nismo lmgt4's in 9.5x18. +30 offset with new tyres for 3500....or...Da bomb...Volk GTC's in black with chrome lip gtr offset +12 9x18 with feddy semis 50% tread mint for 3 kay.

    • 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.
