Nice stuff Dan

Evening all!

Anyone care to help, tell me about subframe bushes? I have clunks that have been there since I bought the car, I'm narrowing it down to the tailshaft/diff area, or possibly subframe bushes, based on what I've read.

How many bushes are there? Where are they, what is required to change them?

the bushes that hold the subframe to the body? or the bushes that hold the various suspension arms/diff onto the subframe?

could also be the tie rods or rack ends of the hicas setup. If its the subframe bushes themselves you'll next an oxy and a hacksaw

Ok, well I'll start with the easiest options first I guess.

Would the bushes where the arms etc join the subframe be the easiest place to start out of those options?

get under the back with a long screw driver or pry bar and try see what moves around too much, thats the best way to start looking, otherwise you just start throwing money away on things that don't need doing yet.

the end result of my work, its running R33 turbo calipers on the front now too.

Morning Mangs,

Boring weekend was boring. Wanted to wash the car but it wouldn't stop f**king raining. Stupid weather.

End.

Morning Mangs,

Solution to being bored: GT5.

End.

Mate doesn't have a PS3 and Lee would throw a shitfit if I tried to take the PS3 away lol. Have to wait until my mate sees the light and decides he needs a PS3

I'll trade you a PS3 for your sister. I'll even throw in a copy of GT5 ;)

    • 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.
