really?? where at? i will def send the next person i know that needs it done that direction. mine cost me 400 + in parts from Kudos in the first place. belt (gates), water pump, tensioner, pulley, cam and main seals. no oil pump seal.but if it dont leak dont touch it imo.

was quoted locally, between $1500 and $2000....lol. nooo ty. hence doing it myself. but for $800 i would have contemplated letting someone else do it.

Clicky here my good friend

sweet. thats a good price. really not worth doing it yourself for that. i know where im going next time i need any work done on my boat. :thumbsup:

A full 100k service might set you back $1500-$2000 depending on the oils/parts used but certainly not for a belt and water pump change. $400 is pretty cheap for timing kit and water pump, I don't know if Kudos would still be able to do those prices as all the water pumps went up in price aftermarket and they are still a lot dearer genuine. The timing kits are still the same as they always were.

true true. i guess i did do oil and filter and air cleaner, and cleaned up the engine a bit and and and and, at the same time. so it would all add up in the long run.

Ahh, hasnt even been a week since rego and i've already gotten a not so random licence check where they don't actually check the licence but look for a turbo. :ermm:

record is 3 times in one week :down:

I got stopped all the time in my DC5 Integra. Yet to be stopped in my 34...

Yet to be pulled over, or even had a second look. Could be due to when and where i drive, but i think its mostly because the car's bog stock.

Still debating which way to go on the timing belt. Price for getting it done is good, but i wouldn't mind learning a bit and saving a little bit of money, but of course then there's the extra hassle.

Morning post.

Can some one give me a playing contract so I can go out and muck up and get kicked out of the club. Oh and still get paid out $1mil on leaving.

    • 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.
