Inner West Crew Whoretown (toowong/st Lucia/kenmore/indooroopilly And Sometimes Sunnybank?)

Gtr has one turbo back on. Spent yesterday chasing parts an fixing the motorbike. Should have it back together Saturday i reckon maybe. Apart from one O2 sensor.

Spent a few hours pulling all of the interior out of a s3 ti today to put into the wagon. Only problem I can see is that the won't work with a ca20 and that the rear and front light plugs etc won't work on the pintara. Conections for the lights are east to change.. I think. And for the other problem I'm pretty sure I need to invest in a 30 for it.

Week has been super unproductive.

Kids been sleeping crap so motivation is at an all time low.

car has been sitting in the driveway for the last four weeks undriven, as it doesn't have a bonnet.

On the upside, my black ops kill to death ratio has been steadily improving over the past four weeks

anybody know of a r32 gtr front reo for sale. struggling to find one locally

may have to get one from adelaide.

option one had one there on a HCR32 nose chop. may pay to ask.

In a great end to the year my gearbox may be going the way of the dodo :(

After a little spirited driving this arfternoon it suddenly decided to put its self into "safe mode" or whatever it's called. 3rd gear only and the A/T light was up on the dash. Pulled over quickly, turned her off and let her sit for a little while. Struggled slightly when starting her back up, bit of a lurch and was back idleing like normal. Was a bit cautious on the way home.

Major sadface, can't afford an expensive mechanical issue, I wanted to buy an S13 in a couple of months.

Happy New Year Everyone!

Time to get our Go Kart date sorted. I can do after 1030am every Saturday and after 1130 on Sunday. If those time are fine, I'll call and secure a slot for us this coming week.

just watched Martins wrap up video, I really need to get my richness issue sorted out! At least I can accelerate under the cover of my smoke screen though, stealthy.

yep you have a bit of a smoke screen happening there :)

bunnings = win. looks like they have started selling pallet racking. bought two big racks and a lot of shelves. now my messy garage is now tidy :)

    • 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.
