Gents,

Sat 13th December is the day. $100 buys you 8 hours of drift fun at the Eastern Creek skidpan and figure 8 wet track. We need 40 people to make this fly and the numbers look fine from the interest post.

What will you need? a roadworthy car, long sleeves and pants non-flammable. No Helmet (to be confirmed!)

What will you get? 1min flat out drift on the two circuits every 20-min. An instructor will be on hand to give advice and help out with control.

Starts 9am and finishes at 5pm. Food and drinks will be available at the creek.

For those of you who are only interested in the 1/2 day please PM me and don’t use this post. I will work something out with Dave once I have the numbers.

No deposit is needed as wet weather only makes the day more fun, but please, only post up if you are 100% confirmed, if we don’t get the numbers then Dave will not run this even again and we will loose out in the long run.

Any questions let me know.

Thanks

All,

Bad news Dave just went to book the pans only to find out it was booked by someone yesterday. I will now change the date to the Sat 13th Dec.

Blitz,

Can you please change the Date in the post.

    • 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.
