was using 91Oct so reckon could have gotten it lower

race car on the back?

if so that is farken impressive

evil they all pull soccer mums... but they are all pretentious high maintenance bitches

My twin turbo 4.0L 350z gets 18L/100k

It doesn't have a tow bar and I cane the crap out of it, it doesn't even know if there is a hill just powers along in 6th.

Pointless comparison but kinda suits the way this thread goes from time to time.....

where are the soccer mum pics wtf!!

Dan, ive had a few beers with Harry, it was XXXX, beer was ok, but Harry is good to have a beer with.

only issue there was Druncan wouldnt buy us shouts cause he was saving for rebuild # 43

No no! It was only meant to be new turbos at that stage... Poor drunk man... Although, Drunkman is good to have a beer with too!

That's amazing economy for a vehicle that is also "fun" to drive!

Very impressed I am.

Truthfully though, with all due respect, and I mean this is the nicest possible way...... Patrols drive terribly, they really do. There's only so much a brother can do with a live front axle.

:mellow:

bah, man up. IFS Is For Shopping... Live axles are for getting you places.

so you get the ocassional shimmy on bumps mid-corner... and some times get the patrol wobbles at ~90kph. That's no problem, just don't do 90kph! :thumbsup:

great tow car... but farken uncomfortable with now leg room

Would not call the g6turbo a value for money option as its 60k odd new but compared to the q7 its a bargin.

ahh i though they were 10k for a 3 day old one?

Mine drives fine, I like driving it than my 2008 D40 I had, feels heaps more solid. And goes around corners pritty dam well, been testing it put the past 10month driving over the bells line of road every week.

There's drivers and than there wheel holders...... Man up buddy

haha, I must be a wheel holder. :thumbsup:

I don't understand why people take criticism of their chosen vehicle so personally, maybe you should "man up buddy". :rolleyes:

I've had my fair share of "man's" vehicles,.... one was a lifted 'Cruiser ute on 33" muds and twin lockers, it drove like shit. It actually drove a bit more shit that the bog-stock 1998 GU wagon I owned briefly. Yes, they're completely drivable. No, they are not a paragon of refinement or driving joy.

If I were to be towing a large trailer over the Canning Stock Route, or off-raoding and needed maximum wheel articulation, I'd likely chose a Patrol.

That does not, however, make them "the" default choice for those who want for a good daily driver that can also tow their race car interstate comfortably time to time.

    • 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.
