Thought i would post to ask if any of you would like to pop over to a new section which has been kindly set up by the owner of the huge 'Skyline owners forum' (over 20K members) in the Uk and share information about our cars. In the UK we are using a lot of Australian tuning products like APS and Haltech so it would be good to hear your modified preferences with regards to body kits and performance. Also if you could post some pictures up of your rides in the picture thread im sure the UK owners would be thankful.

We could also provide a link back to this forum.

Cheers Tom

got a cruise solution for yours yet? ( I make one.)

Nobody i know has got one yet however cruise control isn't a big concern in the UK as most of our roads arn't that long. I see you also do audio conversions, we have been looking for a way of changing the JDM set up so our sat nav/dvd controls are in English and how we can get the Sat Nav system to work in the UK .

were still working on that one too.......... :)

more than likely i dont think this will ever become a reality. So an aftermarket unit in place of the factory system is ideal.

needs an actuator for a start. from there its up to you waht you fit to it. if you are doing a specialist insurer then its going to need a Oz stds item.

where are you?

cruise can be done *easyish* if you are mechanically minded - I sell it as a kit and its NOT a factory item. I use modified factory buttons so it looks that way but thats it. DVD is along the same idea.

    • 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.
