Posting on forums is all part of the research :(

I missed the show though, didnt even know it was on.

research involves reading first asking questions later.

asking a turbo question in a thread on a tv show is done by retards.

Didnt the passenger cop the fine for no seat belt, atm the driver does not get fined for someone over the age of 16 (maybe 18) not having a seat belt on, how ever you will after november 1st.

Do the passenger get any fine? So does that mean if they hate you they can take off their seat belt on purpose so they can get u in trouble?

P plates + skyline = cop bait lol

Although when I had my NA R33, I only got pulled over once in 1.5 years for a "random breathe test" which was after following me for like 5km lol

It all depends on how you drive and where you drive it....

couldnt stand them callin that GTS-T a GTR other night and talking it up to the cameras like they know all about them. ;)

i think its what time you drive to, i drive very early in the morning when cops have nothing to do,

im sure if i just drove it to my 9-5 job n back wouldnt really be an issue

In the ten years owning my GTR times have changed.

Never used to get harassed by police and even was asked by a cop on a bike for a race to see if he could catch me lol.

I have never seen stupid, crazy skyline drivers hooning around. I have seen allot of p platters driving there car like they stole them.

It's an image that the media have put on us and also the cops are jealous because we have real cars that go, stop and out handle any falcon or commodore.

We some how need a better image. Maybe more cruise days?

I personally can't see the image of Skyline's being "hoon" cars changing in the eyes of police.

I think we all just have to live with the stereotype of owning one. If you drive sensibly, you'll be fine and that's all you can really do to help the image for the rest of the Skyline drivers.

But it just takes ONE irresponsible d*ck to ruin all of that.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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".

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      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.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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.
