also cant wait for mine.....even though i dont have a car to put them on, they will make a nice wall decoration for the mean time lol

yeah I cant wait till I get my car back. been 4 weeks so far but fingers crossed tomorrow will be the day

had a look at the turbos that came off the gtr (mattyr31 saw them too) and one was rooted...

to quote matty "Hey you can see daylight thru the housing!"

turns out the rear turbine's water feed had become blocked and had most likely overheated and warped the housing, which led to the bearing getting munted and blowing oil into the compressor section - certainly would explain the det and lack of power in either case...

water and oil lines have been thoroughly refurbished now tho, so when it goes to boostworx on monday for a tune i should be pushing some healthy numbers

that aside, its time for a crap joke

Two atoms go into a bar on a Friday night. They are both in a good mood and proceed to drink themselves under the table.

They are now really drunk.

One atom turns to the other in horror and says "Oh Shit, I lost an electron!!"

"My God, are you sure?!" asked the other atom in disbelief.

"Yeah, I'm positive......"

-D

Sorry mate they only bolt onto 34gtr :) 33 is different bolt hole size :( but yes the 6-pot brembo's arrived today. Here I was thinking they were just alittle bigger then the 34R brembo's, but holy shit, they are huge. Bigger then f50. Would basically take up a whole half of a rotor easy.

Pics will be up tomorrow :)

    • 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.
