I fall into the category that money that's spent on anything other than making a car go faster or handle better is wasted money.

Well then you'll be very happy with what I've done to my Skyline convertible, V8 motor, Gtr brakes, multi link irs and still running the original seats and interior and steering wheel.

fill it with water and add some jets for bubbles.

You mean like a targer roof?

Skylines have sun roofs but that's about it.

Convertible Skyline's look shit IMO.

It certainly seems as if opinions are polarised within the ranks of Skyline owners; especially SAUers (with our insistence on maintaining a high quality chassis). But...

My hypothetical Q. is...

What if an excellent condition '99 R34 GT-R V-Spec had a market value to-day of $55K,...

What would you expect to sell the equivalent Convertible for ? ? ?

GTR wagon would have been better !!!

More money.

I notice with convertibles, you always pay more (new car).

More money for less metal and safety.

More money just for looks.

GTR wagon would have been better !!!

The Stagea 260RS is a GTR wagon.

    • 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.
