i like this alot, awesome for a track car. Is she one of the few people in the world who actually use a pen/texta till it completely runs out? before loosing it or accidently leaving the cap off? lol :D

haha, honestly, the tips get damaged too badly to finish using the markers, so they still get thrown out before they are finished.

Thank you SkyHi!

Astro- actually, I was going to repaint the car anyway, and she asked could she draw over a scratched area on the front bumper and I said sure, and then it wound up that the whole bumper got finished. Then we just decided to do the whole car from there.

here's what I did today.. ..haha, not really that much.. I boufght some new lugnuts that match the GTR logo.

She just draws it freehand. No planning out. Kinda crazy to watch too! Thanks to everyone for the encouragement! Hopefully I can get some tires ordered today. Thats the goal. The weak offset wheels gotta go!

She must have a very creative mind!

:(

i gotta say it looks great, always good to see something different out there than other than all the white/grey/maroon 33's haha. i got one question that i dont think anyone has asked yet but .... how many texta's have u gone through ?!?! lol

looks great keep it up with the pics !

Just out of curiosity... How is she intending to do the roof? :D

*In mind all I can think of is like those lan parties where you duct tape her to the ceiling and then slowly drive the car underneath*

Seriously awesome work though =D

Just out of curiosity... How is she intending to do the roof? :laugh:

A combination of her standing on a stool and me jacking up the opposite side of the car. shouldn't be too bad!

does your GF wanna do my car in white nikko :)

maybe!, all i know is that if free lift tickets to snowboarding didn't cut it as payment, I would be out of luck. if we take a very reserved 20USD/hour wage for this times 68 hours, that's almost 1,400USD. in actuality the rate would be higher, and the car still isn't 50% done!!!

wow that looks really good .. Great effort thumbsup.gif

thanks!

    • 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.
