haha, third drive it is then.

I remember importing my car from japan and went it had landed I went and had a look at it.....killed me for days to not think about it since it was in front of me but cant touch the thing since it hadn't went through compliance etc. But the worst day is the day before as I didn;t sleep at all seeing as I knew my car was ready the next day for pick up, however, the best feeling is when your first given the keys, you get in it and fire it up :(

Hehe yeah, when I imported my first car (R33), I used to go see it every few days when it was in compliance, even though it was a 40min or a long train trip to get there.

lol, thats dedication

Great buy and great colour. I am in a similar position. I have tracked it from the time I won it. I knew when it left Yokohama and watched the ship bringing it here. I saw the ship in Port Kembla , and I washed her and helped get her ready for quarantine. I have sat in her and started her up. She is now being complied which will only take a day or two as she is completely stock. Trouble is DOTARS are running about 10 to 14 days for the paperwork return and plate. It is now killing me and I am sick of my brother and friends calling me everyday for news. So I share your pain. Hope it all turns out well for y :Dou

    • 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.
