These probably won't get a great reception here, but I have them up everywhere else so they may as well go up here.

I am kinda tired of falcons and I want a change. Interested in a skyline or a supra or some other form of RWD import. N/A of course, because I'm on my P's. Unless you have a nice example turbo'd that could possibly go undetected. If you don't have anything to swap then I will sell. The EA and the Ute have to go before the AU is sold, as it's my daily commuter at the moment.

This is my EA. Tried to sell it a few times before when it was having troubles after a BBM conversion...

Anyway it's all sorted now and runs. RWC was given with an EB manifold, no longer current but can be arranged again for the car in its current state...

The car has 112,000 KM from memory and the engine has 130,000.

Clean inside, roof lining is bad, was sagging but repaired (not greatly) but the rest of the interior is great for an EA. It's a fairmont if that means anything to ya.

$3500

Comes with a near new gas tank. Needs to be hooked up, was hooked up but that was when car was CFI so it needs to be redone.

The car is running an EL ECU, BBM and Airbox. I haven't driven it but even with the EB manifold it had a fair bit of poke, I'm guessing it will go harder now.

Make an offer guys.

2000 AU Futura, SR interior. Just over 200,xxx km. Extremely nice car to drive, no performance mods. Always ran on premium and oils changed. Has had slight ding in rear end that I attempted to repair. (see pics)

Welcome to the Import scene! You will definately not regret the change, will make you realise how badly that AU really drives.... Best of luck with the sale, How long til you are off your P's? maybe put up with the AU for a little longer and go straight into a Turbo?

Thanks for the well wishes, I hope it's a painless change lol. Skylines are excellent, just like a sexy road going go kart haha (the hicas scares me though, will definitely be budgeting a lock out bar so I can have it done ASAP after I buy one). I don't have a family of my own so I don't need a bus lol. I'm on my P's for another year and a half or so, but QLD has introduced a new law stating that P platers can advance to their open licence if they complete a defensive driving course. I'm selling a nitro racing car, so hopefully I'll have enough cash to do the course, then I'll be able to go straight to turbo!

Good luck with the sale mate.

But in regards to this "new law", where did you see this for QLD?

They are only just talking about it for VIC, so introducing it in QLD would be far.

If you've got details, i'd be very interested to know what the changes are going to be, I did a google and checked QT, no comment on it as they do when they introduce changes:

e.g: http://www.transport.qld.gov.au/Home/Licen..._in_queensland/

Cheers mate! I read it in the Sunday Mail (I have a topic about it, if you search my posts you'll find it). I rang QLD transport today for confirmation and was told that it looked like it was going to go ahead but hasn't been given the OK just yet. There will obviously be a huge press release, due to the fact it will be a pretty controversial plan. The sooner the better I say, haha. The info on the net is limited, so I'm really hoping the Sunday Mail and the QT person I spoke to this morning wasn't blowing smoke up my ass.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      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.

      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.
