can't remember if it was someone on here or the uk gtr forum that was doing it but they did their own r&d on an rb30 sump adapter/4wd conversion plate, and i think they have a few made up. if i find it i'll post up a link. btw, i have an r32 gts4 as well. same colour as yours i take it from your pic. its in pretty good nick except for the paintwork cause the clear is lifting from the top edges of most of the bodywork and making its way down lol. just out of curiosity do you, or anyone else reading this thread, know what sort of paint the original paint is? i.e 2pac or acrylic etc?

yes that is mine. same problems with paint. it has been left outside most of its life I figure. most iof the small inside plastics are rotted and the rubbers are perished as well.

since youare in brissy I would not mind a chat. I think I know the person that you are talking about regarding the 4wd adapter plate.

yep and thats where I'm going to start. engine I can source the bits myself, assembly - I share the building with an alfa / nissan mechanic -between the two of us we can screw it together.

the only hanging block is this plate to bolt the sump onto.

Great that your going for "the ultimate" rb block. You sound tenacious enough to sort this out.

    • 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.
