Thought id share my experience with the cars ive owned …..

Of course all JDM ;-)

Started off driving in a Corolla AE92 GT-I but hey lets not count that …

So second car that I always wanted was an RNN14 (GTI-R)

Had that for 3 years and was a really good car (bar the clutch)

I took her to a lot of GTI-R meetings in the UK

Having had the GTI-R, I got the 32 GT-R bug, and sorted myself out with one of those, sadly the GTI-R had togo to fund this purchase.

After 2 years with the GTR, (having been using it for an everyday car), I borrowed a recently imported & unregistered EVO 6TME as a courtesy car, whilst some work was done on my GTR. I thought it was really nice to drive and a better "all rounder" esp on british roads than the 32.

So ended up buying it a week later

(The Evo was tuned by Signal Auto, hence why the muffler is on the other side)

The Evo was cool, and I kept that for 18months, but exported the 32 to Sweden…

Always wanted an R34 GT-R and the evo never felt like a GT-R / RB …so had to go back to GT-R ownership

Next came my 1 owner from new (2000), Nismo Omori owned 34

About to be loaded on to the boat in 2007

Alas that is now sold and I move on to the TS 34

Hi sure the GT-R can be viewed here, sold it to sweden in the end

dont need to get my post count up,

just showing you what other nissans i have owned, and seeing as im in a unique position to most, having owned a beautiful R32, and 2 R34 GT-Rs, plus travelled to Japan many a times, having personal trips being shown round tuners such as TOMEI due to work, i thought it would benefit the forum

LOL, wasn't referring to you with the post count bumps!

Some people join up and post the same or similar comment (like "nice car" or "awesome" or "great shots," etc.) in 10 different threads just so they can then send a PM to someone. Then you barely see them post another comment for ages.

Oh, actually, I'd like to see pics of the AE92 Corolla, as an ex-AE94 owner myself!

    • 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.
