FYI - For those of you with a TomTom GPS, you can search and find an icon for the Infinity via the TomTom's Home application. Looks very cool to see a silver V35/G35 navigating its way through streets... biggrin.gif

Tried to upload the .bmp icon directly here, but that type of file is apparently not allowed.

Nice. But just silver coupe?

If it can have a white one, I am interested. :)

OK - had some free time. Has to be saved as a .bmp to be used with a TomTom. Now you just need a TomTom eh? happy.gif

Haa, nice! :thumbsup:

Can you tell me the process of how I can get this in my GPS?

I've Navman at the moment. If it doesn't work, I am buying TomTom (Any version is ok?).

Victor, when GPS units are plugged into a PC, they generally appear as a USB hard disk in File Explorer/My Computer. On the TomTom, there will be a directory called 'art' with a subdirectory called 'cars'. All the standard car icons which you can select on the unit will appear there as .bmp files. Just rename this one as a .bmp file, and copy into the \art\cars directory. When you go to change your car icon preference on the unit, this car will now appear in the select list. Simple! All TomToms to my knowledge have an identical internal file structure - operating system versions just differ for the units along with the features loaded (e.g. Text to Speech).

For the Navman, don't know. However, it would have to be a similar arrangement (a bunch of icon files somewhere, probably as .bmp files). I suggest have a look at what car options you can select already on the Navman, connect it to the PC as if you're going to update it, and see if it then appears as a removable drive. If so, do a filename search on that drive for one of the icons you know should exist (e.g. ford), and hopefully you'll find the directory. Then just copy this file there. Unless the Navman has the icons somehow compiled into a single file, then all bets are off...

Hope this is reasonably clear.

Here's the original silver infinity file. Shading is nicer on the original (hey, I'm no graphic artist!).

Don't forget to rename it from .jpg to .bmp

Thanks, Stuart. :)

I will try with my Navman this weekends and will let you guys know if I can get it on it.

If not, I will get a TomTom later.

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      By Duncan · Posted

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)

      I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
