No doubt Winton is heaven for EVOs, but a good car punted well will be quick everywhere! They do look mint in silver, and to think it was havinga ew problems but was still so quick. Even with only 2L you put me into the shade :) But I was louder...thats all that is important

Yeah good point, but it does lack top end power, will see next month as I'm thinking of entering the WRX round at Sandown...

and with a damn nice note to boot Troy. Glad to see you actually got to enjoy the thing for the whole day.

Had a fantastic day taking 1s off my PB in the cars second outing. Admittedly i dont mind the RWD or lack of front wheel driving force :ninja:

Jack pulling that time in your first outing is just plain silly.

You can talk, doing sub 1:40's on street tyres in a rwd car is very impressive, same goes to ssxRicho, you guys drove the wheels off that thing, on standard brakes!!

Nice vid there Troy, time to get rid of the seat rail and look at getting the seat solid mounted to the floor. I had a Bride seat rail in the GTR and although it didn't slop around like yours it did have a litlle play in it....

Fark that thing sounds insane, good to see your punting the thing and getting more needed seat time....

Jack, with limited seat time, you had the car pegged almost from the get go. The silver with black enkeis looks the part as well.

I can't believe the Femno and Jonny car went through another set of pads. You guys drive the nuts off that car thumbsup.gif

The weather the way it was, PB's were had all around (would have been nice if the sun stayed out mind you and put some heat in the track)

Marty and John in the GTR also got PB's.

Bloody brilliant day. Troy where is the video of you sliding out of the 110deg left corner. I have one of me looking in the rear mirror giggling like a school girl.

But here is the last session of the day.

Thanks for the feedback Jack. I'll ask you the same q when you've spent some more time behind the wheel.

Bris - holy crap that seat is moving around heaps :unsure: I have Bride rails in mine and there is no way they move around like that! Have they been around the block a few times or maybe its the fitment to the car??

WTF?? Jack has an EMO? Brisby did an entire track day in his R32?

What's the world coming too!!?

Oh and Jack - don't write off the EMO straight line capabilities. Blaise's car with an EMO 9 turbo and an E85 tune has my car pegged in a straight line. Drop the weight and get the tune right and they will run a sub 20 no worries.

Ye but you weigh half as much as Bris dude lol, that's a fair factory in itself :D

How i miss screamer pipe, im gonna be dreaming of external gate tonight for sure!

Good vid! I dont think I have ever seen you drive so straight and accurate! :) You do seem to give away a fair bit in the straights so must have been fun really leaning on it in the corners and under brakes to keep up with us. Can see why it was so much fun :)

Will post up some more vids tonight. There are plenty of my usual bloopers from either trying too hard ot trying something different :)

Yours are for the bottom mount seats so are completely different to the side mount rail I am running. Yes, had the seat out on Saturday, it is bent from all the moving around. Straighted the strap on the rear tunnel side mount and welded some 15mm angle iron to strengthen it. But still not good due to the design....I am just going to make another rail like my old one. LOL, I happily gave it to a friend because I thought it was too heavy. Seems with strength comes weight :(

you are kind of asking a lot of it big fella ;)

LOL, yeh I know :)

I have solid rails that I made for me GTR, they work great and doesnt bother me that theyre fixed because im the only one who drives it.

well I didn't make mine, but they are solid mounted.

car vs wall at 50kmh, rail held up fine.

Cool, thanks. Could well be easier then making my own. I will have to see how I go. I did get these made up when i was going to soldi mount my seats. But holding off because I want to wait until i strip out all the sound deadening and colour code the whole interior.

Nice vid Richo, what software program you using to sync video with gps data?

racechrono2avi, all you need to do is export the csv data from the gps (not sure if that will work with the qstarz data).

http://www.racechrono.com/news/?p=92

then bring them together with premiere elements.

you got kids? you can get elements student edition, $90. Else $130-140 ish.

and me giggling as Troy gets his sideways on.

Serious? I thought it would take more than that to keep up with your car in a straight line, what power is Blaise running?

I'd say there might be a 1:22 in it at Sandown the way my car is at the moment, although I don't know how it will handle the ripple strip abuse.....

    • 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.
