sorry to hear bout the loss rac33r, and soopamarcus bout ur friend's gtt... always see the gtt along engineering walk...

i dun mean to kill all hopes, but my mr2 was stolen on a saturday afternoon in april 2000... i was overseas and had left the car with a friend in macquarie to sell... i placed the ad in the trading post and some guy rang my friend up to come see the car... when he showed up, my friend drove the car out of the garage and made a boo-boo by leaving the engine running when he got out of the car... just then, someone else rang my friend to ask about the car (probably the guy's accomplice)... as my friend was getting distracted by the phone call, the guy who came to "see" the car hopped in and sped off... the car was recovered the next morning in campsie, stripped of all panels, interior, wheels and stereo... thankfully it was insured... ever since, my frens and i always have another quick car on standby whenever any of us are selling our cars... one tip is to separate the key from the alarm/immobiliser remote control and keep the control on your body so u can arm the car if you get thrown out...

yup, i am keen on the idea of wakefield action... i am in 100% if during the break...

and yeah start another thread, this one should be dedicated to RAC33R.

a few months ago my front grill got stolen at macqaurie. i thought that was bad enough.

This is getting out of hand!

oh yeh, and i remember seeing RAC33R a while ago at fox studios i think. sorry to hear she's gone

:D

Couldn't believe it when i found out about Rac33r and GTT. No wonder you didn't call to cruise on the weekend. I'm at UNSW/Kingsford maccas nearly everyday....and my car is always on the streets and has no garage. This is gettin outa hand, GTT was one of the best 34's i've seen, and rac33rs wasn't too bad:p Sorry to hear about your losses guys.

ps. unsw cruise! lol

my left side was hit and run a few months back, never had time...or the money...to fix it..... gotta get it done in a few weeks, i like it how it is, dont have to be worried about ppl openin their door onto me, scratchin it bla bla. plus it makes me look like a psycho.

u wouldnt see me at unsw much anymore coz a) im never there coz im too lazy, B) i dont park in the carpark much anymore because im supposedly "banned" for all the **** i do in there...come on, smooth concrete, i cant resist havin a bit of fun with it :(

i cant believe it about gtt, saw that car almost every day parked in those few spots near the red centre parked with that crazy silver/pink pearl volvo s40.... such a nice car :D

did rac33r go unsw too? i'm sure it looks familiar, mad car too.

yes we unsw boys must meet up sometime soon!

Argh man that sucks, I'm never going to take my car to Macquarie again :D Is this Flashpoint alarm easy to override or something? Or did they just remove it or the battery and put the car on the back of a truck? If anyone wants to put a lynch mob together to get these thieving scumbags, I'm up for that.

    • 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.
