was asked this by a pretty girl the other night "you can almost have any car you want, you've driven cars that cost a house but yet you chose a GTR? i mean wtf" i left it at that and walked off, well the main thing is everyone is different and prefer different things. what did it for me was the first time i drove one, a R32 GTR the handling of the car is like it's on rails in a straight line from a launch or around corners turning in late to the apex and planting it. when you accelerate you can instantly feel that the RB is designed to be reved and loves to accelerate everytime you drive it, it's feels like the car is edging you on "come on plant it" the engine doesn't sound right at lower rpms it's more happy and alive the faster it's going and higher rpms. it's not luxurious as a porche and isn't ment to be it's a pure grand tour racer. comfy but yet can haul ass when needed.

what does everyone else think about a GTR?

Lets get some priorities straight , a GTR is more important than family , i would trade the family in first, before i get rid of my GTR.....NOT JOKING EITHER

family? That's when you get a stagea to sit alongside the skyline...

well the GTR is family, the more you take care of it (wash, service) the more fun, reliable and friendly it is towards you (doesn't break down - less over all problems), like a gorgeous wife your bound to get attention (popo or what not) and she's bloody high maintenance that's for sure always wants a medical (dyno tune, service) the more i touch it and use it, it wants new shoes and not just any shoes has to be a brand name aswell and 4 of them to boot (UHP tyres) it drinks heaps and demands nothing but the best you can get (bp ultimate 98). but we all knew this was gonna happen, as human beings we get attached to things either humans or materialistic.

and yes i've been on a race track.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      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".

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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.

      spot the stagea

      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.
