The only time I notice the thump is when I'm dawdling in traffic; get a bit of harshness into second.

I actually much prefer what I have now, even my missus gets a bit of a grin when it squats & goes on a gearchange now.thumbsup.gif

I have bit of a harsh shift when its cold shifting but only into third....the rest of the time it's pretty good.

Have you checked your flux capacitor levels?

Oh shit i'm not in the V35 section atm! :P

Dear Jetwreck; I think my Flux Capacitorz is borked, if I givez you dolarz can you do a highflowz on it?thumbsup.gif

Seriously though; how do I get better performance from my F/C? Is it time for a high performance rewind?

Jetwreck can you help me with a shift kit for the c34 stagea? I'm in Adelaide, I would like a trans cooler installed also if you can quote me on both that would be great. Need you to supply and fit the parts please....

Thanks Peter. Here is my email [email protected]

mines pretty good havent had a problem yet im dissapointed in the reaction time on full throttle but cant do much about it definetly a great mod!

I have found the box shifts perfectly if the temps are normal, if its too cold it wont change into gear at full throttle and if its too hot its not happy either.

I was going to try and trick the gearbox temp sensors so it thinks everything is fine but I guess it may cause issues. Best bet is to put an inline thermostat so the box comes up to temp quickly (due to the radiator) then diverts the fluid through the trans cooler once its up to temp.

    • 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.
