Wholy shit - That is friggen shocking.

Even though that car looks exactly like yours, even the wheels :( Lets hope for the best. I can't believe all of that could be done over night.

One of the workers at Nut and Bolt factory has his 32 stolen last week. Same thing....burnt out and dumped at logan. Apparently a young guy driving around in a stolen purple metallic 33GTST is to blame, also I was told Police know who it is and are looking for him. Could be the same guy. He stole it from the Hyperdome.

They have his face on CCTV buying the petrol IN the car that was stolen right before the car was found burnt out. So he's f**ked if they get him. I would contact logan CIB to see if it's your car

They've either changed the front bar or it's a different car.

False. You can see the screw holes and change of paint shade from the mspec front lip that "was" on there.

Must note. Very sad for your loss mate. This is partially the reason i dont drive my car out so much anymore :(. Well that, popo and fuel.

Thanks a lot guys. Sorry, I wasn't around for a few days. Yes, that is the car, unfortunately. Had an alarm with an immobilizer but no one heard anything. I removed the mspec front lip, cuz it was a bit broken and i was going to fix it. Police came and tried to find some finger prints but they couldn't find any.

Thank you so much everyone, and special thanks to V8skylineMAN for the pictures and special effort to take care of the car.

Hey guys...

Friggen sucks having the car stolen, I know as mine got nicked last week.

Just wanted to let people know that apparently there has been a rise in skylines stolen lately. I just got off the phone with the police about it. So if you dont have secure parking I would really recomend getting a really good alarm

This is getting wayyy too close to home. And you, majority of these cars (and others) seem to be being stolen by late teens to early 20's, thrashed, then horribly mangled.

So sorry for your loss. Hope you had insurance and it is honored.

    • 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.
