21yrs old,  just joined forums, a 34GTR, me smells a birthday present :P

sorry dude, had to be done

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha thanks i hav'nt laughed that hard since i was a little girl!

I wish my parents were that generous. I took money out of my consumer morgage on one of my propertys for what i didn't have saved.

how does one gain such a grasp at 21? Property and shares both need start-up capital, and returns arent gonna make you loaded overnight unless that capital is very substantial.  

Im not picking at you im just curious, as im also interested in property, not so much shares tho.

Well now iam fielding questions to prove iam not a crim or spoilt brat. Oh well I was privately educated which helped, and took an interest in finance from when i was about 15. Had part-time jobs since then aswell just saved when i was 18 i invested in Hillgrove Gold and all the yield i got from them i used to buy more shares and gain capital. I got into property just before it boomed aswell which helped.

I hav'nt taken any handouts just was very careful where i spent money, and didnt spend money when i did'nt have it. I wanted a R34 GTR since i first saw one in Japan back in 99' i just gradually worked towards my goal.

C'mon guys, i dont want to have to be the one to say this but i think maybe we/you are pushing this dude a lil too far.. So what, he has a nice car.. so do many other people on these forums.. do we criticise them? I'll probably get beat down for this post also, however, the questions you are asking are rather personal. He does not need to prove himself to you to post on these forums. If that was the case.. post up your measurements now.. lol

After reading everything I have to agree, big deal if the dude has a 34GTR at 21. I say well done, thats a awesome effort

He was just trying to find some low-life who biffed his car!! Good to hear that the cops are doing there job, pity he had to ruin another persons day and crash into there car as well

As for the other stuff COPYME has said about it running whatever quatermile times, if a owner wants to make claims on a forum and can't back them up - prepare to be roasted

Seems like everyone has something to say, just thought I'd add my 2c as well

Chris

yes evryone always has something to say... im not roasting him im just interested how he came about it. I dont care if it were given to him, and its not like im going to bad mouth him if it were, and since he says that he has done it on his own, surely thats a success story youd here about on TV! who wouldnt like to know how a 21 year old affords a $100thou+car on his own? These are indeed personal questions and nowhere does it say he has to answer them. I think its interesting to hear how people make it big.

agreed :P

I remember when two 21 year old brothers bought a $60,000 Ferrari, and it made the paper! Surely COPYME's story is worthy of a full length feature film :D

Looks like a nice car

    • 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.
