Hey sau tried searching for an answer to try and avoid hassle but with no avail,

As topic states i would have my my foot to the floor and once 3k is passed it revs to redline like crazy but without the boost to go along with it.

Is this boost creep or is it somfin else?

Need some advice sau?

Ive got a hdi electronic boost controller with hdi

solenoid on 11.5 psi if this helps.

Cheers

I was really hoping it wasnt gonna be that, ive got a heavy duty exedy on it figuring that would last but i guess i will have to get a new one , and yes it does grab on 1st gear fine but once second and third or so on is in it just slips , i was driving it again this arvo and i found that if i slowly moved upto 3k it seems to grab on but then the next gear just slips anyway,

Thanks for the advice guys

Definitely clutch mate. Luckily you've got a 33 so it should have a push type clutch, cheaper to buy and much easier to change. If you can do it yourself then you can probably do it in about 2-3 hours on your shed floor with the help of a mate.

Yeh i might have to do it myself , will i need to change the flywheel while im at it or can i keep the stock one on and just change the clutch itself? Will be going through the clutch threads on here On a good and cheap one.

    • 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.
