Lol, was under my car yesterday inspecting clutch fork and noticed I had some pretty fat front pipes already installed. Measured them up to be 2.5 inch primaries into 3 inch secondary. Can't find a brand name on them but the welds look immaculate and it seems quite sturdy. Win! Its funny how sometimes you can own a car for a while and not realize what's done to it.

I'd still be getting bigger pipes mate, what dumps do you run?

I'd be getting 3 inch dumps, the biggest f@ck off front pipes you can find. High flow cat into 3 1/2...

The closer you are to the turbos the larger the diameter of the piping required, as we all know hot air expands ;)

Conflicting advice everywhere, people say 3inch is good for up to 400kw. Others say 300kw, I love the Internet. I may just sell of my entire system and get a 3.5 inch system made up just to be safe.

With any question there's going to be conflicting info from those that have heard stuff off mates or just take a guess.

I've done it on my own 32. Over 400rwkw through those size front pipes and an off the shelf xforce cat back which I can tell you now is less than 3.5".

Save your money and spend it somewhere else on the car, those front pipes you're talking about will do the job. Plus if they're Nismo the quality will be awesome like all Nismo parts.

Personally I'd be buying those front pipes wherever youve seen them and then a set of R34GTR (or HKS which come up from time to time) dump pipes with the money saved from not going custom/overkill.

^^this man knows,

If stevo reckons that those pipes are good for the power your making then that's good enough for me. Unlike alot of people his advice comes from experience and knowledge.

The nismo pipes will be top quality and you know they are going to bolt in and fit 100% of the time!

Like I said before you will need the bigger dump pipes as well with the high flow cat

      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.
