S A U - N S W Texikhana - Queen's Birthday Holiday Monday


Recommended Posts

it was the only weekends they would give us :(

I know it is not good for the club dollar-wise, but I loved the Bathurst long weekend Texi.

Almost no-one there, and after lunch I finished a run, went to a nonexistent queue, and went right back on again after the guy infront finished his run. So epic. I think I got 30 runs that day and nuked 3 out of 4 tyres!

Also, here is my install.

I mounted the bar to the bolts that hold the seat to the rail, so the extinguisher moves with the seat.

Only downside to having it permanently mounted (although I can whip it out pretty quickly. heh heh. ;o) is that the black handle *can* get caught on my wife's dresses/skirts.

Wow nice job there Randy!

Mine is mounted off the rear seat, just did the same with the cruiser too! Can never have enough Extiguisher :P

For those with GTR's/ Stag's etc and are lazy/like pre fab :

My Car is a daily and I leave it in. You get used to stepping over it and now don't notice at all.

Thanks mate!

That's so true. I keep mine in the car 24x7 and most of the time i'm the only one in it so the passenger side is really the best place for it. I can reach it and release it with one hand, and it's nice to know that if there is an electrical fire or you go to help someone in a car accident that you have an extinguisher on hand.

Yeah the cabin of the 34 is small enough to have it in the passanger rear footwell and still have easy access :)

Mine's in the passenger rear footwell of my Stagea too, and even if there are people travelling in that spot in the back seats it barely interferes with foot room.

Sorry guys - got home pretty late from work last night and just crashed out. I'll do my best to get it done over the weekend - if it's not done by the AGM, everyone there will bug me about it until it's done.

Will see you there man :D

Does she still get surprised when it goes off unexpectedly between her legs?

Just paid and sent in registration forms. Just in regards to the cams/aasa licence... which one is better? I don't have either so will need to sign up for one on the day.

Eddie.

If you're only looking to do Texi events, go AASA - less bullshit and it's cheaper.

edit::

I should have responded to everyone by now that's emailed - I'll figure out numbers tonight.

    • 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.
