Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

Well the zed is nearly completely back together. Exhaust back on and everything connected. Runs on 6 and can move under it's own power.

Had to relocate the windscreen washer to the boot for airflow through drivers side side mount intercooler. Didn't have enough vac hose at home to run the plumbing but I did run all the electrics for it.

All that is left now is obviously the plumbing for the washer bottle, all the undertrays, and the intercooler ducting which is a royal PITA. Going to leave that until the tech day on sat.

Oh and I need a new wideband sensor. the one I installed is stuffed, reading 3points leaner than the other. Not 3/10th, 3 wholes.

So I was forced to replace my muffler today due to a severe rattle, my car now actually has an exhaust sound.

Picked this up second hand for $100 fully installed inc welding. It's a name brand muffler, but let's just call it a 'legnaflow'...

Morning everyone!

Just a quick pop in to say hi and to let everyone know that the club emails should be working later today.

Unfortunately cmshosting and puntoitalia just flipped the switch and deleted our hosting from their servers without notification or warning.

The hosting has now been moved to a new web host and a blog/news portal with information on what events are coming up etc as well as links into these forums will be setup.

At present, any communication should be directed to [email protected]

All of the @sauqld.com email addresses should be functional later today.

Chat soon. Bout time I turn up to an event and catch up with everyone.

Cheers,

Ben.

I dislike pickles... But ham and cheese are tasty...

I followed lunch up with some popping candy and the accounts girl laughed at me :)

Now I REALLLLLY want milk but I don't have any of my milk at work :(

    • 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.
