new front struts

http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff9/fatzgtsr/r31%20coupe/DSC_0070_zps2c9dc665.jpg

so some more progress

dummy fitted the engine box and turbos

to do so had to pull the turbos off

http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff9/fatzgtsr/r31%20coupe/DSC_0076_zps5112a893.jpg

then slapped the motor and box in

http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff9/fatzgtsr/r31%20coupe/DSC_0079_zps420e163e.jpg

turbos were fine

front dump pipe was fine

rear dump pipe fowled on the firewall at the expansion joint, was expected as the 3 litre is 1 inch taller and it just touches.

will give it a massage

besides that r31 are heaps larger than gtrs so there was a fair bit of room to move

cant decide if i should run bonnet pins for the boot or shlap the key in?

i also got out my pwr radiator with inbuilt oil cooler, its farken expensive so naturally it did not fit lol, close but no cigar( will have to re-drill the upper mounts)
also dummy mounted the ic using the gtr mounts ( slightly modified)
they are not centered so will have to make something up and shift it left about 2 inches to center it
will also need additional bracing as its a big f**ker

    • 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.
