big thanks to all the organisers and volunteers for getting this day up and running, had an absolute ball, the car went hard all day and shaved 2 seconds off my best time from last year

also thanks to Brian for taking me for a spin in the corvette, such a beast, and to Mark (Staz88) for sitting shotgun and teaching me how to spin out like a boss, ended up shaving off those 2 seconds straight up next timed session. Hopefully Luke got some footage from that passenger session, was quite fun

Cant beat the last session of the day though which we all seemed to treat as a fun session, jez blasting past me through the esses twice, and bighead overtaking me up the hill....... sideways....... was pissing myself laughing when i saw him coming in the mirror

hey mate the first lap in my video is the passenger session your talking about you can see the dust i think as i come out of the esses. If not ill review more footage and make sure i put it up lol

i had my camera and go pro, but in the end cbf putting them on the car

someone dropped the ball and didn't bring the club go pro's so no vid's :(

if i knew you were wanting to use one i woulda lent you mine

first time ever being on track @ smsp

had a great time was not to fond of last flag Marshall she was very flag happy in the passager sessions .

Happy with my time just can't wait to beat it

Highlight of the day was seeing FATZ in a passenger session split 2 cars down the middle on the straight right infront of all the marshals and i was near dave with his radio and i hear "WE NEED TO FLAG THE SESSION! THESE GUYS ARE GOING ALL OUT NOT 80%" i lost my shit hahahaha!

how many boys ran semi's? be keen to know how the street tyres ones fared

I was running 2x worn Dunlop on the front, 1x kumho and 1x maxxis on the rear.

They were getting slippery when the track was getting some heat into it.

Hence, I called it a day.

My tires were maaad lol. Not as much power as other cars but i was running on the front 1x potenza re001, 1x potenza re002. And the rears were parelli Pzero's All second hand my tire shop gave them to me $25 each 235/45/17. Very good and they have about 60% tread lol.

I had semis on the front and chalk on the rear, hence overly tail happy very dodgey on all runs, will roll and pump the rear guards so i can fit the semis next time and maybe even get an alignment done rather than using my eye to align the rears... Lol!

Apprentice wage sucks assssss!

Anyone got pictures of the flaming Nur?

KC, hope you're feeling better mate. Even though you lost your pride and joy, it could have been worse, you walked away from it.

    • 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.
