Good to see employers do the right thing when left to their own devices.

As opposed to the unions let's stick it to the employer! YEAH! Promote everyone yeah! Oh wait... How'd that go for holden? Ford? Mistubishi?.. Alcoa?

Quite the trend there...

BOOM *mic drop*

Get car back on Friday

Fark yeah, engine bleeds ok, head not lifting now. Farken sweet.

Torque converter good, best mod ever

Exhaust sounding nice, really good move there too

Car driving nice, even fixed fuel tank lid

Day off, maybe take a trip through the hills

You mean leveraged like with loans?

Straight cash brah.

How will/did you manage to accomplish this?

Say you worked at 20 to 30. 10 years.

You would have to be on an average salary of $220k p.a

So about $70k in tax, and say $50k in spending a year.

Would leave $100k in savings over 10 years

Maybe someone put you on a Voodoo doll

need more info. what happened?

inspected a nissan cedric for someone interstate the other week. its got issues, but cheap. he's almost sold on importing a RB25DET AWD model, but isnt sure about letting this cheap one pass by (because its such a great example, not). Now he wants to express post me his OBD2 scan tool so I can see what the engine light issue is.

do i:

talk some sense into him and say get the car inspected by mechanic/workshop and use their scan tool.

or

offer to do what he asks, charging money to do it.

need more info. what happened?

Nothing happened, it blew while I was overtaking a car in an overtaking lane at 110kmh in 4th gear.

The only reason I built the RB is cause, well, the original one exploded and I had free labor and my options were forged RB, or replacement standard engine, both pretty much for $0.

Plus there was a stroker kit for sale for near nothing.

It appears however that no-one can actually build this engine, so, yeah... building something so it'd be more reliable than a 15-20 year old engine... lol was not.

    • 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.
