Sold it just wanted a change, miss it though for sure. Took advantage of dat used market. 

Working at car dealerships so seeing all the nice Audis come in tempted me away from the jap stuff for now.

Got an R33 again now for shenanigans, whats a good performance shop these days to make my R33 fast?

I came to a conclusion last year: that most car workshops can't run a business and don't actually want your money.

Try making a booking at most places... "We're busy at the moment, maybe in a month or two, contact me then" "I'll get back to you in a few weeks"

Just make a booking ffs, it's not hard.

"Oh my work partner has my hoist at the moment so I can't do the job right now, maybe in 6 months time"

If I wanted a turn key job on the pulsar (a shopping list of small issues), my options are pretty much Racepace and a 5 figure hole in my pocket.

Trying to book the Gloria in for suspension work: legit can't book something in. Obviously lockdown doesn't help.

"“Due to the implementation of Australia’s unique pole side impact design rules (ADR 85), the Nissan GT-R will not be imported into the Australian market after October 31, 2021,”

Sounds like half of Lexus' lineup will also be axed. Good times.

anyone know how custom plates work?

Sold car interstate.
I want to keep numberplates.
I want to get refund on my paid rego.

Vicroads wants a stat dec and money to retain the rights to them?
I left the pulsar rego to lapse with plates and no one gives a shit.

    • 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.
