Hello all,

Have this car listed on Car Sales so just copying the ad from there. Apologies for some of the filler.

This car is a genuine series 2 R33. Built in 97, it was one of the last R33's. Car has been garaged the majority of its life. I am the second owner in Australia. It was originally imported and complied by Kamikaze Motors in Nunawading. The car has been recently serviced. It has an aftermarket double din Sony head unit that has USB input and AUX input with MP3 support. It has a boost gauge installed but is only running factory boost levels.

Other than the above mentioned items, the only changes from factory are the rims and exhaust. The exhaust is a cat back exhaust and I have a quieter custom made exhaust I will be providing with the car. The rims are Axis 18 inch rims with Pirelli P-Zero Nero tyres (235's on the front, 265's on the rear). The car also has a larger than factory battery that was purchased about 3 months ago.

Extra's coming with the car (if buyer wants):

- a spare set of rims from a 350Z (rear tread on second set of rims is not roadworthy).

- the aforementioned second (quieter) exhaust.

- boost tap and fittings

- spare dash cluster that can be used for spare dash lights.

Reason for the car selling without a roadworthy is that the ABS pump has gone and I don't want to spend more money on this car. The brakes are fine, so relatively easy to get a roadworthy for if you have the time to source a replacement part. I have had the car for 10 years now. Recently had a daughter so needed to purchase a car that could manage baby seats. It's a fun car to drive and with all these cars it is very easy to modify them for more power (factory power is 184 kw). Car is in average condition for an 18 year old car but still looks good despite its age. I am based in Rowville in the S.E suburbs of Melbourne. Please only contact if you are genuinely interested in buying the car.

You can PM me here or call me on zero four one zero three six seven zero one two.

Otherwise you can email me - dogknight at gmail dot com

    • 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.
