i went with CF bonnet, need somethin to stand apart from a similar skyline getting around in the same area, thus why i was thinking the doors..

unless you were driving around with them open, i dont think the other guy would know you have them :blink:

cool... save some weight

Is it full CF or CF finish?

It wont be 100% CF, it'll be an imitation with just a top layer and fibreglass underneath.

everything is illegal in melbourne these days

Most can be made legal however, CF from my understanding can never be

Not true Ash. CF needs a layer of kevlar through it to create a crumple effect and prevent the large elements coming apart in slabs, thereby becoming a greater threat in pedestrian accidents.

They also need certification to state compliance with ADR's and indented stamping to that effect. At this time I am not aware of any manufacturers complying.

WOLF 3D HAHAHAHAHAH .. Tell me your joking right.. POWER FC.. OR a motec ecu.. Both top of the range ecu for your car cant go wrong. I reckon ecu.. dw about the doors unless you are wanting a show car

PEACEEE

What experience have you had with the Wolf? I've had mine for 3yrs and have had no real issues with it and I know of others with the same result. You are probably one of those clowns that regurgitate what others have said because the tuner was hopeless.

My mechanic has become quite proficient with the Wolf 3D and has extracted as much power, if not more, out of an engine as one would with a PowerFC, and yet keep the engine safe. Unfortunately there are some tuners out there that can only tune one type of ecu, and have the audacity to label all others as shit. So you continue to be sheep and join your flock, but don't talk down a brand without an explanation why you have such views. :D

not that I'd buy from MYC, but they have:

and there was another thread floating around and found this pic:

I'm contemplating them, purely for wank factor. no other reason except that I like the look of them :)

As far as i've talked to my engineer and experienced, lambo (or scissor doors) are legal provided you haven't altered the crticial structure of the car. As for practicality; i find them easier to use than normal doors for getting into and out of the car (i'm a pretty big guy as well mind you) especially in tight spaces.

The only downside is that they cost a fortune to buy and install.

(Sidenote: they are called SCISSOR DOORS not GULLWING; gullwing hinge up at the top a la the DeLorean from "Back to The Future"...dunno how people get them confused :))

    • 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.
