Never bothered to try it because the infotainment system doesn't support FLAC.

Yes, I'm an audio snob.

Still, I have a few CF cards, given I use them on my dSLR camera. What do you want to know? I can try out some stuff for you.

Sorry for the late reply, Ive been away from my pc since mid dec.

Just to be clear, I use the cars AUX input and my phone headphone out as the source. On the phone I have major audio software to correct the short cummings in the car audio. The phone output obliterates the CD (and of course the Music Box or radio or Bluetooth), and would expect the CF card would also be of similar poor quality. So, would never actually use the CF card for anything more than to fill the empty hole or "because its there"; ie dont waste any time on this, its simply a test of an idea.

Reading US Infinity G37 forum posts, they all talk about the limitation of 512 songs on a card

https://www.myg37.com/forums/audio-video-and-electronics/195083-number-of-song-limit-on-a-compact-flash.html

Earlier/other post "think" there is a 4GB limit size limit, only to be corrected by the 512 song limit, and thyeir 4GB limit has been because of the MP3 file sizes push the over the actual 512 song limit.

What I was wondering, if the real limit is NOT the size of the card, then, you could have 100 ALBUMS, each ripped to a single MP3 file, containing the whole album of 12 songs. So, the number of "files" would only be 100, with each "file" containing 12 songs, so the number of songs would be 1200.

So I guess the next possible limit would be the size of an individual MP3 file; which i have yet to read of. And if that is not a limit, then it would truly be a size limit of a CF card. So I guess a test would be a big MP3 file on a big CF card; since the car wont understand the MP3 has many songs on it.

Just an idea.

    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.  
    • Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
