Hey!
I guess you are here to find out more about me... so here goes
I drive a G37 Sport Sedan (rear wheel drive, 6 speed manual) and have a background in electronics, auto mechanics, vehicle networks (CAN bus), C/C++ programming and micro controllers.
Most of my time is spent on automotive research (Nissan/Infiniti) and trying to help others.
Thanks for dropping by!
