Yeah from experience the 4,6 and Rotor Cruise is always the biggest of the year i find.

Lets just hope its not as hot as it was last year!

That sucked ass so much!

But seeing Keir run a 8.9 on friday nights testing was the highlight of the weekend!

Everyone able to go one the cruise? and i assume they don't like people being stupid on these cruises -> always read the section in the trading post for the cruise

Well honestly i didn't go on last years cruise but i did the year before and all i noticed was 2 cars get pulled over and the were literally 100's everywhere!

As far as the "behaving" i mean they obviously would like everyone as behaved as possible but that doesn't really happen.

However like i said its the most enjoyable cruise i have ever been on.

I'm planning on running my Crown at the meet.

I'll probably be doing my licencing passes on the friday night T'n'T.

Cheers

Sean :)

Nice, will have come out at see what she can do off the dyno, hey you reckon i can sit in the back again? :P

I'm planning on entering if everything goes according to plan. I won't be that exciting to watch (low 12 maybe an 11 if I'm lucky) but it should be fun as I've changed quite a bit since last time I ran.

If the last two years are anything to go by it will be a hot one :huh: 2004 - 48'C

Yeah I know what you mean Will. I had a look at the MT Drag Radial while waiting to picking up some bits from Outlaw Speed Shop the other day. They look awesome and with that tread pattern they may even handle a bit of minimal road use - even trundling around in the wet perhaps?

How much for a set (rear only) of 275/40/17? With the money I've spent on the car over the last 6mths I probably shouldn't - but the rears need upgrading/replacing this year anyway :D

Ask Keir - I'm pretty sure that's the size they're using now.

They may even have a few cheap 1/2 used sets lying about before you decide to shell for them.

Down side is although they are radial, and DOT approved, this does NOT make them road legal in SA.

Up side is RWD Commodores have been known to get 1.5x sec 60' times on them - I got 1.74 with my mild combo.

the crown is nuts missed out on it last dyno day :P best of luck with it

Feel free to come and have a stickybeak if you see it out in the paddock at AIR mate. :)

I'm just finishing reassembly this morning after putting a set of ARP 2JZ Supra head studs in it. Given the state of the gasket, It looks like that on boost it's been leaking combustion pressure out cyls 1 & 6 for quite a while probably. (the stock plastic region head bolts a pretty weak)

I've also just fitted up a DC Electric water pump and controller, which will allow me to run the motor about 15deg colder than the stock thermostat-which should deliver a bit more power and allow me to cool the car down between runs.

Seeyou there

Sean

Hook it up and run a 9!!!

I can't wait to see it!

How was your Xmas and NewYears Chops? Good I hope mate.

I'll give it a red-hot go at least. It ran the 10.4 on 20 psi, and has now recorded 447rwkw on 23psi-with the head gasket leaking pretty badly (studs and EWP should deliver another 25-40rwkw.)

I'm changing the diff ratio up to a 3.08 from 3.23 too as was running out of revs. The 3.08 and more power should see it close to (if not over) 140mph-which is parachute territory. :angry::)

See you there :)

Sean

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
