lol jd read the first post :laugh: has all the info in that we are all meeting up at Jerra pub at i think it was 9:45am Saturday morning leaving at 10am. So it would be good to have a few more cars coming along :)

How's things going with the car sin is it going to be good to go ???

Engine's finished just waiting on the mech to make some time to bolt it back in.

If all is good, I'll make the cruise with Sean and the crew.

haha yeah im a bit lazy hey.. haha i think i didnt take notice cause it was posted like last month and thought it was already done up .. i now see the big white poster print on the first post .. haha ..

will seriously consider comin for the cruise..

will let yous know..

Cheers,

mick is coming too..... im trying to get bluprint along as well, but he isn't driving. c'mon, put your new diff to good use :D

ok, not to put a downer on the whole thing, but i hope everybody doesn't think that we'll be hitting the highway at 160kph! sure have some fun on the clyde, i know i will! but pls be safe about it. a big group cruising down the highway is a reciepe for disaster, just ask me, mark or mick about a certain r31 cruise a few years back. not to mention we will attract plenty of attention from the boys in blue.

2nd thing, i hope you all bring a CB radio as this will make life so much easier to communicate with....

cant wait for saturday!

mick is coming too..... im trying to get bluprint along as well, but he isn't driving. c'mon, put your new diff to good use :laugh:

Not much point when it's not worn in yet and I can't exceed 80km/h with it.....

Don't forget double demerits this weekend!!

Shaun, if you reeeeally need a space saver on the trip I'm sure one of the other 33's will be able to help out, it's not like you'll all get a flat *touch wood*.

I could lend you one of my 33 wheels if you need and i guess worst case i can lend you my space saver if required... so long as i dont get a flat :)

oh on that note got a bit of a scare on the way home today barely put my foot down and i hear "boom" car starts spluttering and almost died. luckily i remember hearing these symptons before popped the bonnet to find one of my IC pipes had popped off. Fixed up and all good now ;)

Yea double demerits so i dont think many people will be speeding.

I was keen to come down and meet a few ppl but i got a few flogged out bushes in the front end were going to get it fixed yesterday but my new castor rod didn`t come in so no good , i might pull in the jerra pub b4 everybody leaves just to say hello

    • 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.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
