Has to be slicks - 26x8.5's would be the go!!!

Adrian

As her launch technique relys on a bit of tyreslip, a bit of testing may be required to get it right.

She's just not interested in joining the masses in "sport rear", and would like to make some "sport mod" guys a little nervous sitting at the lights watching her disappear....does anybody know how to say "red light"?

Adrian..... hah hah hah

Ha Ha, seems everybody is O.K. with the GTR parts but no badges. thats cool. wasnt keen on badges anyway.

Feck it, im running out and buying a GTR badge for my GTST...only because it seems to annoy so many people. Actually i sae an E33 Vspec sticker for sale the other day, throw that on as well.

It's a funny idea but as we discussed on the phone the other day, not exactly safe. A car that runs low 10's being chased down by a car running high 7's isn't cool. It's the same drama as SuperSedan right now. 210mph MR MAD type cars chasing down a car that left 4 WHOLE SECONDS BEFORE THEM! :(

I guess thats why sport compact racing is so much better suited to our racing. ANDRA should have a good look at how we divide classes up. with the exception of 4WD racing against 2WD, but we wont go there again.

Its definately the speed difference that is scary. Just like how your car runs 120mph and mine will run 160mph, HaHa.

You're the biggest! :):O:)

Hey, just noticed the g/box and manual conversion in the classifides, your the biggest, something you should be telling me?

Yeah...he's getting a little lazy in his old age...couldn't be tossed shifting his own gears.

Obviously you know something about manualised automatics that the rest of us don't, Pauly-D'Mac! :)

It's true, i'm getting lazy - I could SO be tossed though!!!

this thread is more like it...............ha ha

As some of you know, i have purchased a R32 GTST, i have purchased a GTR rear Diff assy for strength, GTR rear quarter panels as to run a larger tyre, and a GTR front style bar to suit the large front mount.

I have no intentions of changing the front guards, running GTR wings Or Badging it as such, but it seems that some members of this forum not mentioning any names 2rismo, BU5TER and all the other whale riders have already labeled it as a GTR cheater ricer wanabe. So my question is, what classifies a car as a GTR wanabe. Someone who is using parts for performance improvement, or one who badges his GTST as a GTR although it is stock. all opinions welcome, as in my opinion nitrous is the for cheater ricer f**ks and 2rismo knows im going to chop him hard.

    • 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.
