Hey guys,

It's been a while since we've all caught up for a cruise. So we are finalising plans for the next cruise now.

The Newcastle (and local area skylines) will be travelling south this time down to Bateau Bay to hopefully meet up with any Central Coast skylines :angry: . If people would like to bring football's and camp chairs along so we can be comfy and entertained that would be great. If people have any suggestions for lunch and anything else then please voice them too. The last cruise we went on the the water works was a great day - so make sure you let any skyliners who dont check SAU regularly know that this is event is on too.

Details

When: Sunday 22nd October, 2006.

Locations: From Newcastle to Batteau Bay.

Time: Meetup at 9:00am at Spears Point carpark. Leave at 9:30am. (Try to be there on time, its annoying waiting for stragglers).

Route: Will be given out on the day.

Food: Apparently there is some nice little fast food joints opposite the place we will be parking at for lunch.

Cars attending: (16)

Hey Dave,

You can count me and Pete in on this.

We'll be in my car for this cruise, Pete blew his gearbox in the 32, and won't be fixed in time.

Yippee my car gets to come out of the shed other than just to run the kids to school.

Krissy..

Post this up in the central coast thread.

A few of us coasties will be interested in heading out to meet you guys.

Just a side note about the haven. For the past 2 weeks it has been defect central (having a RTA bus out there and all). So if you are heading down on a Thursday night, don't go into the haven. >_<

Yeah man I realise that. Thats why I said "just a side note". Was more for anyone in the Newie area who was thinking about cruising down on a Thurs just for fun sake.

:)

So it will be safe from cops on a sunday?

ill talk with some of the hornsby crew and we might cruz up and meet with you

Sounds good, more skylines the better :D

I will come along to this one. It has been ages since I have been on a cruise. The other half will bring her car along to, so count JEV666 and KAI53Y in for the day.

OMG!!! KAI53Y is the black 34 BR3TT took a pic of at Wesfield Tuggerah and posted on cc thread!!!

My plate is KA53YS !!! I'm a white R33!

SHAZZAMMM!!! he he he!!! :laugh:

    • 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.
