So who actually has a car that runs at the moment?

Think its about time we had a cruise or something. But all depends on who has a car to drive

Nah got no cars except the R32 which does not go cruising.

Yeah its not exactaly a stealth cruiser :P

Was just thinking you still have the NUR33 plates...... What are they going on next? Or are they just wall posters now?

Edited by 89CAL

NUR33 Plates are going on the Drift Car ;)

Got some new goodies for it this week will be putting the engine back together over the next couple of days. Just gotta order the new intake and exhaust manifolds.

All this talk about cars annoys me.. I want to buy another but I don't know what to buy.

Any suggestions?

Buy anything lol, GTR's are good but they come with a very expensive Tax epically R34's just ask Kingy, High Quality aftermarket parts are super expensive (Been there done that) and if not done right has great potential to bite you in the arse hard like any RB engine would. My choice of car at the moment would be Evo IX hands down. Cheap to purchase, cheap to buy parts for and handle anything you can throw at it.

My missus has given me the green light for my next project car 67 - 69 Chevy Camaro Coupe with LS9 conversion Old school car with New School running gear with a JDM style to it, will be a few years before that happens lol. Starting to research how that's gonna go i want a nice weekend cruiser with infinite Nm of torque :woot: .

I got one in Victoria street a few years ago. Never got around to paying it and never heard anything about it again. Maybe just lucky

definitely lucky! it says on the ticket that if its not paid the balance will increase. i have til 11th next month so whatever ill just pay it. still annoying as f**k though

I'm up for a drive for sure, can bring a few more guys with Skylines too.

Buy a V35 Jono :) Leon's missus has just got a white one

Havent seen it in the flesh but it looks pretty damn nice from the photo I've seen

Just copped a f*cking $80 parking fine while i was getting a haircut in victoria street. How can they issue fines when there's only 10 parking spots in the whole street, shits f*cked.

Yeah I got one for parking in the middle of the street outside Hogs Breath once when I was away for about 5 mins getting sushi. It is a loading zone, but they hardly ever patrol that area I think. Just unlucky really

On another note. I emailed Titan motorsport about an ATI balancer for an RB25 and they said there is no such thing and werent interested at all in helping

Emailed another American performance parts shop and they are going to contact ATI or get a custom one made.... lol no idea how expensive that is or if its just like one of the others I've seen which is just a mix of a few different ATI balancers

They won't make one for a RB25 you will need to get one for a RB26

Got a Little Bit done today not a great deal but, picked up some more bits today like a Full Z32 Gearbox Conversion Kit all Machined up ready to bolt up and also got a ATS Triple Plate Clutch for good measure to handle plenty of abuse :rolleyes:.

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • 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
