g'day northerners, im from vic

coming upto coast on 20th of april with the missus. staying at mantra on cavell ave.

just wondering other then the theme parks whats there to do round there.

did the theme park thing years ago and kinda over it. anything like 'only in surfers' that we can do.

we staying 6 nights

you posted in the wrong coast. lol go clubbing, get a bus to casino.

lol just went to take the gtr out, flat battery! its a new battery too bought it couple weeks ago cause the old one was dying every week or so.

Now im thinking that something is draining it, possibly the alarm system? its a 2-way system...or maybe its something a little more involved.

time to find a bat charger or get jump started lol, oh the joy!!

have you got a stero installed or many aftermarket accessories. i can recomend a c-tek battery charger might pay a little bit for it, but you can leave it on 24\7 and not worry. if you want i can check it out for you?

normaly they should last 2 months or more sitten, but as your clock and other shit drains it after a wile so the more stuff off the battery less it will last

alarm wouldnt drain it, as its only a flashing led that draws sfa and the alarm has battery back up.

and one for everyone, when a battery flatterns, it will never get back above 40-50% unless you use a battery charger

o and was there anyone on a car cruze today, with a few bmw's as about 30-40 cars just went past my house at the woombye overpass few skylines there to

theres a stereo but its only a mini disc head unit, nothin special no amps or anything, i noticed i got a gps box in the boot too, never knew it was in there till yesterday lol i cant see that using much though, the alarm system only has a few leds on the dash which would use hardly any power to run, im just trying to get me head around what could be draining it, i ended up roll starting it yesterday let it run for a bit then killed it then it started fine again after that so it seems the alternator is alright

hey guys, Im about to go on my Ps and iv saved up around 12 grand to buy a skyline :x Anyone know a car yard / import that i can get my hands on? ^_^

well thats a good sign, if you got some multi meters you can test it

i'd say it be best to get a charger, if you dont drive it much, it'll sit and just keep going flat and kill your batteries in no time

Yeah mate I know where you can get a really nice one for around $10,000 it is worth way more than that .

Cheers.

    • 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.
