its expensive. its 120 for 24 hours plus 150 deposit. id love the trailer for a few days so i can load the car on thursday night so i just hook it up and drive away friday and the return it saturday. i just dont wanna fork out 3 days trailer hire when it just sits there for most of it.

They are pretty easy to wire in, and it should have a pretty straight forward wiring diagram to help you out too. Helps if you have a test light to check for your constant power, accessory power and earth though...

Hey everyone the babys back on the road soon..

just got the 2nd radiator today.. after the gearbox replacement got a weeks driving in b4 it shat itself :yes:

and i have a carbon fibre hood for sale too!

bloody department of trans.. (F**KERS!) :thumbsup:

is anyone good at installing head units, i basically just need mine wired up, ive installed it into the single din, im just not sure on the wiring...

i petty sure you can buy an plug that plugs straight into the old loom from supercheap. then its just a matter of connecting the plug you bought with the plug on the new head unit. just connect the ires basiclly.

Hey guys looking for some Sunny Coast knowledge here. Recently got my P's and I want to finally do some work on my car. Its a stock R33 with only some pretty average rims. At the moment I have around $4.5k to spend on it. I got $800 rego due soon so i'd make it around 3.8k I was wondering if anyone could point me to a panel beater or similar that could either fit a bodykit and make the paint look new again or simply fit the bodykit and respray the car in the same colour? Anyone think it would be possible to get it done for around the 2-3k mark? Kits costing me $900 from DMD who want 2.6k in total to fit and colour code it, no fixing of paint elsewhere.

Just after opinions.

PS please don't mention its a GTS and why waste my money etc as i'll be driving it for 3years and the bodykits really the only mod i'm going to do as the stock one depresses me. Once i'm off my p's i'll get what I can for it and buy a turbo or a GTR if I can scrape the money together.

yuukkk GTIR lol.

wats actual wrong with the body work? is the body kit a different colour or sumshit?

And kitwalker i would say marty, everyone of my mates with performance/import cars get their work done there and I've spoken to him a number of times about some things concerning my 32 and he is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable.

I'm not sure, for the price u have quoted on here, u might get kit installed and have it painted but for a full respray you'll find it alot more expensive then that unless you know somebody who will do you mates rates.If your paint is still in good condition and isnt faded or clear coat peeling or anything, id advise for you to go get a meguirs' clay bar and quik detailer kit and use that on your paint, i recently did it on a car and it came up 100 times better, then i did a polish like normal on the car all over. it takes a full day when u first do it but its wrth the results for your efforts. P.S. (dont use the clay bar directly on your paint work without lubricating first with quik detailer before you rub the paint.)

u got any interested buyers for your 33 yet daz?

EDIT: i just relised u got a GTR :D

what colour is it?? Im ganna drive past that place where u work and check it out haha

hahah did u take this on sunday arvo?

awesome car man :D

    • 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
    • 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.
