Very nice pictures all up of both cars and girls, thanks a heap for the uploads. When and where is TAS held each year? I ought to go next time when I go to japan.

youre welcome mate. hope the res was good enough.

the salon has traditionally been held at the Makuhari Messe in Chiba which is roughly an hour and a half by train from Tokyo station. Its not hard to find and you cant really get lost because thousands of likeminded people are heading in the same direction.

It will cost you about 20 dollars to get in and then its a free for all once you do...

if your funny, witty enough and foreign , Japanese girls will take a likening to you. Just dont get busted with your camera up her skirt! :sleep:

if your talking about the motor in the top secret supra, its from a toyota century

yep, hes correct. the 5.0 280ps 1GZ-FE.

Im sure smoky is strangling more than 1200 ps out of it and God knows how much torque..

Heres another thread with some other assorted pics..

Poida 's Pics in the Japan Forum

Nice pics adam.. Did you get to work on the next day? I have some cracker fotos from Shirokiya with Keita too that night.. Hehehe...

^_^

Hey,

Pics are great!! Cheers for posting them up here for all to see!

Was there at TAS in 2004 and will definitely go back again, the show as you know is just totally amazing! 1 Day is not enough at all to look through it everything...then you start checking out the carpark haha..

Just a lil pic of me next to the Top Secret GTR and Mines GTR at TAS 04

well the thread has taken off and on that note i would like to post round 2 of the photos from TAS 07'.

Cheers!post-33653-1169166360.jpgpost-33653-1169166472.jpg The chopped S2000 was wicked! Its a shame they dont make them all like this.

This Celsior was one of my personal favourites. I simply could not believe the level of customization the tuners took this car to... It had basically everything, including 4 water screens, hydro's, a single seat conversion with modified accelerator pedal and 4 gullwing doors... post-33653-1169166743.jpg

the interior was incredible..post-33653-1169167085.jpgpost-33653-1169167199.jpg[attachmen

thesse calipers were made by tunng house, "parfume"...wtf?post-33653-1169168008.jpg

The guys that had the NATS stand are a group of studentss studying at the aussie equivalent of automotive TAFE...

They had a budget, including car purchase of 1 Million yen...thats only 9 Grand!! and just check out what they managed to create within those guidelines!

this used to be a run down FD..post-33653-1169168211.jpgpost-33653-1169168281.jpg

try to guess what the donor car was....post-33653-1169168366.jpgpost-33653-1169168461.jpg

not bad for a 9k R32, is it?post-33653-1169168576.jpg

then there was this wide body GT style soarer. It looked the biz and considering the price, these kids did a great job.

yes it was rough around the edges but it still looked pretty tough..post-33653-1169169049.jpgpost-33653-1169169236.jpg

the supra style front bar looked the goods..post-33653-1169169307.jpg

nice 6 series with gullwing doors...post-33653-1169169430.jpgpost-33653-1169169467.jpgpost-12730-1123035141.gif

Thats crazy.. how many cars were there exactly? I'd love to see and learn more about them.

Edited by sleepyboi

so how excaclty do you drive that pimped up black car???? the seats are obviously too low for anyone to see out the front windscreen and where are the pedals located? left of the center colum or the right???if thats the case how do you drive something like this??

    • 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.
