2000R34GTR - blk180 posted a pic of the cooler clamps I was trying to describe....never seen a car with those have cooler pipe problems, you may want to get silicone piping as well if you are going to run 2bar!

Top day kids

SOSK.. that was me you had that run in with at the end of the straight...sorry dude! but remember.. that's what happens when you mess with the 180. lol. I thought you were hanging back on the straight..until the last minute when you came down on me... I just had to hold my line and unfortunately that's what you wanted to do :thumbsup:

you can pay me back next time lol

lol.. and David.. you definitely got the most entertaining ride of the day! I've been commended on those efforts on several forums today already! Loved it!

Yogi, AdamsR33 and Ando .... I wish you were there boys!!! :thumbsup::(

I was like a lost kid without you

And finally Shell now since we have seen you twice three times now thats it i dont want to see you for another 12 months.

hehe i will be attending every event from now on just to annoy you :thumbsup:

and carlo, you would have gone faster if you didn't listen to Neil. lol

lol drunkan, it felt like a million hey! I would still be out there now if I hadn't run out of fuel.

that 180 is a damn tough car.

matt....do you know which bit is letting the smoke out? told yuo not to let your dad drive your car :thumbsup:

shaun - did a pair of jumper leads finally disappear or do we need to take a trailer back down there next weekend?

Thanks to everyone involved in another great SAU trackday- it was especially good to see alot of first timers out there.

Thanks also to David and Anna for being crazy enough to let me tell you where to go :thumbsup:

Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to take many pics, but here's a few snapped in the last few sessions..

(PM me if you own one of the cars shown and don't want it posted here).

You may have won the olympics, but you're still a retard..

Franks and bean .....where is my baseball

lol

the smokemeister wasn't there though :thumbsup:

yes he was he is the donky ahahahahaha :laughing-smiley-014:

Awesome day, thanx to all the organisers ! Special one to the Wakie guy that told us to Shut Up and scared the f$%k out of us noobies before the start !

Good to catch up with you Ryan and the kind lady(sorry i didnt catch your name) that lent my cousin her helmet !

SK for all tips !

The Silvia was crazy but so was the sound and speed down the straight of that gray 32gtr...

What a great day!

I met alot of new people, and that alone made the day worth while. Big thanks to Chris for the loan of the helmet! Youre a champ!

Liz was fair pwning out there; I think by the end of the day she was cracking well into 1:15s. A few more ponies down the straight and theyd be definite 1:14s or less. Grab some semislicks!

The bronchitis-phlegm green R31 was a real weapon. Ill join the stay-juh in the no-brakes-through-turn-1 class, although that could be because my 20rwkw of tyre chirping grunt couldnt propel me down the straight at anything more than crawling pace :thumbsup: The single peeler was definitely a problem; I was lighting the inside wheel on every single corner! A welder will sort that out no probs :sorcerer:

I was told I did 1:30s in the booger. Not quite as quick as my 180, but still good fun! (those that saw me driving from the passenger seat thanks to the almost bench seats can testify :laughing-smiley-014: )

Have a guess what turned up for my 180SX today though..

enginemounts.jpg

T28 + tuned length manifold + S15 radiator + nismo mounts all going in at once. OOH BABY OOH BABY!

-Luke

.........Big thanks to Chris for the loan of the helmet! Youre a champ! .............

LOL.. that was me who loaned you the helmet! I see you're just as good as remembering names as I am :domokun: Glad you had fun out there mate :thumbsup:

    • 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
