Join the club Paul (Technically I havent *sat* in it but I did lean on/drool over it)

:P

Im sure there have been many to drool over it....but to be able to sit in it, remove rear deck lid, open bonnet...heck we even got to push it around...lol.........but no starting it up....damn!!

ive even worked out what HKS stands for

Hello

Kitty

Seatpad

hehehe

na hks stands 4

Hong

Kong

Shit

HKS

H and K are the first letter of the last name of each the two owners

the S stands for Sigma i think.

So whats the deal did it run? did Reece Run any times?

you are correct on the HKS name...i was just having a joke...the Bride racing seat in the HKS car has a "hello kitty seatpad"

it did not run but here's some news about Reeces runs...

Heat Treatments GTR

The HT team didn't really expect to break any records at taupo. Despite this, the car still ran a solid 7.77, and then a 7.78. The 7.7 pass should have been quicker, as the car crept on the line and red lit before Reece actually launched (the timer starts from when the beam is broken). The next pass was looking great, with a PB mph to half track (152mph!!), but unfotunately the front diff broke in the 2nd half of the track. Becuase the front diff is integral with the sump, it also cracked this part, putting the car out of action for the afternoon.

Yeah i knew you were joking as for the Hello kitty seat pad WTF were they thinking not my taste at all, thats one part i never liked about the HKS car :wave:

Had Reece changed anything on on the car?

lucky as. pics pics

Have realised our cable to connect camera to computer is at home....have to wait till we get back to Aust on Sunday.

Is there any particular parts of the car you would like to see....such as where they set the dials on the torque split controller ?

Na not really :D just every pic you took of it :D

Now hurry up and get on the damn plane :D

we lift the hood on the beast

1252585imgcz8.th.jpg

standard coil packs are an interesting find

1252584imggt1.th.jpg

1252583imgxg7.th.jpg

a big thanks goes to Daryl at Redline Performance for allowing us a few hours with the car

1252591imgux5.th.jpg

1252590imgdk9.th.jpg

the lever closest to driver is for the parachute

1252598imgnp2.th.jpg

all the ATTESSA pumps are relocated to the passenger seat area. There is normally a carbon fibre cover over these for asthetics which they allowed me to remove to photograph

1252599imgvp4.th.jpg

note where they have the torque split set..the dots they have put on the unit indicate this is their true race position

1252597imgxs5.th.jpg

i see they use a "DiRTgarage" style 4WD 2WD switch for burnouts

1252592imgjh2.th.jpg

the famous Hello Kitty Seatpad

1262617imgxn4.th.jpg

note the angled flange to change the direction the air enters the port

1262614imghr6.th.jpg

solonoids for air shift mechanisim

1262620imgzm7.th.jpg

fuel system comprises of a small fuel cell and 3 bosch 044 pumps

1262604imguf1.th.jpg

dash is a simple as a shift light, a gear indicator, a brake pressure guage, a warning light (low oil pressure) and an oil pressure guage.

1262603imgks8.th.jpg

the result of no air filters...compressor wheel has certainly seen better days

1252589imgaq9.th.jpg

the std boost guage sensor was an unlikely thing to spot

1252586imgml0.th.jpg

three stage dry sump pump..two scavenge pickups and one feed...keen eyes will spot the ATI balancer

1252600imgze2.th.jpg

this would be the heaviest hydraulic clutch ive ever operated.

    • 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
