Thanks to you all for coming and big thanks to SAU crew organising it.

In regards to the EVO8 (FQ400), we still have lot of tuning to do and try different cam combination. We believe we could crack 350awkw on pulp.....we'll see how it goes next week or so.

:P

Thanks to everyone who had some involvment in organising the day. While I got to run after the kids all day, Keith got to talk to some of you, which was good :P Have photo's which I will put up soon. R34 not running well at all, breaks down about 4500rpm, will need a re-run when problem is fixed!

Well what a great day!!!! Arrived at about 1:30pm and couldn't believe how many people/cars that were there.. Really great turnout..

Big thanks to the SAU committee for running a very smooth and trouble free day, and more importantly to Ray and his boys, they went through 40 odd cars on the dyno, very quick and efficient...

Thumbs up to RE Customs!!!!

Thanks to everyone who made the effort to come down, renew their membership, join the club or just to hang out and have a chin wag!

Big thanks to Mav for organising and the rest of the committee and anyone else who helped out on the day and made it successful.

Also, huge thanks to Ray and RE Customs for hosting our event. A great supporter of the club!

As for my day, very disappointed by results. About 75kw down on what I exepected but meh *shrug* I guess I'll have to work on it to bring it back up. Tune looked pretty crappola so Ray is going to have a look at it along with a couple other little issues I have with the car.

Congrats to all the prize winners!

Sounds like a great day and some awesome power from the Evo 8.

Well done Mav for organising and good team work from Chris and Scott on the BBQ by the look of it.

Finally we see a picture of the hoist Matt's 34 seems to live on! :P j/k

Kyle Como 98

woo! 5 free kw's! :P

Awesome day and as well a big thanks to RE for hosting the event! Such a pitty I couldn't have the R there but hopefully by the next one she'll be going strong and i'll be in it for max power not least :laugh:

Nice to meet the Vic crew, thanks Matt for letting me go on the dyno....... There where some awesome cars and the kw's of the other r33's where mad.

I am sorry I let the r33 GTR boys down.......

Yes it is my R33 GTR with 143.4 or 144 kw @ the wheels. I was very disappointed when I went home and checked againts my other sheets. Then a brain wave hit me AVO was done in 3rd gear..... 175kw 2 months ago......

So I thought some more 2 months panel beater no driving dust..... OK maybe it might need a service and a tune.

ReCustoms and my first dyno done last year before my NISMO parts where done in 4th so thought OK I will check it out what I have lost 15kw in 4th WTF......

Then I hooked up my notebook to the ECU on the GTR on Sunday morning..... ECU is in limp mode WTF..... Checked a whole heap of stuff timing is out, this is out this is not set correctly, boost wound down by it self from 10 to stock........

So I thought some more, I had a flat battery when I picked it up 2 weeks ago. OMG the ECU is reset back to Factory!

So my plans now is as follows paint protection then new tyres because the ones I have are shot......

Then off I go to get my ECU remapped and boost wound up. Next year unfortunately :P

BTW the things that are on my car is as follows for those interested

NISMO Highflow CAT

NISMO Highflow filter

HKS CAMS kit

Speed Limit override AVO

If you want a stock list it is as long as most of your guys MODS list :unsure:.

They are the only things changed on my car. But my car definately looked good. ;)

For those interested My car was resparayed at Lightwood Autos 6 Newcombe Road Springvale. Ask for Travis

Mav. well done..

It was a great day

And thumbs up to Ray and the guys

Also Paul n Sarah for spending all day on the table doing memberships ....

Not to forget Chris and sometimes Scott on the BBQ

And yeah i love the key ring (SAU MEMBER) very nice

Also good to meet a lot of new people .....

Cheers .......

    • 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.
