Magic I just chased up some more info then, was at the workshop but missed Jeff and the boys were flat out with peoples cars getting ready for Auto Salon. Dont worry about the suggestion of Nungen as you need a price duties paid sitting in your garage not FOB price as to vague, we should support local so stories like J-Shop (it is in general just J-Shop are the latest) don't happen to often.

I am trying mate, no one is able to source them for me though. Imports 101 are the only people so far, so it's looking like the way to go.

Jeff just emailed me 5mins ago, he said he can't source them either. :thumbsup:

Yeah I met Mike on the weekend, we had a chat. I'll think it over I've had a few offers now. Mike, your partner def didn't end up emailing me a price though, just checked my mail then. Nengun have also got back to me with a good ETA on them, so I'm a bit indecisive atm.

Just FYI for those who were getting me quotes from their business. I've got full cash now, so today is last day for people who said they could get them for me to get me a price on them. Or else I'm going gambling with my money with Nengun tonight. :wave:

Just heard back from WEDS and in the size and offset I'm after they have 0 left in stock. The next batch will be completed as of early October!

Not sure what I'll do now. Kinda ruins my chances of gettin into Motorvation too. So devo. :D Might still put my name down for the back-order.

Perfect Run stock them and they have the quickest delivery time out of any company ive ordered from i always get parts within a week or 2

I have called them and they dont stock them man.

If no one has them in store at the moment, the next international batch gets made by early october from Weds Japan, so no matter where you go it's the same waiting list on the SA-70s.

Thanks anyway Michael, I ordered the 18 inchers with 9" width all round and +32 offset. :O

Hey Mate,

Tech9 get them, talk to Scotty, I know he can get them cos he offered them to me for my gtr and showed me the pics the supplier sent him. And im pretty sure they will be coming from over east so eta should be f all. Their number is 93143889.

Regards,

Steve

Why is everyone recommending me places AFTER I've already ordered them lol.

I know Scott. He is yet to get me a price. But your right, Tech9 resell for Weds official Australian Reseller over in NSW, Stamford. who I also spoke with directly, who are also yyet to hear back from Weds with a price and timeframe. None of these places usually stock Weds in store, they aren't very common so it's usually back order. Besides that one at jap perf parts that someone on here mentioned they had. Turns out it was sold a while ago, and it was in bronze.

I've found that getting someone in Japan to walk into Weds store personally and order it is by far more easier, which I have done. :cool:

But cheers for all the help and tips along the way guys. I'll post up pics of course when I get them in October.

    • 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.
