1> 85 KC Laser

2> 88 KE TX3 Turbo (fairly modified), twas in hot4's

had to rebuild the engine after too much boost, same happened with the next owner, and the owner before me. :D

3> 78 MK II 1.6 Escort (rear ended)

4> 77 MK II 2.0 Ghia Escort (blew engine)

car 3 and 4 merged together as one, the 1.6 manual come out of the 78 and replaced the 2.0 auto, fun. They were also my runabouts while I waited for the R32 to rock up.

5> 92 R32, see how long this sucker lasts :P

1) 88 300ZX .... awesome car kick the skylines butt, had a knack for going sideways ..... targa for those sunny days .... not a dent in it ..... loving relationship til we started having fuel problems .... it was spending 5 week blocks in workshops who hadnt a phucking clue what was going on .....and neither did i at that time .... just was costing me way too much, parts too hard to find and because nobody could fix the fuel problem it wasnt very reliable.

2) My R33 Skyline .... not as fast as ZX .... not as unique ( i actually had a lot more guys checking me out when i drove the Zed haha) But a horny looking car and money will fix it being a slowboat :) mechanically not much goes wrong *touchwood*

Be a sad day when i parents get rid of the Z .... would like to keep them both but cant afford it :) 300zx is great car when you dont have to use it every day!

1978 VB Commydoor

1987 VL turbo (at least it had a nissan motor)

1996 R33 GTSt. Mint car, really miss it sometimes. Now owned by Matty B on these forums.

1995 R33 GTR Vspec.. Fairly well modded. currently has 320hp at all 4 and will be aiming for over 400 at the rears once the new AFM's go on...

1) Voltswagon Beetle Baja (Had big flared guards and huge mags, mild tweaked 1600cc engine, dad and i spent about a year restoring it, looked Mint!!)

2) 88' Nissan Pulsar Vector SSS (Still got)

3) 95' Skyline R33 GTST (Engine rebuild starting very very shortly :) )

Hate to see how you'd rice a falcon! :)

I can't talk tho..

1 86 excel - fully doofed.. sold the car for less than the stereo was worth!

2. 86 VL RB30 - doofed with little mods.. only bought it cause it had an RB motor in it.

3. 95 R33 GTST - doofed and modded. maybe a few cheapo rice features.. :)

Used to have an EB falcon but it was more a gift than a buy, that was my first car. Man what a piece of junk that was.

First car i bought was a 1980 C210 Skyline.

Second was the almighty 91' Supra TT

Finally the good old 87' Auster Xtt :)

U can tell im stilll young eh :)

All turbos u might note, thats why they call me boostzor :)

    • 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.
