I am proposing a show and shine day with the Supra club at the Wheels show in March 2009.

Initial thoughts were to have the people of Canberra viewing our cars in the morning, casting votes on the best exterior and best engine bay. (no interiors as we don't walk half of Canberra looking inside our cars. Count the votes at 1pm and go home like we normally do.

This is an event that anyone could win and encourages these with more bling then swing to come on out and show their great looking cars.

This is a $0 cost event for entrants with maybe a few $$ for a couple of prizes.

Will we see the clean lines and silky black paint of Donnon's car overcome the custom paint job Ross's car has had? Only the people of Canberra can tell us.

This is a great idea mate.

I'm flattered, but embarrassed that you are making my car an example John, the poor old girl has got some battle scars and is need of a freshen up, but this won't happen until late next year. Then again we do have another Supra that has been worked on for a number of months now that would make mine look like a Celica........ :)

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
