Morning Mangs,

Martin's school of fixing sh*t, lesson 1:

1. unplug everything.

2. Spray with contact cleaner.

3. Plug everything back in.

4. ???

5. Profit.

The above technique applies to many things: cars, computers, plasma TVs, etc.

Stomped hard on the brakes lots on the way to work, car doesnt seem to be cutting out any more. Also my speedo seems to have come good as well :/.

fark i hate mondays.

how was sundays racing?

Meh, broke sh*t, didn't get many laps in, and got sunburnt. Sh*t happens.

haha nice mang. What do you normally run around there?

64.3ish is my best. I'm sure the car is capable of more, I just haven't been able to string a lap together. This year in particular seems to be conspiring against me.

win

Way more awesome than that is that I did 7 laps, and came 31st overall :blink::P;)

more win

double post win?

double post lose

Anyone notice the severe thunderstorm and hail warning?

pfft, just drove home throught it, its a pissweak storm.

win

more win

That's what she said

Anyone notice the severe thunderstorm and hail warning?

i think they are ignoring you....

seems to have passed though just light rain here

:blink: to all :P

Howdy partners..

Yes I noticed the thunderstorm warning, not a concern for me, being that i'm in Townsville.

McFly, much awesomeness.

anyone know the diameter of 32 GTR standard front pipes? Guy is selling a set on her for $150 but they are twin 63mm pipes into a 75mm collector. Just wondering whether it's worth the trouble. Still $150 is not bad. I think the HKS ones are 70mm to 80 or 85mm collector.

was pretty heavy at 3. I could see about 4 feet.

didn't even know there was a storm. spent all day in the office. was kinda surprised when i saw it was wet outside when i finished at 5

2.5inch twins into 2.95inch

VS.

2.75inch twins into 3.15inch (or 3.35inch)

Consider that they need to flow enough for 1.3ltrs each. Or to break it down further, only enough power for up to 150kw each. Easily doable with 2.5" crush bent exhaust, I made 170kw atw in my old 626 wagon with 2.5" crush bent system.

What size cat and exhaust are you running? 3"?

Compliance cat and 3inch catback. I think I'll grab em. Low ball ftw.

Morning Mangs,

Futsal was a great success even though we lost :wub: Tristan and Dan dogged us so we only had 5 players. We ended up losing 8 - 7 but it could of gone either way at the end. I scored 4 :)

    • 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.
