Don't get verdes.

Why?

I wanna be ballllllllerrrrr

Just got a glowing performance review despite the fact i have done very little for the last 6 months! Win!

Sounds like my job hahahaha

Yeah brakes are next on my list. And the cat + front pipes fitted. Will have to wait for a bit though since I'm all out of money again after buying 4 new tyres and rego + insurance on the GTR.

yes that would add up!

I cant decide what to do brakes wise, the Ksports look pretty good....but all my other stuff is brandwhore...but brakes inparticular seem to carry a massive brand tax. though with the Aus dollar so good willwood and stoptech become pretty good options

Have you had a look at the porche brembos? Another one that would be worthwhile looking at while the dollar is up there. Have a look on ebay the only thing is getting the adapters made up etc. The stoptech brakes look like a good package aswell though and less f**king around.

Im all for no f**king around!

I think Ksport has the inside running at the moment, I saw so many cars using them to great effect down at superlap and everything i need gets delivered to my door, If i could find a decent set of r33 GTR brembos I would use them but every one wants too much, Its really making me regret that i didnt hold on to the set i had on the old R32 for longer. I had them in my garage for ages but them swapped them for the engine in Annas car.

Rotas are reasonably cheep. Could try them? Atleast they copy some nice looking wheels. Or have a look at the advanti rims that option 1 sell.

Yeah ideally I want some white thin 5 spoke ones... or some chrome/shadow chrome like my old ones.

But lately I've liked the idea of filling the entire space with some massive chrome bling dinner plate style thing....... so ridiculous....... so beautiful......... *sheds a tear*

you could sell the ones you have though right? Change over wouldnt be so bad

The ones in my pic were sold a few months ago...... I'm running 16" wheels that are similar to stockos at the moment

    • 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.
