Don't break your cars anytime soon.

Nissan Motor Co said it would resume production at its Kyushu plant on Thursday and Friday for as long as inventories of parts last. Other auto-assembly plants, as well as its Yokohama engine plant, will remain closed. Nissan did not disclose the number of vehicles affected.

Nissan said transmission plants were damaged and have stopped operations because of another earthquake on Tuesday in Shizuoka, southwest of Tokyo.

what's the headcount like for this afternoon?

I should be able to manage yet another one of my brief pit stops

Will be there for a similar pitstop.

I'm in for tonight. Probably walking however :( New radiator won't be ready for another week or so and after the radiator goes in it still needs to be sent to EFI for tuning so it may be two more weeks until I have her back. At least I should have a few more killerwasps for the hive with the intercooler and new ECU and it won't go boom with the PWR radiator :)

Nice!

I fixed it!

That's my days work right there.

Good shit bru.

Good Job, Team.

Mr Motorvation right here.

Thats what she said.

THat's what she said.

I like you, Noel

That's what Marty said.

fixed

AS in Neutered?? :blink:

They don't make parts for 31s any more anyway.

Will be there for a similar pitstop.

Nice!

I now have a nice stainless dump and front pipe for teh stag.

Dump and front pipe

Bit eBay Spec, but it'll do for $120 :D

Doesn't look too bad :thumbsup:

Got the old lady out of horsepetal today so probably a no show tonight.

That seems like good news :)

Give my regards to the girls and tell them thanks for the mamarys.

Will do.

You think I sit at my desk with clothes on...

I think you don't have a desk and this is all a ploy to make us think you are someone important!

I knew as soon as someone mentioned 'that's what she said', you'd show up lol

You're right :(

It's really just a stainless table from IKEA. Looks like something you'd cut an animal up on :shrugs: Maybe I'm Brisbanes very own Dexter.

My ears where burning... What can I say!

Not the thighs of someone rubbing on them?

LOL.

Picked up some brake pads on the way home, putting them in on sunday. One thing to cross off the list.

One of the many pics of the Japan aftermath.

Not sure what the car was, but I wouldn't mind the brakes of it.

Will have to spend some time perusing japan auctions in the upcoming months :P

    • 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.
