its a new colour in 2011 models

you will cream your jeans for sure when you see one in person, they are seriously beautiful...

its similar to the old R33 4 door "deep blue" colour...

Color suits the car well, that's for sure! Will yours have color matched bumpers though? Or that 90's spec grey? ...are those a pillars black? And... are they led running lights?

attention scott and colin, i won't be able to make it tomorrow night, i actually have an important meeting that i need to attend. I will organise pick up and payments later.

Scott if your in the valley tomorrow give me a bell, i pm'd you my number in faceparty

So... what's the weirdest thing people have found in a car they're doing a service on?

Today I found a dinner plate in a Barina. Just one plate. In the passenger footwell...

I've been having the worst farkin week. I read this and I lol'd like never before.

SAU can cheer a negro up.

But OT, when I was looking at XR6T's, I looked at one at a Fraud dealership, opened the bonnet and had a bit of a look around for leaks etc, when I saw my reflection down the side of the manifold with "Objects in mirror may be closer than they appear" some muppet had left a mirror in the engine bay when they were getting the engine no. Needless to say I didn't buy that car.

Sarp Mangs. Shit day is shit.

Apparently Godzilla and Heat Treatments are running at the test n tune at Willowbank on Friday night. Anyone keen to go see some 7 sec passes?

If it's a test and tune night it's free for spectators. You'll see cars running anywhere from 8 second passes to 18 second passes. All kinds of shit will be there running all kinds of times.

John, what was that tyre from? Has to be a truck of some kind... clearly?

My skyline passed it's road worthy inspection... have 2 people interested to come look over the weekend. I'm sad/happy. pinch.gif

I meant what time does it start and what time does it finish. But 8 second passes would be nice to see.

Some quick digging says that there's a top fuel drags on on friday, not a test and tune. And also that its 20 bucks for spectators at test and tunes aswell.

It wasn't on anything, just sitting there. The 155/55/R13s next to it looked like doughnuts!!

Last time I went to a test and tune it was free for me to be a spectator. Maybe they are charging because the top fuel is on later?

8 second passes are fun to watch, I was more impressed by some of the real POS looking cars running 10-11 however. Also, the old Corolla with a 20C rotor in it made me happy in my pants ;)

I was gonna say... test and tunes have never been free to watch...

    • 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.
