Yeah that was me. Should have mentioned it was a line! lol :P

hahahhaa! Small World.

Thanks for that hey, was the most helpfull bit of information I got! Price was good and they booked me in to get the container picked up and packed in time for it to go back to Maersk!

They also let me hang around and let me drive the car into the container and let me watch them pack it to take photos for insurance.

Saved my ass =) was having dramas.

ohh yeah! Do you have access to Vessel tracking? I am wondering where the car is now :P I have the call sign and container number if that helps.

Glad to hear it all worked out and if/ when you bring it back you know who to call :P

I dont't think Maersk have any online tracking I'll PM you there numbers to call and they will be able to give you all the info.

Yeah, he has been asking me to move over there for a year now, and I kept saying no. Then he bribed me with women and food & alcohol and racing trips all over Europe so I could not refuse =), so I told him if we buy a Dyno then I will come over. - He got the money together for a Dyno that i suggested so its time to start a big adventure :P

Also the tuning situation over there is getting pretty bad, one of his mates got his car all up and running the other day after Guricha spent 2 weeks upgrading turbo manifolds intercooler etc etc and he was told NOT to boost his car.. a hour after getting the car back his itch for boost got the better of him and he destroyed his RB25, there are quite a few cars waiting for me and we have a drag day on the 26th of this month as well and I get to race his car because mine wont get there till August.

I don't think I will be offering remote tunes in Australia, you guys have got plenty of decent tuners here to tune for you. I will only do this for guys who are in remote areas / countries with no other option.

Haha, Anthony. I'm in one of those remote countries ))) U forgot. haha. China, man. When I eventually go back to Russia, I will surely make a trip to Georgia. For a drink or two haha.

Russia?? you serious! Where abouts? Maybe I will have to come visit you :P

yeah there are lots of Russian jokes getting around, just look at the site www.englishrussia.com oh my god there is some good shit on there.. classic!

Georgia have been trying very hard to break away from the Soviet style of life and is considered part of Europe these days. Eastern Europe :P

I just had a call actually from a mate living somewhere in georgia. wants to know if you can tune the nos jets in this beast. needs a bit more kick as it comes on to cabbage boost...

Russia?? you serious! Where abouts? Maybe I will have to come visit you :P

I'm stated in China right now. But I am coming back for holidays eventually haha. That would be great. Anyway, I got you MSN.

So let us all at SAU forums know how you doing when you arrive to Georgia. Include some photos please))).

Btw, those jokes are funny )))

You going to the Caribbean? Maybe you can touch down here in Trinidad, we need a competent tuner and I am sure I can get lots of fellas over here that are willing to have someone like yourself tune their car. PM me some prices to give the guys an idea and maybe something can happen.

Good on you Anthony!

Make sure to upload some youtube vids once you are settled in.

The cars over there are dynoed in "H" are they not? :huh:

    • 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.
