pics with new wheels yet ? car is beautifull dude :blink:

Thanks for the compliment.

Yeah I got the wheels fitted on my car last month but didnt get the chance to take some photos of them while they were on the car. The old wheels have been back on the car (pretty much the whole time) because I actually want to sell the 57S-PRO's (going towards the house) so they have just been sitting in the garage...

I havent advertised yet, but if anyone is interested please PM me.

Cheers,

Glen

Wow I haven't viewed this thread in a while!

Thanks again so much for all of the compliments! :D

Oh and NZM.031, I actually sold those wheels on this forum a couple of months after I got them because it actually didnt look as good as I thought it would on my car! Unfortunately I didnt take any photos when the wheels were on the car... too embarrased! LOL JJKS!

So for now i'm just sticking with the stockers... who knows, might get something new in the future...

Hey all,

I was going through some old random pics that my brother took with his phone and I stumbled upon some photos he took when I had just fitted the new Gram Lights. I had totally forgotten about these!

Let us know what you think! :)

BUT I'd have to say the photos from the OP is slightly better!

Oh yeah definitely. The photos from the original post were done by a proper digital camera, where as these photos with the new wheels were just done with my brothers phone camera so yeah... no comparison there! :(

Now the wheels... they may look better than the stock R34 GT-R rims but they really made the car worse to drive! Ie - cornering and acceleration were noticably worse as the wheels were made of cast and not even forged!

So.... definitely light weight racing wheels are on the agenda!

how about something like XD9's :down: was bored so i thought i'd play on photoshop haha

WOW!!! You photoshop'ed that one nicely Darkness_Ryda1!!! :blink:

Yeah I was actually thinking of getting CE28N's (which look heaps similar!) because they are an awesome lightweight wheel!!! Cant decide though which colour I would get though... either titanium silver or bronze...

Do you reckon you can photoshop my car with bronze CE28N's Darkness_Ryda1???

More pics! :D

Interior + Engine too... but forgot to give the engine a bit of a clean!

Oh and with the interior, you guys are either going to love it, or hate it! Either way, the intended purpose of the car is very clear! :laugh:

Did the best i could with the ce28n's... they have always been my fav wheel. i've seen them in life on a white R34 GTR and they are just droooool material. but you get the idea:

Also did a quick engine bay pic for looks to :P

Thanks again man! Gives me a good perspective of what my car would look like with them on! Hahaha nice job with the engine bay too!

    • 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.
