My mate just got his new toy delivered...its Yuey Tan's Changi Airport sponsored Porsche Cup car that famously raced and beat a Boeing 747 in a promotional race prior to last years Singapore Grand Prix (see link). Before purchasing he also got to test drive the car for 2 days at Sepang and cut 7 seconds of his lap times after recieving some expert tuition.

The car adds to an already impressive stable of rides including a mint Porsche Cup 996 (never raced only ever used by its Japanese owner for the occaisional track day) GTR R34, GTR R32 (11000klm on it), and four very low klm Mazda rotaries (R100, RX4 Savanna etc)

During his stay in Malaysia he made some very good contacts and is planning to take both Porsches back to Sepang and hold track days there for those with pockets large enough. :D

He will be doing the Drive Bathurst day later this year in the new car...bastard!!

Will upload some phone pic shots tonight.

It is depressing how much money there is over here in Singapore and also Malaysia. Such expensive and uber cool toys everywhere. Except for the pink R35 i saw on Wednesday that had a black roof drift style and had the most obvious mask lines from the respray.

Cant wait to do Sepang, just have to wait and hear what car a friend is organising for me , i would rather a punt of this thing :D

Brad said having two whole days at Sepang test driving the car was an absolute blast...he learnt so much from having as he put it "Asia's Jim Richards" sitting next to him. Having the 996 for two years was a suitable 'appertiser' for this car...which i would put as a dessert served as a main!

I am in Joo Chiat, so sms me your contact number while here. I would love to go to Malaysia this weekend but too busy with work...

Out of interest do you know what sort of times he got down to at Sepang? I am hunting around trying to find out what a good time is.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ?

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By Duncan · Posted

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
