Hey people, long time member, new poster :)

Well the names Jarrod i'm 18 and live on the Gold Coast ;)

Got bored today so thought i just come on and chuck up some picks of my car :)

Now i know most of you will probably HATE it (most people do) but oh well, its my car not yours and the decisions are mine to make :D

So it's a 1990 Nissan R32 Skyline GTS 4-door.

RB20DE :(

Standard exhaust with rear muffler cut out and replaced with straight pipe.

Automatic :(

Stock suspension and brakes. (which are s**t)

Standard wheels but i have a set of 14x8-inch meshies with 195/60 front and 235/60 rear that will be on soon.

Roof is bright green, bonnet is black and the rest is white. (colour change soon) have some cool little drawings on the boot and thats about it.

Car only cost me $500 and was bought stock standard so all the work has been done by me as i am a learning panel beater and this is just a car to practice on.

haha nice bucket you got there...ah least it's a car you'll learn stuff off that isn't as boring as your stock corolla or excel.

you never know, it might be respectable after you finish the schooling.

Haha cheers mate, and yeah your right on the money there, Corollas and Excels are shit house boring and plain lame.

Lol here's hoping.

It's like someone took the best parts of two cars to make one good car...and then made another car with the other parts :P

Certainly a project on your hands!

Hahaha :)

Yeah it is a bit of a project, but since i am a learning panel beater it will be good for experience. Hopefully within the next couple of weeks it will be Midnight black, the drawings on the boot will be done using a template and will be Monza red and they will fill that whole panel, and i will be making a custom fiberglass front lip unless my mate can find me a cheap kit. :)

    • 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.
