Just back from our first Stagea cruise...it was awesome !

Massive thanks to those who organised it as an "all terrain drive" cruise LOL ...well most of us had 4WD capability so that was OK (just joking)

Seriously, we were humbled to meet such a delightful group of peeps who are so passionate about their cars. Your warm welcome into the group was

greatly appreciated & (for us)it was heaps nice to see couples & kids on a cruise.

We very much look forward to the next one ! (maybe we can be tempted into organising a winter cruise...end up in a pub with an open fire for lunch)

"the OLDS"

Jules & Mark

Good cruise guys good to see good numbers out there representing. good to catch up with some of you again and meet some new peps as well. will be good to see some footage and pics. oh well im off to find a new radiator now and chuck it in :mad: any one know if there the same as 33 skyline rad ?

cheers

jason, Rose and little Mia

Great day out, thanks for organising it Glenn, and thanks to Brad and Dunc for the rides.

What did we learn?

  1. Stagea's are awesome on dirt
  2. Dunc's car goes much better than mine
  3. Billy drives like an old mole

Roads were my kind of thing, a nice mix but some good twisty stuff. Shame car wasn't going but will be tomorrow.

If you're planning a cruise ending at a pub for lunch Mark, count me in. Sounds awesome, maybe up through the hills to Lobethal, Birdwood or the like?

And Glenn, I have to ask, was the dirt intentional? Or did you take a wrong turn?

great day out today guys. thanks for organising it glenn. As all have said, it was a great turnout. good to see some fresh faces and seeing some stagea cruise repeat offenders too!

great idea for a lunch/pub stop cruise mark, i'll be keen for that one.

gotta trry and get a southern cruise organised for next month now, the pressure is on, no u turns and no dirt roads tho?? u guys are way to fussy :nyaanyaa:

here some shots from the day

O' Jules & Mark

Hope you get your radiator sorted 4bidn1 from what I saw the radiator looked the same as my R33 on the top but mine didnt have the auto cooling at the bottom.

Im spewing I had to leave early I would of liked to get on the dirt road.

Also a pub lunch sounds like a good idea for next run looks like you've called it Mark & Jules

Great photos so far everyone. Did anyone take a count at the begining. M35s to C34s

Not sure about M35 vs C34 but there were exactly 20 stageas at the beginning @ Bunnings (we can do the headcount via the photo's)

...just done a quick pic headcount & I make it 6 M35's...maybe someone else can see more.

OLD Mark

Edited by mark03

sounds like big kev has put his hand up to organise the next one!!!!:nyaanyaa:

but seriously tho, if you wanna get something going olds mark that would be killer, just make sure the pub has plenty of parking, we should be aiming for 30 stageas next time.

there were a few absentees this time

Great cruise, was really good to see a bunch of new faces place some of the regulars :thumbsup:

I need to be less slack, and take more photos, but heres a couple that I managed to get around to taking!

    • 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.
