I like everything but the wheels.

And the lack of engine mods.

And maybe the colour.

... But aside from that, it's pretty cool.

is that about the time you were giggling like a girl? :nyaanyaa:

I thought he was always going that..?

I love going for hills run during work hours on a day off. there is nobody around.

but i wouldnt be too keen to go today with this wet weather.

starting to miss driving the GTR, havent driven it in 3 weeks. its getting the engine mounts changed and the fusable link replaced.

the fusable link is really starting to annoy me, it keeps slowly burning out. when i last drive it, the wire was hot to touch.

i think its because the link is pretty old and stuffed, hopefully it'll be able to put some charge into the battery soon!

yeah I used to hit up the hills in the rain on my bikes all the time, love it; sharpens your skills IMO.

hadnt driven the r32 rb26 since I picked it up after the rebuild a cple months ago - been fiddling with bonnet mounts etc for the blitz fpr bonnet (still not happy with fitment, but its nice & secure and wont be smashing over the roof, not like the original bonnet did Lol). damned sore knee (left) now though from the gears, got to say the Bride brix chair is pretty uncomfy.

Should be pretty impressive once tuned correctly, power comes on strong, handling is precise, and the brakes work a treat. Going to get a few hundred kms onto the engine then have the tune finished off, ready for mallala track days.

Can't wait to join you out there repping the 4 door 32's Tangles. My new track whore doesnt have a 26 in it, but a 20 with a bigger turbo - has alot more top-end power than the 25 in my other 32, so it should be fun.

top end power is shit.

i would kill to have a reponsive tourqy thing :(

I wish my 25 R32 had more topend, it all happens before 5.5k, hitting full boost at 2300rpm is all well and good, but when youve got an engine that wants to keep revving but is only doing a lot of huffing and puffing, well quite frankly it sucks lol.

The black R32 is so much faster in the twisties than when it had the RB20 it isnt even funny, but I could imagine on the track the 20 in the silver R32 would reel it in. Keep in mind Im comparing a stock 25 with 12 psi to a RB20 with a bigger turbo - unsure of specs just yet.

Then you need my highflow turbo Dion. Response is similar to stock but it keeps going up top unlike the stock ones. :D

Twin charge... Crank and exhaust driven boost... Something I would love to do but at the same time I'm glad my car is the way it is (max psi around 3600 also), I can comfortably drive it off boost and save fuel/ wear and tear. Besides, if I'm on boost in 2nd gear or above my license is also at risk :)

Bit of an EOI here for a good friend who wants to get rid of an r31.

It's an 88 gxe auto, running but no rego, just had service blah blah blah, would suit track build. White on black, if anyone is interested he said he wants 1350.

This guy spent 15k on another one and it is a gorgeous car (he loves 31's) so if anyone is interested pm me and I'll give you his number :) I'm considering it myself but I already spend enough on my 32 haha

    • 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.
