It's all good, someone's turbo will blow up and then you'll all be too busy discussing the idea of getting some random jap dude to tune your car for you in some faraway land.

Our turbos are 10 years younger than your toyotas, remember?

We might be discussing how to properly tune our cars, unless OG want to become Greddy or HKS tuners...

So because your Volvo is newer the turbos blow earlier????

Not sure about 10 years either, my car is s June 2000 build. Was your car built last year??

And no OG performance will not be doing tuning, I am too much of a Neanderthal to understand all them fangdangled electronic trickery devices.

Hi guys first post, im in for a cruise any sunday should be ok i work sundays so will need some notice to cover my shift at work +1 x M35 to the list, gimme an email so i can organise will check out the forum again soon.

Awesome. Be good to outnumber the C34s for a change!

BTW you can subscribe to the forum so you get email alerts, handy feature if you don't check them that often.

Dont care about the date, all are good & clear of the Royal Adelaide Show (2nd - 10th Sept)

We are very much looking forward to the drive...lets hope the weather is kind to us (this time)

ALSO we have a link with the Legnums forum now...if you want to invite them to join us ???

What are your thoughts ?

"the OLD peeps"

I'm not fussed, what do the other wagon lovers think??

Hey guys!

Keen as for this one ! 11th is sweet but others sound work! Sooner the better 

So count another C34 to the list  !

Missed all the others and dying 2c some of there stags in action!

Trying to decide in turbo,injectors etcs 

Any S2 Autos with after market turbos coming ?

Do I dare ask the question ... Who has the quickest stag

Here  just thought I would chuck it out there!

LOL, lets just say the fastest Stag isn't a 35!

I think we should invite the leg's

Says who? :nyaanyaa:

Happy with the Legs to come. Ancient POS can play with the C34s while the M35s run along ahead!

baaa haaaa this thread is gold now, " mine is bigger""but mine is newer so must be quicker"lol im loving it i can see a stag lala track day comming up. i know big fella &dream15 and my self would be keen for a laugh,right guys. should sort the men and women from the keyboard wariors. and hell yeah invite the legnum boys to on the cruise maybe could be the start of an performance import wagon club lol

Can everyone that is keen for the cruise please make sure you vote on the poll, i'd like to get a date locked in ASAP before this thread turns into fisticuffsnyaanyaa.gif

I'll be in contact with Olds mark and the Legnum crew to extend the invtation, at least then the old faithful straight 6 power can show these Bent 6 kids how its done!

    • 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.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
