HAHAHA.... you guys crack me up :)

Now c'mon Steve everyone knows it's MUCH more efficent having cams that only rotate 280 out of a possible 360 degrees! The 80 degrees that's saved can be put into heating the rear tyres :D

Matt I've been holding out on you, I had a small amount of my "special fuel" left, I've been using it to get a quick buzz now and again... I've only got 1 sleep till Christmas :D

Dean, how well do you know the owner?

People that stretch the truth to that extent baffle me!? Why say/print things that are obviously false? The car looks and sounds (I've seen and heard it go past my house) to be a bloody weapon, why tarnish it with B/S?

Oh yeah... one last thing, where can I get a Tomei pushrod cam? I don't want the "Tomei overhead" RB cam's I want the pushrod ones :)

dammit wish i was there....

Dude i dont know you and i can guarantee you dont know me! Have not crashed my car! I had a guy clip my front bumper on the passenger side at North East Rd/Sudoltz Rd intersection as he turned Left. A white R33 GTR on trader plates when i chased the little shit he went up between the two lanes of traffic.

But got his Trader Plate written down and will track the guy down. The car only needed a plastic weld on the front bumper & ive done that so it hasn't really been damaged.

As for a 9-second time. I was trying to get attention for my add. Well it worked.

I will run it in the next couple or weeks and we'll c what it can do! then i'll put the time sheet up for you all to see.

I think what cheeky means is that when john talked to him, johns opinion was that the guy would crash the car.

If this is the case, i know the car and driver... and i agree with johns comments.

1).- Dean you hav'nt even seen my car yet! Or under the bonnet! Maybe you have seen me on the road but thats all. I hav'nt seen you in at the least 3 years. In the nicest possible way you don'nt know me mate.

2).- I Really don't think you are in any position to make a comment about my driving ability.

Ciao for now

ross, we both know ur car is crazy, just not a 9 sec car. anyway its fine to advertise whatever, as u r rite, it does get peoples attention.

also in regards to the crash thingy, i asked if it was u, cos u r the only person that i know of who has a r34 gtr in silver.

thirdly u r rite, i really shouldnt say anythin about ur driving ability, so sorry about that. But why would u say u think u will crash it? Cos its so powerful?? I just remember the good ol days, u used to cain the shit out of that nimbus or whatever it was.... Anyway hope that cleared things up. Ill see u around, prolly on cruises or something.

Cya mate

Hmmm... I don't know Ross (COPY ME) I can certainly see your point of getting exposure from catchy advertising, kind of like putting - "SEX!!! - now that I've got your attention" and your dead right, it did indeed work, BUT......

IMHO putting " this car has run 9.89sec at AIR" etc... could easily backfire, as potential buyers may be a little suspect of the rest of the cars info... i.e engine internals, type of cams, turbos and so on... I'd say it's probably best to let the car sell based on factual information. Either way mate, it certainly is a damn fine looking R34 GT-R! If I was you I wouldn't even sell it! Let us know how you go at AIR? The next meet is on the 2nd of May.

Dude, if you blatantly lie about something, what makes you think people are going to believe anything else that you have to say? I agree with whatsisname, it could be a Datsun 1600 with a flare kit that you are trying to sell...

If someone is going to spend over 130k on a car, that is advertised as having run 9 seconds - well, I would run a mile in the other direction if I found out the seller was pulling my chain. Credibility, in a world full of bullsh1t, is very important - and used car sales, be it private or business isnt exactly renouned for being 100% above board.

False advertising is illegal in the retail sector for a reason. I wonder if someone did buy it, then found out it wasnt a 9 second car, would they have legal recourse? After all, you did put it in writing.

From the looks, the car is nice enough to sell itself without any unfactual embelishment.

Going overseas for atleast 3-months thats why its up for sale, going to take a huge loss on it. Which sucks but i couldn't get insurance on it in storage and there is no one that you can trust a car that is doing 400++ at the wheels. But i want a R34 GTR V-SPEC II Nur when i get back to nut out again. Half the fun is building the car up. Your point is true though man. but we'll see what it can do soon enough @ 1.5bar, Just praying something doen't smash or sheer in the drive train.

Ciao for now.....

    • 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.
