Yeah we visit her family there twice a year... I'll send you a PM next time we head up there...

Cameron is the youngest - he has an older brother and sister... There are a few Ginn's in Childers, but they are all related.

You must be the only Skyline owner in Childers - I mostly see 4WDs and Falcons/Commondores when I'm up there...

hahaha

yeah mate, i was the first to buy a skyline in town - shortly after a mate of mine bought a maroon 33 and now another mate has copied again and bought a yellow 33 - 3 of us now :(

mofo's stealing my thunder...

and yeah i know a few ginns etc - but i'm sure there was 2 families

lost my licence for 6 months last week so dobt you'll see my car around there :)

NOTE: do not drive through a rail crossing until ALL the lights have stopped - the main red lights had stopped but little ones on the boom (that was raised fully) had kept going - **** of a cop fined me 45 bucks and 3 points...... :)

Hrm... there's an idea :(

We have a beach-house on Theodolite Creek (Big creek next to woodgate, for those who know the area). Never taken the skyline up there though, 'coz there's a couple of k's of dirt/sand/4wd track you have to drive over to get into the place.

Last time i was up there, i saw a white R33 GTS-t, up near the macadamia icecream place just ouside of childers, with pink plates [MIS581] (Miss-Bi) or something along those lines, driven by a chick... hrm.. couldn't see if she was hot or not, lol.

I grew up in bundy too, lived out Kepnock way close enough to Chards road to be able to hear the drags lying in bed.

Don't spose any of you boys remember what the main street was like before they put in that stupid mall? Easily the best main drag anywhere in Oz, lucky if you could get a spot in the centre parks on a Friday night, everyone cruising laps after Krystals closed, then out to some dark road in the cane fields for a bit of 1/4 mile action.

Remember being way out on the highway halfway to Childers late one night, must have been 100+ cars parked all round a rest area and white lines spraypainted on the highway for start/finish lines. This family in a campervan pulls into the rest area, look at us as if to say WTF and scarpers.

Go the Bundy hoons..... :headbang:

I lived just a bit further back towards town in Greatheads road, which runs off Elliott Hds road.

The cops got us all on Chards rd one night and took all our car keys and drove right up the far end near Langbeckers rd and threw them out the window, told us we had to all walk up and get them. Pr1cks.

There used to be two coppers called Finlay and Sullivan that everyone hated, they loved writing us tickets....

Don't think I would have set fire to your bin, not in your lifetime anyway.....

    • 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.
