Good to see red bus and the canadians on board. I hear the winfield GTR will be entering too :O

So the mini wang is not the mega for this round but will start slightly differently to the usual, the long wang has new chicanes and is a tad longer. The idea is to have more time for battles with a proper knockout at the end of the day.

Looks a bit light on so far with the numbers. I think its time we all did a recruiting drive and get some new entrants along. If you have mates with a car sign them up. Like everyone says, it doesnt have to be anything special.

That and cars dont get impounded ;)

And evos suck

nar the winfield will not be there its getting work done!!!!! ready for track days just the GTS-T will be there at this stage LOL!!! never no dad might get a itch and we will bring her out lol!!!!

looking through the supp regs it doesnt appear to mention anything about ext gates venting to atmo.. yay or nay?

Only reason I ask is that I have a friend in his 34 GTR that would more than likely come if its allowed..

Been trying to recruit outside of SAU already. So far I've had a tiny bit of success.

Seeing as Automatic Evo's were never sold in Australia and you can't import them - I'm curious how you are going to supply me with one to drive :P

Unless you're just pointing out the fact they drive themselves?

we have a number of cars running large high mount turbo setups with straight pipes and screamers ;)

the louder the better i say :laugh:

also ive been askin mates and some are interested but most are going to winton cause they have a prac day same day as deca :unsure:

bloody mexicans and their lack of rules! Wish us silly NSW people were allowed to do this at our events :(

Bingo.... Just enter the cube. Should end up with some "well rounded" results.

ive tried getting her to enter the cube a couple times, she just laughs at me :whistling:

    • 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.
