Gear box problems......nope had a slight leak in the gearbox from a leaky seal. and the car has been on jack stands for ages cause he is doing some work to the body work to the front spoiler was too low..... and just got the spoiler resprayed, and the wheels will go into the body shop for a coat of pearl bluey purple paint. (the one that changes all different colours!

anyway that is wat has been happening to the Supra look very sad with no wheels on it no front noise and on jack stands........a classic Toyota! will look sweet when back on the road!

yeh they guy i bought it off said he would do it cheap, cos the colour can't be matched up and it would look dog ugly cos the pearl will not be the same.. so he has offered to completely repair and respray the whole car... AGAIN

look for a guy called shane stones. he bought a Black R33 off us and has some crazy mods on it from Japan. Top Secreat computer, ARC FMIC, Veilside Body kit. Fast car i must say.

I know Shane, worked with him down the West Coast for a while. Caught up with him on April 4th car show'n shine here in Burnie, looked over the the new R33, yeah, what a beast!

Latest things I've seen here (which may or may not have been here for yonks) were:

-JZA80 supra with crazy heavy metalflake flip paint,

-a nice silver JZA80 with some veilside style stuff and white rims (and no F&F rice like some other Hobart cars...)

-white S13 silvia with black/polish mesh SSR or volk style rims, very drifty looking, maybe a trust style front bar (currently seems to have none)

- and the best the one that makes me drool every time I see it, Passage GTS (4dr pillarless R31)down here, black/charcoal, late R32 ECCS motor and box, twin plate clutch, greddy FMIC, HKS oil cooler, 'mechanical' LSD, JIC damper adjustable coilovers, cusco castor/camber kit, massive exhaust, Bride black/grey drivers seat, sabelt (IIRC) harness.... It came from JMS.

The Black 33 isnt bad looks the goods, except the wing, looked out of place, but very nice all the same.

Steve's supra is gonna look mad when its back on the road, not that it didnt before. Hmm, I heard it was having gearbox problems aswell, cant remember who told me

hehe, ive been offered one 4 free, but i really don't have the time to frig around with all the custom oil feeds to the head, and i am not too confident in many ppl down here working on my cars, tend to do everything myself, but there is only so much u can do.

who does the work to your car?

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • 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
