You will love it, Docc. I've got Martin's Cobb tune as well. It changes the car totally.

I've only got a HKS midpipe, K&N filters & Willall Tranny fluid.

Yeah, I'm thinking of E85 too, Domino!

But I haven't got injectors and pump yet.

We should meet up for a cruise, if you like. I'm in Melbourne too.

yep we should catch up oneday...

Back from Willall, big thanks to Martin and crew for everything. Renew package and mid pipe picked up just over 50awkw from stock taking it to 340awkw (30 over a stock MY12).

Sounds much better, beds down hard and drives smoother too. Yet to put it through it's paces as mainly highway driving back from SA but very noticeable difference nonetheless.

LC5 has apparently been tweaked recently- that's been installed and ready to go!

aggressive'ness of clutch release/slip goes up from LC2 onwards. also improves regular shifts - LC4 is the sweet spot

the change in launch rpm is in your tune and can't be adjusted yourself with the cobb

those with 09 model cars can choose to upload the program to launch in R traction mode like the 2010 onwards

Changes to LC5 settings are those that we can do via the ProTuner software such as RPM Launch limit etc.

With the Launch counter raised to 12 its now a no-brainer to upgrade to LC5 in these cars as the clutch engagement is even more refined :)

Ahhh...I see. Thanks for the update. I've had the LC5 for a while but never found the difference apart from the R mode stays on when flicking between auto and manual - which is a good feature.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
