Hi Nathan, I'm going to wildly guess that your last name is Wong, funny because I have a friend named Nathan Wong...who has a S15 but no GTR ahha.

Great looking car, what mods are on it? Which part of Sydney are you in? members will definitely say hi with a wave, or a flash!

yeah looks like your headlights got nice and chopped up during compliance. random stab in the dark but if you can afford a GTR i think you might be able to afford this: go and get custom projector headlights off EVOXENON (just google him, or look on facebook) - he does these very VERY nice custom headlights. or you could have a go at doing them yourself - buy the morimoto projector headlight kits!

At work atm but will defs check it out, so these are the whole headlight arnt they, not just ballast and globe? Might not go to that much of a hassle =/ might just get a hid kit xD if I get the custom headlight the adjustor will still work?

yes they are the whole headlight BUT as i said you can just buy the ballast and globe and put it in yourself (with a bit of modification if you're comfortable with). Not too sure on the headlight adjustor part..does it work now? if so i can't see too much of a problem with why it wouldn't after some customs!

Quick update: Havent dont much with car, just usual wash, but there has been a problem that the previous owner said it would randomly stall, that being said it happened, but whilst I was driving sometimes it didnt want to go no matter how hard I stepped on the accelerator, and when it did stall at the lights, i tried cranking it over and it wouldnt start until i pressed the lock and unlock button on the car remote, we first thought it was the immobiliser, turns out it wasnt, then we thought it was the key barrel cuz the key could be pulled out it was so smooth, so we used the spare keys, problem still persisted, then made me thought, could be this control unit thing that came with the car, so took it down to IS motorsport for indy to look at and he pulled it out and car hasnt done this random stalling and losing power issue again :)

The culprit :)

indy said that the guy who installed it had wrong settings so that would have affected it, so happy car runs normal :) next up is replacing clutch :) asked for a quote on a HD clutch kit with flywheel too, or might stick with OEM, will have to see :)

Until next time

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By Kapr · Posted

      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.
