At our most recent REACT club meeting our Clerk of Course has said that hooning around will not be discouraged at all.

Tyre smoke will not be frowned upon as long as you are attempting to complete the course. A static burnout will be frowned upon, as will doing donuts and both will earn you a chat from the CoC. That said, there is a lot of latitude in what "attempting to complete the course" means :P :kewl:

I received an entry from "SupaFly Skyline" yesterday - the first skyline to enter :(

Neil - could you send me a competed entry form with your details? There are now 4 places left and I'm sure we'll get people trying to enter on the day. I'd hate for you to drive down from Sydney and then not be able to compete.

You can sign and pay on the day but if I have a form I'll hold a place for you. Send it to [email protected] (I've PM'd you too)

See you Sunday! :burnout:

See you Sunday!

And he's running an R32,,,COOL,,,now all we need is an R34 and thats a full set. Shelly buy one in Yellow tomorrow.

Save me a place Saru,,,I'll be there.

Neeil.

Thanks again for a top day Ben, had a ball!

Neil great to meet you, and i will practise my handbrake timing for next time.

Everyone else, you missed out on a great day, hope to see more of you at the next one

Yep Andrew and I had a ball. I did my usual 2 wd's but I'm used to that. I've finally got the handbrake/powerslide thing down pat. Now just gotta teach Andrew as well.

I'm itchin for the results,,,I might have made the top 10.

Neil.

Yeah, had a pair of WD's, spewing as one of them was on my last run of the day and thought it felt a lot faster than the first run on that test

I think the trick to the handbrake/powerslide thing is the timing, isnt it?

muahahahaha its all about the WDs :(

yeah timing....and remembering to put the bloody clutch in at the same time :D

top fun, I love any sport where they want you to drive sideways all day :D

well done Neil, were there only 10 competitors or are you getting better :D Looks like the pulsary won't be returning, right?

Well seems I came in 12th out of 42 cars,,,.The results show I wded the last course which was the "Oh what a feeling" but thats crap,,,I did a 29.39 and a 29.13 with no penalties. I don't really care cause it was all in good fun and I won my class anyway.

Duncan I have the h-brake/clutch stuff sorted and I started trying different approaches and what seemed to work was when I had enough speed up going to a flag I pushed the clutch in and rolled into the beginning of the apex and then used the combo again. It made the back of the car much more settled.

Yep now that I have the rotor I can't see me stuffing around with the Pulsar,,,Mind you,,, you know you only ever have to ask if you need help with the 810.

Neil.

well done guys, but I am intrigued, what class was there for skyline, "RWD Land Whales"? ;)

BTW datto has new axle thanks to Neil, now just make sure it fits, weld it up nice and tight and I will be out terrorising 'khanas again :)

810 :(

BTW datto has new axle thanks to Neil's Fantastic EB Falcon S/W Tow Car, 810 :(

So would you like me to see if it fits next Saturday?. Here's the plan,,,you work on the GTR and Tosh and I will do the 810 or I'll do the 810 on my own.

Neil.

hey mate...thanks for the offer (and the edit ;)) at this stage its all gtr next weekend in the outlandish hope that it will hit the road one day. I might just try and sling the axle in one night this week, shouldnt be too hard hopefully.

I'd love to know how to get those damn broken axles out though :( maybe i need a bigger hammer and pry bar :confused:

    • 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.
