Hi guys... its almost 2005, and a few of you guys have asked for calendars, so we're organising a photoshoot and then printing of calendars.

The catch is it probably won't be ready till the end of Jan.

The photographer will be Greg... here's a sample of his work...

So far we have:

Ash - R31 GTS-R + hopefully the purple R31 from autosalon

Jamezilla + Leewah + Friend = 3x Midnight Purple GTRs

Matt (GTTR34) and Adzmax - R34 GTt's hopefully we can get Dale(?) as well

Haven't figured out combinations but these cars are available:

Clarkey - R33 GTR

Jack - R33 GTR + Towtruck (or R33 GTR in wedding car mode)

Al - R33 GTSt (Suspension king)

Troy - Yellow Panda eyes R34 GTR V Spec II

Naveed (Nismo32) - White R32 GTSt

Robin (XXXGTR) - Silver R32 GTR

Troy - Silver R32 GTSt

Danny (Autotrust) - Impul R33R (limited ed R33 4 door GTSt)

Snowman - Team wang trackwhore R34

So far we have showcars, fast cars, family cars, rare cars, track cars and possibly a wedding car. Would love to get a drift car to round it off. Also some classic cars... Hopefully we can get Ron's PGC10 as well. Would love to get a 240K from somewhere that's been 2000GTR-ised and a DR30 too.

Any other nominations are more than welcome...

to be eligible to be in the calendar the following criteria have to be met:

* Car must be skyline or skyline related (ie skyline engine or body)

* Owner must live in VIC

yeah I know his nick, but he seems to have fallen off the face of the earth :rofl: is he still around?

As for being a valid member... I dunno bout that... there's some really nice cars out there that aren't paid members'.

that cuts out Troy and the panda R34, Naveed n the nismo R32 GTSt, and Danny and the Impul R33R... good one... there go some of the more unique cars cruising around VIC. I'm assuming the calendar is available to the general public as well... at the end of the day its just to raise some money for the club and to give the club more exposure to the general public.

i did sign forms last night....however i WAS approached and asked BEFORE i signed the forms.....i think membership status shouldnt play a part in it as to my understanding isnt the idea to produce a nice product?I am prepared to give my place up for someone else if they want it or theres not enough room

When is the photo shoot? I think I overheard you say last night that it would be in a couple of weeks?

Where will it be... location, location, location...

Who owned the calsonic/bayside blue R32 GTR in the sandown clip played @ last nights meeting... nice ride - would look good in calendar.

hahaha nice pic there troy maybe we could have it as a lil sub pic under the finished product.... who cares if they are a member or not just make them join lol only 50 bucks wont kill them to show off their ride if they have enough pride in it...

I too beleive that non-member cars should be included in the calender. As Shan has stated, we are trying to raise funds for our club so all the best cars should be included. If my car is not good enough then i'm cool as i know a better car would have taken it's place.

The calender should consist of the whole variety of SKYLINES (sorry Sam, just my opinion), not just GTR's or late model. Maybe have a page for each class.

    • 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.
