;) hey!! its not my fault!!! it was either that or make you head back to hornsby to take galston to wisemans.. that'd take forever.. nooone would have waiting :D plus i knew the ferry would get you to the right side of the woods! ;)

i say stick with the candy red idea thomas.

too many people want purple! i'd prefer bayside than it.

i agreee!!!!! that purple is going on myyy car!!! don't copy me thomas!!!!! :P

hahaha dean thats cause he has "minties mods"......done on his battery and fuel pump... ;)

hehhe hey i just got my car back ok.!! have to test it out!!!at one stage i freak out..shit man i stuck in the mid of the bush for de nite...i was last in the pack so everyone were nowhere to be seen, lucky some of my mate drove back to check up on me...

and i'm soo jealous of liz's green bum!!!! i've been trying to get my 'skyline' to do that for awhile!! i've got the back panel and everything!!! i'll get it soon :P

Hey Mintie it was good to see you again I heard your car had a identity change ;)

Need to put the finishing touches on mine, waiting on cooler piping from japan, and then a bit more bits and pieces wire up AFMs, put back radiator, fluids etc and it'll be back!! Can't wait

LOL woot Phantom colour skylines, nah nah, dont do it, its gonna look crap.....besides, like who would drive a purple car *checks in the garage then hides LOL*.

Oh yeah, lol i did offer to scout........meh, its a ford, nobody looks twice at it, i had less change of getting pulled over then you guys did........after all, its stock ;)

Mintie, too bad you didnt cruise back with me and Damo ..... hahaha, you would have loved it :D

Hey Mona, next time you go to the creek, let me know, if ive changed my clutch by then, (and hopefully my gear box) ill be down.

good cruise guys, pitty the cops ***ed it up for us. and next time ill draw a map for everyone to follow. I kinda forget that most of u ppl dont know the area. Has anyone talked to the guy in the s15? i wanna know what happened to him.

good to go down to wisemans ferry, ive wanted to cheack that and the gorge out, not bad except nearly getting smashed in the rear going round one of the hairpins, but that guy is good at breaking, ill give im that much :-P

had anyone get any more photos? my car wasnt in them once *cry

hope everyone had a good time, just need to find away to make sure the cops dont stop up next time....

    • 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.
