I was just emailed a bunch of photos from Michael who was the pro photograpther that was there with that massive lense positioned at start of the straight mainly. He has some unreal shots of GTR Jasons angry looking white R32 GTR on fire, in fact two great shots of this. These and many others will be for sale so can't post them here.

Zed even has time for a wave waiting for GTR's to catch up.

Those sample shots aren't too good for a "pro" photographer :Oops:

Oh, and it was like a tropical hurricane at my place, so I didn't brave the elements and head out to Oran on Sunday... Looks like I missed an eventful day!

I took a few photos... however, I had worked all night (7pm to 7am), and then went out to the track day, so I wasn't really in the best condition for taking good photographs, hence why all of them are pretty average.. :P The dark and cloudy weather conditions didn't help me. Oh well, better than nothing I suppose, and more importantly, you guys get them for free!

Email me if you want the full size photos.

My fav photo of the lot is:

Let me know what you think.

Cheers,

Yep lighting was not best especially from where Michael took lots of them sort of into the light from the sun. This one from behind is better light and nice drift Jason coming onto the straight.

Hey B-Man yes added a top one with girnie strip. It definitely helps keep the car stuck on the track over the flip flops where it used to be very light. Also carbon fibre front winglets to keep the front down also.

I am impressed Tomo call me.  I love the high shot looking back down the straight where GTR's part to make way for the Zed.

So what's with that Yellow GTR IN FRONT of you John?

No parting of ways there ;)

Yep nice thought yellow GTR out front it must have being lapped. Must have been very frustraing Duncan just running your motor in and watching and feeling the zed and other GTR's flyiiiiiing by? I know I rounded you up a few times at semed like twice your speed or more and did a big sideways slide just missing the wall coming onto the straight just in fornt of you for one of the flybys. Merli you missed a great day and early in the day as you can see from the pics a big line up of GTR's out on the track with the zed busting through. Also the pics I posted were lower res so easier to download, I received a CD today and some realy clear nice shots.

Sep 25 next one at Oran and there has been heaps on interest so should have a great line up of cars, better weather and Duncan might have his yellow thing run in by then?? GTR V Zed challenge will be on. I will have my new twin brake master cylinders changed to smaller ones so they will work and not run off the end of straight as I did this twice. I also had to brake heaps earlier than normal. I might get a good lap time though with less slow GTR's in the way. Might even get some new slicks instead of the second hand ones I use which are about a second off the pace of new ones according to John Web, Porsche Race Driver, who I get them from. Otherwise some semi slicks to shut everyone up.

GTR Jason get your fire bomb fixed and ready hey? Beer Barron put your beer down and have a go you must be keen after experiencing that lot from the side line on Sunday. Got the gear use it and be part of the feeling. Alright I will give you a head start.

By the way those wondering who was the mad driver in the tan coloured old 323 with carby and drum brakes and auto, it was one of our Mechanics Mat who rides some mean bikes and he tired his best to scrape the door handles.

Ha Ha your a funny bugger John. Kel's car is as stock as it's class of RACING allows.

I think you should be more worried if I let Duncan drive my car,,,We would all start calling your barge the Titanic.

But seriously Have you ever thought of actually converting it to a Sports Sedan,,,,you are already 1/2 of the way there.

Neil.

    • 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.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
