Ok, hopefully some of the people that couldnt last time can this time,

Well, based on last times events, I would have to say that Jells Park is a good location because there are heaps of BBQ's if its a nice day, heaps of parking, and not TOO far for anyone. (Unlike areas of the dandenongs etc)

So, Melbourne Stagea Meet #2

Location: Jells Park Wheelers Hill Map 71, K7

Date: First weekend in Febuary, Sunday Feb 5th, Midday 12:00 Noon.

Events: BBQ session, BYO food/drinks, chats etc

We will use the same carpark as last time. Enter through the "in" gate, go around the big carpark in a circle, take the south heading left turn at the turning point and then proceed to the third car park on the right with BBQ's next to it. Circled in red. The road is one way, so follow the red arrows.

Make sure you bring seats this time, last time the benches were all wrecked. Bring some food too, drinks are good also.

So lets get a list of who will be (or want to be) coming

1. AlexCim - White S1 RS4

2. [ STAGEN ] - White S1 RS4

3. Burns - Silver S1 RS4

4. bluesky4me - ??? - Import/Compliance dependent attendance

5. ian - Bayside Blue S2 RS4S

6. wagon - Silver S1 RS4

7. humble - blue S1 RS4

(am I getting too hopeful now?) 8. muck - red S1 RS4

9. marcus - white s1 RS4

10.

I left a months notice so that people could get the cars on the road by then or have theirs arrive from being imported.

I MAY have manualized the car by then, less the interior.

Also the suspension should definatly be in there too ;)

I am puting the deposit on my new baby tomorow..

When people mention 'deposit' and 'baby' in the one sentenance, they normally aren't talking about cars - though the stagea does have enough room in the back..

I'll probably be able to make it. Bayside Blue, Series 2, Four S :-)

Ian

I have sent out PM's to

- stagi-r

- michaeljquinn

- muck

With a link to this post, hopefully we will make this meet HUGE (in stagea standards) hehe

I work shift work (12hr) and have to work that day,but i keep an eye on everything and sooner or later i'll make it. I have missed all the GTI-R owners ones for the last 3 years!!

I AM a member of SAU VIC, but noones bloody given me that blue thing yet!

I went to the Xmas BBQ too!!

Ive got all my cards, lanyards etc, but no membership yet :D

Anyone that isnt a Stagea owner, but wants to find out more is more then welcome to come. Hopefully this can convince some people to actually buy stageas :P

Ian came to the show and shine we held from memory.

Yep, dropped in with a very dirty bayside blue S2, and was surprised people were interested in it :-) - though I did not enter the competition (and next time I'll give it a wash, and I still haven't fixed the broken mirror). Would have taken the R34 around except the wife was in it... :-) (plug, the R34 is for sale, http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=98570, as we really don't need two cars! :-)

But no, I haven't joined the vic SAU, every time I go to do it I get too confused by the forms....

Ian

    • 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.
