Woohoo! And another 260RS comes to Australia!! Congrats on your beast! 66,000 K's and 4B should = a damn nice example.

You have improved the imports:Australian cars ratio by... (something tiny) but every one helps!

Big congrats on the auction win!! I cant imagine the wait you have ahead of you, because I've been waiting nearly 3 weeks, and I'm about to start a candle light vigil outside the dealers when it finally gets complienced. The wait is the killer, screw the $$$$$'s pop those pics up ASAP

Cheers,

Jeff

Excellent! Another '26 powered Stagea in the neighbourhood! SEQLD FTW! We'll have to organise another meet once your car is here...

Like the rest of the said: congratulations!

What company is Hocking working for?

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys!

Im hoping for a fairly smooth process as far as compliancing goes, the car is dead stock except for the aftermarket coilovers. Might need to borrow some aussie DOT approved tyres for compliancing - the tyres on the car ae new so i really dont want to fork out for tyres when i dont really need them.

Im bouncing off the walls hey, you shouldve seen me after the 5 or 6 phone calls from Japan throughout the process - was crazy.

So yes... now the wait...

AFAIK you will have to buy some new tyres for compliance. I just flogged my ones off to a local tyre yard and got em to swap my other rubber back on the rims. Suspension should't really be a problem...as long as it aint too low.

Where u going for compliance? PM me if u don't wanna broadcast it!!

Good luck :)

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      I'd need to check my notes at work Duncan, but I'm pretty sure most of that is purely OBD2 on the display. How quickly is it all able to update? Do you have any internet capability in your workshop with a laptop?

      From there it is trickier. Ecutek seems to be one of those closed ecosystems where everyone password protects their tunes which means I either choose a tuner and can't change from them and can't make any changes myself for any reason, or I have to buy the tuning software (about $4k) and then get someone to tune from scratch (which is not simple with all the multi dimensional tables these days). Once you buy about 300 "flash points" per ECU you can get it tuned and add their "RaceROM" function which hacks extra functionality like launch control onto the ECU, and also makes extra data available for logging over CAN Not sure what I'll do there yet; I'm tempted to use one of the overseas shops that does billions of remote tunes of the platform instead of starting from scratch locally, a lot can be done online these days.

      Can I log IAT eh? Well, can now So next thing was looking at data logging. Not straight forward because none of the motorsport displays have cracked the nissan/inifinti CAN and ECU based displays don't do g logging, lap timing, predictive laps etc.  So, I bought an Ecutek dongle from Tunehouse (Oz distributor). Even without a tune onboard that allows display and logging of about 50 parameters via Android (and presumably iOS) app. Approx 600 for the bluetooth + Usb version That gives me (pretty ugly but) functional dash display on Android And logging of these parameters I'll play around a bit over the break, but at least now I can make sure I have oil pressure when I get to some track testing.
