tom_g how much do you want for them :)

They aren't for sale. I will be putting them on my car i'm just waiting until i do the rest of the suspension, which could take a month or 2, so if Roy wants to borrow them for Calder i don't mind. :(

They're for R32 as well so probably no good for you.

You can have mine if you want. I just picked up some new whiteline swaybars today but  i probably won't put them on for a while, so they'll just be sitting here in the boxes.

I won't be driving at Calder, but i'll come and watch.

Thanks for the offer, but i get back on Saturday morning at about 7am. So it would be a busy day to change the fluids, slave cylinder, put seat in the car and make it to Calder by 4pm. Having to put swaybars on would only make life that more difficult....so bugger i am goign to have ot miss another day.... :P

I spoke to Tony this afternoon. He said entry lists up shortly. There are less than 30 entries at the moment which is why none have been posted up.

Sup req's should finally be up tonight so the entries should start to come in now.

I will be using semi’s but this will probably be the only time this year, the rears have about 1mm of tread left on the rears :) But it doesn’t matter I am slower than the guys with street rubber anyway :)

Hey - anyone who hasnt been to Calder before and wants to see some in-car footage here's a good one of a 911 Carrera Sport 3.2

Lap of Calder - Its pretty big at 7.3MB as a warning.

But it gives you a good feel for the bumps at the end of the straight, the hill and the flip flop.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
