Hi All

I am in the throws of planning my trip to Japan in August, I am doing an 8 day tour and a heap of other stuff in Tokyo, staying in a some expensive hotels, some cheap ones, a capsule hotel and a heap of other things, but that another topic all together that I will start later.

The question that I have is about D1GP. I am already earmarked to go to Round 5 at Ebisu South in Nihonmatsu, but I am now extending my stay to include Round 6 at Suzuka. Now I got my details of this off of Wikipedia Link for D1GP Schedule 2006 as my Japanese reading is hopeless.. Now I am a bit anal about checking things, so I went to the Suzuka Circuit Website and check teh Calendar of events and the D1GP wasn't on there, also I have seen in other links This One to show one of the links, where it shows the event not being on Sep 9/10.. I am way too confused now, I have seen about the same amount of both (on 9/10 sep and not on those dates) so I am sceptical..

Can someone who can read Japanese, please please tell me what the Round 6 says on This Page It is the September 9/10 event.. This would be greatly appreciated.. I know that I shouldn't be worrying about this so early. But I like to plan in advance a long way..

Also, does anyone know of how I can buy tickets to these events prior to the event. I know that the tickets are only open to presale for a short time, but I would really like to get tickets in advance, so that I guaranteed a ticket. I am prepared to pay anyone that can help with this. I will pay well in advance and only want them sent to my hotel or somewhere that I can get them from..

PS. If anyone is interested in tagging along with me to these events I will be travelling to both from Tokyo on the Sunday for the main event and I am more than happy to go in a group bigger than one... :P

Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • 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...
