hey,

soz hotsky for not callin , got pissed off cause i could not get a frigin car park in all bloody city, so i just went home, yeah i think next time we need to organize a better place than station pier, it should be sumwhere closer to calder so there is no excuses as to where to meet ands u have to go there anyway, so u cant say it is to far for me to go there, ramble, ramble, ramble............

u know what i mean...............

i will be in the next round of drags as i will be there around 5-6pm so u will have to meet me there...................hehe

**** australian cars, go jap go!!!

yup! There were a few (rx7, 180's) but not as few as I might have expected. I reckon we get a few of our cars on there and at least have something interesting to see and talk about!

Next weekend I should have my nice chromies on, but unforunately its not looking too photoworthy at the mo' due to big crack in front bar...washed it before and its still there :):D sniff..

I bought a fibreglass kit yesterday so its time i learned how to fibreglass. Should be able to fix it as good as new, but its going to take some time.

none of the SAU guys ran their cars..jet 33 watched and videoed   there were 2 lines that i remember, a white 33gtr ran 12's i think  and black 33 plates'ohbehave'(a 10 sec car apparently!) but driver was running 12.70's

that OBHAVE or whatever it is car was in an issue of speed maagzine as some sort of crazy skyline that is well known all around australia as one of the fastets road cars, it was in the issue with the blue WRX and 180 on the front, i think it was issue #3, i left mine on the plane on the way home from my holiday (wanted to keep the da,nm photos of the gold GTR in there they had a huge review on) but oh well shit happens

If its one of Australia's fastest, he sure wasn't Australia's best driver! ;) A few GTS-T's should be able to hit the 12's that are on SAU (spread out all over Australia though).

He seemed pretty young though - did he build up the car himself or did he buy it from somebody like that already??

    • 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...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
