For anyone interested.

Apollo Bay - 23rd March

Location/Time: **will put this in depending on if/who is coming**

I'll be getting my car back hopefully friday and the following weekend i'm going down to Apollo Bay for a quick look/scout at some more good spots for Photo's.

As most Vic would have seen... the Harbour area was great but there are about 3-4 other places at least in Apollo Bay i know of.

And i wanna check 'em out as i think there are some maybe even better spots.

That way we can make a HUGE cruise/photo meet on weekend, but the homework has to be done first.

Anyone who want's to come for a trip down again, it won't be a whole day thing as the 10th was... prob round trip of 7 hours as opposed to 10-11. And i'm trying to time it so there will be less traffic/more harder driving (such is what i go donw there for)

I have a house at Skenes Creek (10 mins before apollo bay) and we'll prob stop there for a BBQ/refresments before going home via otways/more photo locations.

Sounds good, i will be in for that. If it is only a scouting trip why doen't we car pool, we could take my car or if you prefer i could come with you.

Oops re-read your message, i guess you want to open her up. If there isn't too many people i would be glad to cruise in your car. If a few people come i will also take my car.

Keep in touch

Yeah... i'm going either way...

So i'm just seeing if people wouldn't mind coming if they aren't busy n stuff.

I loved the looks all the sky's got when we got to Apollo Bay last time

AL.... i've got a mate coming with me and i only want the one passenger... as i'll be... ummm, moving at a fair pace you could say, no offence or nothing :D

For those that know my car, she'll get a fair beating that day as i LOVE to push it.

Just post it up if ya can make it... but this will be a weather permitting event.

If it's raining i wont be going, not going to risk it with this car

NO OFFENCE TAKEN (i clearly understand :P)

So it looks like my car is going for another run. I see if my mate Mal wants to come again or maybe another mate, as it may be a bit boring by myself.

So far the date looks good. We keep in touch.

Hay just a thought, Mal may want to through around his Cappa, since this is not an offical Sky cruize.  Nothing like doin 90-100 clicks around bends, with the roof off in a car smaller than a mini.:(

yeh! get him to come. I was telling him on the day that he should bring it down one day. Cappa's are way cool :)

If he comes i'll have one more reason to come down on the day.

I wanna sit in it while he hammers it around the place ;)

Sorry bud, no room. It's only a 2 seater and i have called shot gun. :uh-huh: :D

Phoned him today, he said that he would be very iterested in coming.

Other than that i don't care what cars come along....

But will they keep up :) LOL

You may be supprised (sp?) it has a bit of go, and alot of handling.

But against a car with the heart of a R33 (that's what it takes to get some real go! :P j/k) he will be pushin it, AND trust me he WILL be pushin it (not in the litual (sp?) sense :)).

.... and a car the weighs in about 300 kg's lighter..... :D

heheeh !

i can't wait to see this little thing tear round the corners :D

Unfortunately something has come up on the 23rd, something that Mal and i have been looking forward to and may be helping out with.

On Sunday the 23rd, Calder Park management are running a "SOOPA CRUIZE". Basically a rip off of the summer nats. See attachment below:

Sorry about the late notice, but i only got this the day i posted my last message. If you want/can prospone the scouting cruise for another day (as i would still like to go on the GOR again) and come to Calder Park. The day should be MAD! (weather permitting).

    • 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.
