Workin' it, Jerkin' it, putting the smoke back inside big machines and stuff.

Life is like a box of chocolates, out in the sun on a hot day...... melted into an unrecognizable mass of sh1t!

Working till lunchtime and driving back home to melb. Then I've got a 3 day weekend. It will be nice as I've worked the last 10 days straight here in hot Horsham. 39.4 degrees today!

Nothing inspiring people. Im on a plane early to fly to the other side of the country so i can walk up stairs to the top of 20mtr high, 190deg C tanks all day...lots of fun :)

So many interesting things to be doing and we are all basically beign army ants and going to work :(

sound interesting to me. what's in the tanks?

i'll be right here on my couch spamming on sau. Why? cos i am home from work sick with nothing better to do just like today :) . If i can be bothered i might track down a filter and do a service on chloe and put my lockbar in too.

Bitumen...not interesting at all...its hot, smelly and id rather be poolside with the looks of whoever is hot in hollywood this month pulling big bank and the women...but oh well. Sweat, body odour and climbing up on hot tanks is it for me :)

My Thursday is more exciting than normal.

I resigned from my job on Monday...and they made me leave Tuesday on full pay for the next few weeks...

So Thursday for me consists of...

Checking the oil in my R33..cos I topped it up today

Going down and getting breakfest from my fav. cafe and have a few coffees and read the latest Fast 4s some1 gave me today.

Head into the city for a going awaya party for another person who left recenelty..

Free lunch from a vendor looking to butter me up before I start my new job.

Meeting with my mate form Uni who has started his own business. I think he is looking for projects also...

Then hooking up with Alan (saff_cossie), for another coffee.

Then heading down to Port Melb to pick up some 2nd hand FTO bits from an ex-club memeber so I can ake a fully sick Ipod setup in my FTO...

Then try and make it to the mini meet to see whats going on...lets hope I can make it. But if all goes to PLan, Alan and I will be drinking cos it will be hot as.

Sums up my thursday.

haha, I'm bored already.

After a big day SCUBA diving today, I might start the hunt for a 3.0l block and get stuck into building an engine for Red.

The day is going to be too windy to spend in the garage fitting the thermofan setup to Purple.

Chris, man of leisure, how about hook me up with some FTO seats for my Lynx. Better yet let's catch up somewhere so I can try then on again just to make sure first.

    • 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...
