thought you would col good work

Hey can you delete the thread I made in the QLD section. I put there by mistake

Beat you too it... :)

I cant wait, i was only saying last night to mates at drinks that we need to get out to willowbank asap...

Their responce was well it would have to be a saturday (as they all would have a hard time getting to a wednesday night)...

So i just suggested this date to them like and hour ago and bam here it is...

SAU TNT... Yeah...

if I have my stuff sorted by then im keen

Of course you will Ian...

Even if you dont it would not hurt to get a base line run before you go on the modification trail...

In at this stage!

YEAH... Let Anna have a run too, i let Renee have a run in my car back in July last year... She was a second slower than me, but i smoked the clutch before letting her have a go... >_<

So she did very well to be honest...

she can run the R33 ;)

I will be too busy trying to get running the R32 down to miss out on track time! Once I nail the 12.5 she may be able to have a turn but :laugh:

If I can find some rims and gumballs for the rear by then I will definitely be in. >_<

Dont worry about it... Just run your street rubber...

It then gives you a good base line to run off when your talking about how fast your car is...

Im just gonna run my daily rubber...

Well I aint. the rubber you guys are calling standard and what I am wearing are 2 different things. >_<

What does that mean???

Forgive me, but i dont understand... Are you saying your rear tyres are worn out already...?

What you been up too in the last 48hours hey? ;)

    • 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...
