Ok lads, we've been pretty slack with the whole SAU Qld part of things, so I need to know how many people are willing to help out with starting the QLD arm and who is willing to join the club.

I probably should have started a little earlier but being so far away from you all makes things a tad difficult.

So who's in...

Well I was hopeing to have a chat with you and cam at the skidpan, i am really keen in getting this official, you're right we have been slack, and now with the NSW guys having already done it, we have no excuses about where to start.

I think we really do need to get everyone together in person to discuss it though, as online is a bit harder, although in your case squizz it is more then understandable.

Hopefully if we can at least get two or three of us behind it, we will get it going soon enough.

well der im in. we've still got the SDU QLD Member Register as well remember.

i'd like to continue my involvement at an official level if its suitable/required, but we can discuss this at the skidpan somewhat. we need to sort out what positions will actually be needed, and what their respective commitments will be.

an organised irc chat will be good for this.

remember - what we have is a GOOD THING. we dont want to over-officialise or structure this great relaxed social thing we have. SVD (in qld anyway) suffered its fate because of this and lack of members.

    • 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.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
