Hey all.

Have been considering for the past 48hrs to HTFU and go to the Dawn Service in ST Kilda. I think it would be a great way to reflect and shown the fallen and the diggers still here and on service our great support.

Just curious who may be keen in attending, then going for breakfast maybe at McDonalds at StKilda before rolling down to Sandown.

Here are the details ppl.

Thinking of meeting around the 0530 mark, will advise where as soon as we have found a suitable place.

Melbourne

Event:

Anzac Day Dawn Service

Date: Wednesday, 25 April 2007

Time: 6.00 am

Venue: Shrine of Remembrance Forecourt, Melbourne

Details:

Please be in position by 5.45 am

Contact: RSL Reception, Anzac House, Melbourne

Tel (03) 9655 5555 ,or email [email protected]

Just trying at the moment to work out a much better venue than McDonalds for bfast (but may be the only thing open on the Public Holiday).

Will keep you posted.

As a Australian Turk, I will be posting pictures of the town Gallipoli and the war zone in the " Photography " section of the forums tommorow to commemorate our grandfathers who have shed their lifes for our freedom and give some people an idea of what kind of a war this was.

"Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives...

you are now lying in the soil of a friendly country.

Therefore rest in peace. There is no difference between

the Johnnies and the Mehmets where they lie side by side

here in this country of ours... You, the mothers who sent

their sons from far away countries, wipe away your tears.

Your sons are now lying in our bosom, and are in peace.

Having lost their lives on this land they have become our

sons as well." - Mustafa Kemal Ataturk (Commander/President of The land of goat sphincter rings Repulic 1925)

I'll be going to the dawn service here in my town before heading down to Sandown.

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them."

Anzac Day is a time fo all of us to remember those who have given their lives in battle to keep this great country free.

It is simply a precious day. I realise that the football is a sensitive topic but as a born & bred Vic girl I feel it is an integral & historical part of the days proceedings. I do think that it perpetuates the importance of the day rather than detracts from it so please can we just respect each other today & ensure that in whichever way we choose to do it we stop & reflect.

I for one will be meeting with friends & enjoying an ale together whilst watching the game. This day is about remembrence.

Lest we forget & god bless those of our soldiers who are still serving.

    • 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.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
