lol Troy, agree with you about doing more laps in my car.. however I have my own theories as to why I was only 1 second slower than u at Sandown... something to do with not driving it on the limit and also a bent lower ball joint :laugh: at PI I had all sorts of issues, and it was my first time there (only did 4 laps). The car is actually quite nice to drive, just need more time behind the wheels to tweak the setup. I may have slightly more power than you (i don't think it's 80kw!), but also more weight.. Hopefully everything with the car is sorted (my ABS is now fixed too! woot) and we can have some more fun :laugh:

Good stuff Matt. I was just guessing that you would be up around the 300rwkws mark. My thing was only running 230rwkws odd at Sandown...though it feels damn strong at that boost. Stronger then it ever has actually...if only my suspension was up to the job of 230rwkws, i have ot drive angry otherwise the car just wont do it :laugh:

And Snowie, we cant beat you guys. But it would be nice to see some lap times beign punched out within cooee of you guys.

But point is...you cant beat going round and round...so will be good to see the EVOs out there mixing it up with Roy

Hehe - I'm only stirring. Mind you last weekend at Sandown there was a 400oddKW Supra on semi's that managed a best time of 1.23.9. It sure was a rocket down the straights. Most laps were in the 24's, 25's. It shows that the time you punched out already is quite impressive.

I was running around 280kw at Sandown.

hahaha *cough* bullshit *cough* :)

Oi Troy you Victorian bitch, you're such a Victorian Victorian that you make Victorian's born in Victorian look less Victorian than you're super Victorian Victorian self. GO VICTORIA! w00t

LOL classic post Adz :fakenopic: Gonna grab the popcorn for this one!

If i was overseas and heard something being described as Victorian, well i think mid 1800s, virginal white dresses and umbrellas and elegant old homes. So im not a very good fit for being Victorian :)

I dunno mate :)

snowbrown, I just injured myself laughing you bastard. I may even need a day off work. I wonder if it counts as a work related injury. I think I somehow broke my colar bone.

gold.

    • 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.
