What else do we ned to bring other than petrol and car??

Will we need spare tyres? A Jack etc?

I dont wanna load up sh1t I dont need to bring...

I read on NS that tyre fitting will be avaiable...so I'm guessing we need tyres... ?

If you think you're going to get thru a set of tyres, by all means bring spares, and the tools needed to change them, jack etc.

You will also need to wear long pants and long sleeve top.

See you there!

Cheers - Chance :rolleyes:

Got an E-mail from calder today...

Said to bring some tyres so all good, free tyre changing on the day...

THere'll be 2nd hand tyres for sale too

Can' wait should be fun... :3some:

What did you think of the day? you certainly had no dramas in our section.

I had an absolutely awesome time!! Would definately recommend anyone to go the the next one. I learnt heaps and you could notice the improvements in everyone as the day progressed.

And the instructors and DA drivers were all super nice!

p.s.

Anyone come accross a small gray cardbored box with "WORK" written on it??

It contains some locks nuts, some normal nuts and most importantly my lock-nut KEY! I cant get my wheels off without it and all 5 studs per wheel are lok nuts so will cost me a bomb to get them bashed out :(

I rang calder but they didnt pick it up, hopefully someone here picked it up :)

Thanks!

I'll offer a $50 rewards if it helps. :)

    • 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...
