f**k this thing is loud on the inside.

don't know how happy stu was with it....but I was lucky enough to do some laps in the passenger seat and:

a. it goes like stink

b. handles pretty good and

c. stu seems to handle a steering wheel pretty good.

the dino-line is a unusual setup but its working damn well.

thanks mate, made a small error with uncle Duncan in the car like missing turn 1 but other than that the car was much better behaved. was much more confident under braking.

have some light throttle tuning to sort out and a gearbox selector issue but other than that very happy.

car held its own in a staight line against a few cars boasting 70kwatw more, but the weight factor would have a lot to do with it. wet weather sessions were interesting.....but car was solid once it dried out.

Some good Superlap type cars in the new issue of Zoom Magazine, boys and girls. Tilton Interiors Evo, a psycho red Supra (SUPRAT) and some great photography from the event.

There's also a full feature on the Roger Clark Motorsport (RCM) Gobstopper WRX and Stu's awesome LS1 R32.

Enjoy :-)

I knew there was a build thread around here somewhere and i've only just found it now.

Seeing this animal in the metal idling at a standing still and running on the track is a sight to behold. It's something that you just can't visualise mentally because it has to be seen in person.

Some shots I snapped of it running at Oran Park at the SAUNSW track day. :)

cant run any forced induction over 3000cc engine capacity in sports sedan and maximum of 6000cc aspirated.

ill stroke this engine when i freshen it up which hopefully wont be in the near future. car is a handful now with 300kw, cant imagine another 100kw.

currently in the process of getting car log-booked, just finishing off a few little odds and ends like remote battery isolator cable and sealing rear parcel tray. Getting inspected this week-end.

Thanks for the great words and pictures Xmetal. love the shot at the back of the track....

ls1 is an import. 5.0L V8 was holdens last V8 motor castine block.

if u knew something about those motors u can strap a snail on and get easy 400rwkw with stock internals..no shit motor!

Car all log-booked and have sent away for my L2S liscence.

Looking forward to show-n-shine in december, as i dont think ill get it out for a meeting before the end of the year. Discovered the tach-recall button and got a shock to see highest recorded rpm, probably shouldnt do that too often.

reverse gear repaired and gearbox back in the car, looking forward to next track day which will probably be at wakie and then powercruise.

weighed car and it went 1193kg which is a little heavier than i thought but still lite enough.

Good on you man you should be proud of yourself for trying this . i have a porsche carrera 2 with an LS1 in it, with great help from others , the LS1 motor is lighter than the stock 6 with turbos and generates more power . Good luck

Do show, where is your build thread?

hey guys, long time since any updates. Running the car on Anzac day to finish tune on the track to tidy up some light throttle issues. Also trying some new wheel alignment specs. Hope to see some of you there.

    • 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?
