Hey Ross good to hear from you.

Great to hear you have the suspension done (my GF won't allow me to spend the money) :-(

Guys as you can see from the President of the Supra club, the Supra boys would love to have a friendly comp, they are not prissy about the possibility of their cars losing, they just want to have some fun. Considering the similarity of the cars and the clubs, it makes perfect sense to do some things together.

How about the following idea for the comp between the clubs. A point system where everyone that attends generates points for their club. The idea of the points is to encourage attendance and having a go. The individual awards would obviously be tied to individual performance:

OK each person attending generates 1 point for their club ie. last = 1 point. 2nd last gets 2 points and so on. So if there was 18 cars attending an event (supra and skylines) the score table would look something like this:

Position 1 Skyline Points 18

“ “ “

Position 16 Supra Points 3

Position 17 Skyline Points 2

(Last) Position 18 Supra Points 1

Outcome: Skyline 20 points Supra 4 points

This encourages the more cars attending the more points the club gets. So even with the extreme power the Supra’s can get the skylines can still win the day. Probably not the individual awards, as that would likely go to the Supra’s.

Same concept with the Drags (Supra boys to organise)

Sounds good.

lol, was actually aimed at Danny 400-500kw Danny in Grey Supra, I have seen it first hand (not on track), but hey, maybe he has improved.

Funny cos im about to drive a JZA80 Supra around Tassie for 6 days, traitor :banana:

Danny as in Mazman, the guy that's been posting here, his car is far from grey, it's black, or Danny as in Sicarious123, he has an aerotop pooh brown coloured Supra. Can't think of a Danny with a grey supra.

Great idea john! does anyone really care that much about winning or loosing? i know i dont. getting on the track with like minded people is what im keen for...

  • 2 weeks later...
In all honesty I just hope that my car makes it through the day without breaking something ;)

What are you saying here? That all that HP is only holding together by velcro, zip ties and 100mph tape? You won't break it cos you drive like a nancy boy anyway :banana:

Let me know when its safe to come back to the forums guys

You guys are hilarious... We'll see what happens on the track...

Michele - Careful what you say, remember who posted a faster time than you at Texikhana?? Youre playing a mans game and I wouldnt want you to get hurt :D

Yeah I've seen your HP now, shame I can't use my new car :D

    • 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...
