My sister is a pretty bad driver.

Insurance company's won't insure her any more.

In 2 years of owning her bran new car she pranged it 4 times, in to the back of another car.

I know what her problem is though....... She is to impatient when driving, as is my other half. A little too impatient.

In turn she ran up the back end of another car when changing lanes as she was sitting to close up the car in fronts arse.

I said to her. If you check your blind spot and go to change lanes while he brakes you will wipe out... She said nar nar.. I won't hit him.. No less than 2 minutes later she changed lanes and ripped the commodores front bumper off. Luckly she just nicked it and there wasn't much damage to the other car.

The way I look at it is....

A female that is interested in a cars is interested in finding its limits (hoon) which in turn teaches you a lot about how to brake well and control a car, not to mention it teaches you how long it really does take to stop.

i.e I wanted to teach my other half how to control a slide, she didn't want to as she was scared. A few months later she wiped out at flagstaff round-about when it was wet and stuffed a rim due to slamming in to the gutter. She went sideways and did a 180 almost hitting the light post.

Just my observation.........

I admit I am like the biggest female hoon in adelaide. There is only one way to drive, and that pedal to the medal baby!!!!

Anyone who disagrees with my style of driving, may kindly bend over and lick cow pat....

except that one time last weekend I 255'd that kitty cat in John's ute. My bad.

    • 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.
    • 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.
