dox ran off with the raffle items and the salad... everyone was left raffle less and salad less. :)

Actually wha happened tot he raffle goodies and the salad?

We all left at 3pm I went to work, 3 of em ih to Altona etc.

i've got the pics on my camera, I'll upload when I get home.

Thik we raised about $220 today.

The meet was great and i have some great pictures to upload (if i could make the size smaller 1Mb per pic :( )

On the dyno day, which hopefully will be happening soon, i will try to bring a set of "wheel weighers" (scales) that are sometimes used by the RTA to weigh trucks, etc. , so that we could weigh and maybe do a suspension ballance on our cars (for those who have coil-overs).

Hope to see you all soon, as well as those that could not make it to this meet.

GREAT freinds, GREAT bbq, GREAT day, Great pics, and a GREAT (but confussing [:) Ash] cruise to Altona.

C ya

hehe hopefully I'll have my car ready for a true dyno run this time. Last time was a 86rwkw with a slipping clutch, black oil and badly untuned :) no CAI. hopefully this time I should go up to about 90rwkw :(

I got pics too... will post shortly... on this thread

Thanks everyone for your help and contributions. We still have all the raffle items - so with just the BBQ, raised a bit over $200!!

Would like to do the raffle before MAS, so stay tuned this week for details. Probably dinner somewhere (pizza) - more fun for the whole family!

Once again - thanks heaps to everyone, and I hope no one got sick from my rather poor burning of the eggs :D

Good effort!

Now we just need to get the cars organised. :uh-huh:

When should we know if we've had any knock backs?

It would be a tad annoying to get cars ready, then find out that they can't be displayed. :D

    • 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?
