well as you can see the road is poorly managed and repaired, my car is over the legal ride height (100mm, i am at 110mm) and i just spoke very nicly to them. they said sent details and pictures explaining what happened...and why.

they will send it all off to the insurance department and sort it all out...i mean they could refuse it, but normally one would think that they would just brush you off rather than at least say please send the details through to our insuarnce department. after all tyhey are in the wrong here and road maintenence with what we pay taxes etc for!!!

im hoping so cause my car may need to be in a movie by the 16th oh june but dont know if its confirmed yet....

at least the council did say that their insurance will sort it all out!

Aww Ouch!!

Could always go for that "drift" look, cable tie stitches maybe an option if not repaired in time :blink:

Gotta love Sydney roads!

Mate my paint's ratty on the guard lip, rubbers arent the best around the windows, big dent above the drivers side window.

Don't stress too much. It's a club stand to promote the club :P Just come up with a nice story like "you did it on one of the SAU trackdays" :banana:

LOL if I entered my current car it would look farked as!! Unlucky there mate, pretty sure I saw your car the other week parked at the top of Bridge Road in Hornsby, with you checking out something at the front? Looked very nice.

Hey Doof, Dennis was having a go at the guys responsible for the heater hoses being delivered today so it looks like they should arrive tomorrow, then it's just waiting on the guards and the interior being reinstalled. Reckon I might just make it!! Also, could I get that money off you soon please, I have a rather large bill coming up :P

Yeah I actually want to give it to you this weekend before I go out on Saturday night incase I decide to blow it away in the city... But with packing and moving house and shit, I'm going to be busy as... would you be able to come down to my area or something???

Yeah I can do that, I'm free Friday or before 6pm on Saturday.

Oh and if you know anyone who wants an R33 gearbox a Mines-chipped ECU or a set of 17s with good rubber, let me know :P

Need to get as much cash together as I can. Can't believe the car has been done so quick, with other projects in the shop too!

Yeah Dennis has always been one of the fastest workers I know... First time I met him, did an engine swap in my brothers RA22... from 1GGZE Supercharged to 1GGTE twin turbo with cooler... that was like 4 years ago before he even had a workshop!

Old smaller charger

He put on a massive charger after that :P

AAAAND I have no pics of the TT :banana:

Man I miss that car ;)

That is probably an RA23 or a TA23 (depending upon what engine was originally in it). Great looking package. I have always loved them since I was a kid...rebuilt an 18RG'd TA23 years and years ago.

Zilch...I know someone chasing an R33 GTS-t box...what do you want for it?

how much do you want for the ecu?

im thinking its time i bought a new one :P

Does that 9 include me? Because that will be an even 10 then.

Hoses arrived today, gauges are all wired up since last night, rest of the engine will now be finished. The guards arrive on Monday so the interior will be re-installed in the meantime. Once the guards are here I have to get engineered, blue slip, rego etc and paint.

    • 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...
