Hahaha!!

This forum needs a live chat feature lol

MRXTCZ

We have one... sorta... in the members section :laugh:

:P hmmmm sounds tempting but now with this rain i might not need you too.

Well I'll do just a litte bit... say... the centre of your windscreen, then if oyu like it, I can do the rest of the car :)

I'm out... :D

damn damn DAMN shame... for those that haven't heard or felt this car even IDLE, you unfortunately miss out on something cool this year :(

Hope to see you at the show anyway :)

Another bright an early morning for more preparation...

I can only assume that only Steve and myself have any idea of the amount of time and effort that goes into organising a club display... lets not talk about the stress and headaches...

only a few jobs left, then just gotta sit an wait for the tow truck to arrive... then the weekend begins!!!

Now its time to:

- change my exhaust over to something a little more than standard - lol

- fit my front bar - anyone who has worked with fibreglass know how much fun that is

- take my dog to get her hair cut - she somewhat resembles a small sheep

- find a way to pick up 1.5 cubic meters of pine chipping...

apart from that, i can't wait to just get there and f&^king relax lol...

If anyone can bring some small sort of plants, we would appreciate that!!!

Keeping in mind the jungle theme.

Peace....

Ended up getting the car clean last night even through the rain :( Really hoping it stays good with the car parked outside in the elements outside work.

Still need to:

- Gold Class Car

- Wipe all the cutting compound I missed getting off at 10pm in "semi" light

- Polish wheels (in & out)

- Polish exhaust

- Clean windows

- Tyre shine

Hmm.. didn't think the list was that big.. and thats all when I arrive ;) Might do a few things in lunch break!

Hey pual are there any noise restrictions on the dyno? When my car is sorted im keen to join in for a show maybe put my Twin exhaust back on.
They let me on the dyno :thumbsup:

There you go Brad, I'm sure you've been witness to how loud and animalistic Charlie's car sounds!

    • 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.
