Sorry about last night guys...

And a big thanks to all who hung around with me...

Gunna rip into it today and find the cause... lol

Taark

not a problem dude...

couldn't leave you up on the mountain on your own... could of been kidnapped by the abo's and had your fuel stolen :domokun:

Thanks all to those that came... was a awesome turn out, a total of 14 cars parking it at pac fair and standing around until 8.40 when we left and in total, we had 9 cars follow us up through the goldcoast hinterlands going through springbroke. 4 additional skylines drove through the car park probably looking for us so we would of probably had 18-20 skylines last night with us.

I'll be organising another one pretty soon for us and it'll be different each time to what we do :)

doesnt need to be different, that was awesome. Taark - no worries mate, was good fun hanging around chatting :domokun: If anybody from last night wants to add me to msn, its -> "gervase AT allegro DOT com DOT au" (replace the capitalized words with the normal symbols).

Whats This About Crashing and breaking down???

I woulda Followed You guys up but the car kept droping cylinders so I cruised home.

I think a couple of cars followed me the wrong way....Sorry guys I was on auto pilot and went the way I normally go after losing the group at a roundabout.

Just drove past and stopped at the Quix for a while.

Pretty devoed i didnt follow now

Spoke to a few ppl i was the 12yr old looking fella driving the grey 33

Everyone was really friendly and it was great to meet a few ppl.

Definetly coming along for the next one!

Hey guys, (crashing yr thread sorry!)

Thanks guys had a great time, glad I made it out, and even more-so that I made it back out after dropping the lady off.

Put a butterfly valve in my exhaust the other night after hearing the difference they made in the one I heard, I think it was Taaarks car before the dramas.

Well done to everyone, and specially the last 6 cars of us that finished up around 1-2am

Hi everyone

Thx for a great night. Thx for all for turning up. Look forward to the next one.

I was one of those guys with Garrysandy who followed Zebra, thought he turned the wrong way at the roundabout at Mudgee by the time we turned around and headed the right way all u guys and gals had gone so yeah looking forward to the next one.

Cheers. :(

em didn't spin out.. she was just showing us a 180 degree handbrake maneuver.. show off imo :D

^^^ ha ha ha^^^ if only it were true :nyaanyaa:

Thanks heaps for an awesome random night. Was awesome to get to no peoples....

Look forward to next one.... Hopefully with no crazy "handbrake maneuver's"..ha ha..

Yeah but was awesome.

Hey guys. Good to meet a few of you. Shame i had to go to work and that the car was playing up. Pulled a whole heap of stuff apart yesterday and found nothing broken or needing replacement. Took her for a run up the road with a mate in the car and it was back to normal again :) Looks like i have gremlins lurking under my hood somewhere.

Lookin forward to the next one and hopefully i can get the night off.

    • 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?
