I'm just gonna have a futile whinge here guys.

I'd just like to point out that this morning is officially my second worst morning of the year.

This Melbourne weather has reached a new all time low. As I stood in my living room and gazed out the window onto Malvern Rd this morning never have I had such an overwhelming urge to get back in Bed. Here I am at work 3 hours after waking up and I am still suffering from this deep blue funk. I'm not actually depressed or anything its just that this crap crap weather really drags my spirits down.

Anyone else out there feeling dark this morning?

:P:D:) :) :)

w2ell coz it was tuned at race pace they have a low scoring dyno, the owner at race pace said the high 170s rwkw it pulled is very very good for the car and the mods i have he said that most get low 170s with those mods, but im gonig to go to a more generally scoring dyno and see, my guess would be somewhere in the 190s

which reminds me i gotta ask leewah his thoughts on the difference in figures of race pace to other places as when i havd the safc etc i got 182rwkw on 10psi and now i have the powerfc and 10.5-11 psi so it has gotta be more, and the fact its been tuned by a much better tuning shop (ice)

/me walks away to PM leewah

I will be cruising up to brisbane next week, leaving tuesday will be there approx friday after a coupla stop offs in albury/sydney/coffs...

only in bris for a few days though then back down to melb.

Rain only pisses me off when A. I get wet even with a coat and umbrella on the way to work this morning - bottom of my trousers are still damp and B. When I want to drive my car.

Other than that I dont mind the rain - it can be relaxing :D

If you are responding to MY post Doxx then you obviously didnt read it very well :P

FTR: there aren't many farms in the city :D

WE DO NEED THE RAIN - I know this, its not hard to know this.

    • 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...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
