Hey guys

Just thought i post up, if people were interested in getting a decent amount SAU members to come out willowbank raceway and take there car down the strip (or just watch )

The suggestion was put forward by a fellow SAU member and i thought also it would be a good idea.

Laterly i have gone out to test and tune to watch and have been kinda bored with the lack of skylines, or interesting cars.

As i have seen the amount of Skylines increasing around the area, it would be good to see a heap of skylines head out and have fun.

I thought to give people some notice and put the date of the test and tune night for the 30th of April.

For details of whats required to take your car down the strip just click on the link http://www.willowbank-raceway.com.au/

It would be good to see a fair amount of skylines head out, and show other members of what you have/done.

Thanks

theres a good chance ill be able to go. it'll be my first run on the new engine. Is anyone from the southside meeting up to go down? Otherwise there's no difference between going down on yr date or any other test n tune

probably wont be much difference.

Only the fact that, hopefully there will be a few skylines on the 30th, and usually hardly any on any other date, which sucks paying 18 bucks to watch average cars go down.

Even the point of the events are for " testing" but ya know come on, bring out some interesting stuff.

It was more to see a few skylines at willowbank on the same night. But if anyone wanted to organise a cruise there, go for it.

But im only like 10 mins away from there. So, pointless for me really.

It could even turn out to be a cruise after it to Mt Cootha or somewhere of interest on a Wednesday, not sure if anyone would be interested in that but ya know could be suggested if theres a next time that something like this is organised

C'mon Miss niz, come for a run in the 34. I'ts heaps of fun, my car is only doing 14's so not that great. Still i loved it.

All the guys thinking of coming with huge power in their cars, COME ON DOWN. I would love to see really fast Skylines having a go. Would be great entertainment. Be nice to outnumber the Xr6 turbo's and SS commo's.

By the looks of it, probably is a good idea if we had two people to organise a northside cruise down and southside, if you guys were interested doing that. Then possibly meeting up at an area before where we can all cruise into willowbank together.

Off the top of my head, i am unaware of a suitable location to meet. I was thinking of Redbank Plaza Shopping Centre, but then we do have a couple of people that live closer to Willowbank then that, and would be travelling backwards. Then again depends on how many turn up and would attend the little cruise down.

But by the look of it theres a decent group of people coming along, and a few that are producing good numbers and new comers, so should be an interesting night.

Awesome!!

Be good to meet you too. Hope we get a few more.

Yeah no worries, im penciling it in now...

I just want to open the bike up, see how fast i can cross the 1/4 in (trap speed i mean)...

Im nervous of a gust of wind at 200 tho, I think it will be a true "test and tune" for me, test how confident I am after clicking into 3nd gear at 15,000rpm :)

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      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!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      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...
