well ive arrived in rocky , so where you guys go cruising and stuff , so far ive seen a red r34 parked outside autobarn and a gun metal grey r33 with lots of graphics on its side just down the road from autobarn. any1 else from rocky or are we all shy..lol joking

oh well im here for a few weeks so you'll prolly see me out and about

cheers

... it falls apart in a cloud of smoke and dust.

Yes, there are some guys around in Rocky.

Sciby <- blue 33 that's usually covered in dirt, with the plates 75-SAE... the red R34 is a Sony promo car. http://www.autospeed.com.au/cms/A_1961/article.html

Not sure why it's up here, but as it's still got its NSW 'xplode' plates, I can only assume it's up here on a loaner and not a personal purchase. I doubt Sony would part with those plates easily.

oh , who owns the fully sik purple/blue r32 that parked outside of the holden dealership . nice car.

and i seen a wine red r33 gtst at nth rocky today also , good to see a few of you huys get out an about

Hey Rick your R32 looks wicked :wassup: , I cant wait to see it in gladstone one day if your down this way one day... My clutch is silpin again and i wont have it fixed until after new years... i only fitted a new one 9 months ago too... maybe i shouldn't launch it so much. :(

    • 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?
