Yeah last night fuel was about 6c/ltr cheaper in yeppoon than it was in rocky.

Did a lap around yeppoon last night, saw nothing, and on my way home did a "lap" around the circut in rocky and there was nothing too....... meh I'm not really into the lapping thing anyway :domokun:

its actually cheaper up here for ultimate, as i found out driving back on tuesday ....

33SOM are there many imports or skylines in bilo?

There a fair few for the size of the place.. But no cruises etc lol

Id go to rocky for a cruise one day but the roads a lil... umm not good..

Yeah I thought I'd raise my stagea before I got here, thank god I did, but now am seriously thinking of raising it futher, other than the main roads here in rocky, all of them suck dogs balls and are rougher than being a prodistant and walking into a catholic pub in northern ireland!

I lived on a farm near Emerald for many years and went to highschool there, left in 2003... own a black R34 GTT which was up there around easter... it's still ford/holden/shitbox 4cyl central... didn't see any nice imports, just a beat-up r32 and rough-sounding 180 spring to mind. Almost lost the license floating at 150 out the back of Rolleston, slowed for a rise and passed a copper at a tick under 120 :|

Oh, and in regards to the first few pages (from many moons ago) I too remember the chameleon piles of shit - forgotten the smash repairs guy who had the gold rodeo and chenara's vs commodore... reminds me of the quality of the lapping scene :yes:

Yeah i didn't think it was that bad, only some of the ghetto streets are that bad. Actually i was shocked hopw bad the M1 is in places when i was in brisbane last week. The Road from Yeppoon to Rocky is much better.

Yeah it is a nice road, wonder when they will make it split all the way?

About the rough roads in rocky, I find that anything but the highway or Yamba/Musgrave/Queen Elizabeth/Fitzroy street is just shat, bumpy, uneven, potholes, and just generally crap to drive on, guess it might be the stiff setup on the stag, but yeah I dont go the "back" way round town, even if it was shorter, it ends up being longer because I have to slow down ~40kph to feel safe.....

Eventually they play dot to dot with yeppoon road and join all the over taking lanes. Their always extending and adding new passing lanes and overtaking lanes.

yeah true about rocky i guess, I drive a work car most of the time so maybe i don't notice it as much. Glenmore road is horrible (i assume thats the back road our refering too).

Yeah Farm Rd sucks dogs balls too!!

Soon I'll be putting 15" rims, so having a tyre that actually has a bit of tyrewall should cushin the bumps a bit, but still going to raise it a bit more, maybe another inch or so, and change the dampening to soften the ride, turn it back into a boat :D

    • 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...
