Hey guys,

I talked to my friend (Joe) and he is actually running his own fireworks store this weekend in Gungahlin under the waves carwash and on wooley st in Dickson. Tell him Steve with the white 33 sent you and he should work something out for you :D.

Hey guys I'm from QLD but am coming down to see family for the long weekend... I wan2 buy some fireworks but being from QLD don't have ID... is it possible to meet up with someone so they can get me fireworks.... PM me and of course I'm happy to through some extra cash your way

just by asking at some of the stores we wound up with some fairly amazing Mortar fireworks (not saying which one, just ask at the smaller stores if they have any bigger ones). $60 for 10 'rounds', fired 2 off tonight and they are insanely loud.

Also don't go to Adam and Eve, theres a store in the same carpark as the Higgins shops that sells the same packs (pink, blue, orange etc.) for $20-30 cheaper. 50-60% off my arse...

Locked all my cats and dogs in the shed before heading out.

About 5 or 6 years ago 2 of my dogs ran away on fire works nights from our old house in Rivett, 1 of them was found a day later, the other disappeared. 10 months later we got him back after the people who found him decided to get him checked at a vet before moving interstate, they found his microchip and we got our dog back.

Hopefully no one was doing any stupid crap with fireworks, apparently this year is the trial year. If too many problems arise fireworks will be illegal in Canberra like all the other states.

    • 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...
