Nice photos guys.

Just a couple photos I took the other day in Williamstown & Studley Park, Kew of the V36 with the new front grille...

Nice ride there, Steve. Looking Mint. :thumbsup:

Any plans for it? Do you still have the R34 GTT coupe?

Hey Vic,

Thanks mate, no big plans at the moment, I had some damage fixed on it recently after some tool reversed into me on the 23rd of December last year. Just happy to have it back at the moment. Thinking about getting a long-ram pod filter kit but not sure if it's worth the $500 + freight from the US, doesn't increase power enough and I already have another car that's modified so want to keep the daily stock standard - besides, who can complain about 235kW daily driver?

Yes I still have the R34, it's sitting in the garage right now getting new pistons, head work etc. done. Don't go too much into what's done to it on public forums as there are too many prying eyes, if you get my drift :) It's always having work done to it, spends more time in the garage than on the road.

I'm actually thinking about buying a rubbish 3rd car just to take to the shops, beach, etc. Either that, or sell the 34 - but I don't think that's going to happen any time soon :)

Of course, Steve. :) Plus, you wouldn't need to extract alot of power from V36 as you could use as a daily.

If you are getting 3rd car, it will get a little bit expensive and depends on how you are going to use them. I have 3 cars at the moment, V35 (Weekends), Dualis (Daily/Family) and a Mirage (Work). :P

Yo, here she is - needs more mods!

Bought her about 5 months ago though never really take pics. Done a couple of standard mods that include: Blitz intake, HKS Y-pipe, flowmaster muffler and a stainless steel intake pipe on the way. Then the other little things here and there...

Excuse the sh*thouse camera phone pics :laugh:

Enjoy

Nice one you got there, Dave. You got the Momo steering wheel that I like. :thumbsup: What are those things on your screen saying?

It also seem like you catch up with your car enthusiast friends. :)

Haha cheers Vic, not sure, they were there from the previous owner in japan. So decided to keep em on haha. Yeah been to a few meets here in syd. Good to meet people and learn more about cars whenever I can :thumbsup: Already going through this thread I've seen some pretty sweet ideas that i'll prob get on her later down the track.

static from the tv im assuming?

Yeah yet to get the tv tuner in - just recently got a new source of income so should be updating the car with more mods V.soon (:

Yeah I loved the Momo steering wheel until I realised that they have no radio nor cruise controls .... deal breaker for me .... they are sexy though!

Hahaha true that man .. though if i've never had them before then i don't know what i'm missing out on! ;)

Thought maybe I should put a few pics up, seeing as it's been a while since I bought it! These are just the pics of carsales, so all shiny :). Nice rims they were too, but ended up going with the stockers as I have to drive on some rougher roads from time to time and 19" were too hard. Early 04 300GT BTW.

Haha na buddy i was just tryin to comment the pics, Im new to this site tryin to figure how to use it.

:) Ok. For a second, I thought you did because that's one good looking V35 coupe and it's for sale now, I think.

Anyhow, welcome to SAU and hope you find what you are looking for.

Nice looking sedan there, Richard. It's a shame you have to have stockers for the road conditions.

Welcome to SAU. Enjoy your stay. :)

    • 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?
