In this months - issue 12- ASM they have the rundown of MAS.

There are some pics of our girls... and yep - MzDefected is there :D Only Leon's car (WHYW-8) is pictured. We are mentioned as prize winners and there is a 1-para about the dyno comp 'controversy' with a small pic of the BLKJET supra.

So - worth a lookie at the newsagent, but that's about it :)

Yeah - so did I :)

Those chumps. Maybe if I had a dinosaur playing on a chrome PSX airbrushed on the side with neons - I might have stood a chance. That and a Ralliart sticker on the back :D

I was bored yesterday and bought the mag. If it's not against copywrite laws, I'll scan the MAS article with photos of our lovely ladies and post it.

Controversy, pffft. Who needs it. Let the times tell which car is better I say. Dyno figures are BS anyway.

They told me that I'd get a photo in there too :D Ah well, as James said, unless you have a $10k paint job and more chrome than a Terminator, you won't make it, even if you did win 3 trophies...

So they're not all bad :)

Yeah that was me. :D

Wow I'm famous :D

I wrote that letter because in the magazine that they gave us with our entry money, there was someone asking for information on Skyline clubs, and the editor (or whoever answers the mail) had refered the person to MCCR.

I mean... PUHLEASE!!!!!!!!!! ;)

So I emailed them and set them straight. :D

I never heard back from them so I kinda forgot about it....

But maybe that will get us a few new members too. :)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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?
