lol of course! They must be stoked to have taken a win in the car's first run, but I am sure they are disappointed that Garth's car died mid lap so they will never know how quick it would have been.

Congrats to all the competitors and Hi Octane, it looked likea great crowd and great day.

Awesome day guys, and congrats Mark and Russ.

I'm spewing there's so much crap in the way on this pic but still my fav of the day.

:(

Great pic!

Was a great day, some awsome cars. Wasnt as many spectators as i thought there would have been. And thanks (sorry i dont know you name) to the guy with a sau shirt on for letting me park down towards the pit area.

In the morning? That was me. No probs

Roy: Russman seemed fine all day, looks like he and the other Vic guys had a good time

Was the Vic Supra all noise liek usual or have they finally got that thing working?

Oh, and how did Markov go in his cleaner then clean white R32 GTR

Do you mean "SUPRAT" the red JZA80?

It looked to be kicking ass. Would love to know more about the specs on the turbo side and whats done to the gearbox (sounds straight cut?!)

Early in the day 2 SAUNSW members hand timed it at 1.19 (from memory)

Dont know about Markov's GTR, but its almost too clean for a track car. Wasnt slow though

Yeah I would love to point to the results webpage but its still got last years results :(

Sam M did OK he was somewhere between 5th and 10th overall. The car looks brilliant but maybe a little more time around the track there is needed?

Was the "vic supra' red? It was loud but I don't think it featured overall.

John's Zed came home 5th I think, and 2nd in the shootout.

The Elise that John B was driving came home first or second in open too.

Unfortunately the BSM GTR didn't get fixed in time but I'm sure it will be back next year and very quick once it is sorted in the new spec.

There were some good results too from left field like the IPRA Rx7 that came home 2nd in open.

Not sure where the black GTST came. In fact I noticed a couple of skylines there that I didn't know but didn't get to talk to everyone. I hope they ran OK today....

Sorry if I get the places wrong its all from memory.

There were some good results too from left field like the IPRA Rx7 that came home 2nd in open.

If left field involves a state champ, driver of the year and national runner up. Still a 230hp NA bridgey with a normal diff and gearbox is awesome.

The red s2k?

The Nismo radiator cap decided it didnt like sitting in a VTEC engine bay YO!!!!

No seriously looked like a Nismo radiator cap gave way and spurted coolant everywhere...

    • 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?
