Seeming this isn't having a very good response, I thought I'd post the actual details in this thread.

__________________________________

Some of you may remember the Solace event we were trying to get off the ground a while back. Several of the skyline boys (and girls) were there and the support was greatly appreciated.

Thanks to the success of last time (eg: nothing got stolen, no rubbish was left anywhere, noone did burnouts and the like as they left) the owner of the center has given permission for us to have another event, but this time "all out".

For those with boobscruising access, the ''official'' link for it is here with a few suggestions etc here

Everyone should be able to access at least one of those links even as a guest.

Hopefully we can see a fair portion of you there on the 18th October (Saturday). This time around we hope to have some events etc and even more prizes and giveaways as well as events and some serious hardware (< 10 second drag cars etc) on display. As usual the shop will be open with some discounting going on too.

Have a read of the threads and maybe some input for ideas too?

As the thread says, there will be a cruise leaving from the carpark around 8pm heading for the coast. The Gold Coast is starting to pick back up again and with more than 1 months notice, I would like to see a turn out like the last gold coast cruise I organised with 30 + skylines.

Thanks for your support.

I spoke to the owner of Aussie Auto today and he's got some pretty cool goodies lined up for prizes....

Augner(sp?) pedals, Macguires(sp?) gift pack choccas full of car care products, Mothers gift pack choccas full of car care products, Augner(sp?) seat covers, trophies and stuff like hats and shirts.

Got a bit more planning than last time as well as voting for the best car present who'll get a trophy (as will someone deemed "Aussie Autos Choice" picked by the McManager there), a bit of stupidity with a throwing contest (cant tell anymore, or people will be practising) and thats where the Macguires pack comes in. Mother pack up for grabs just by popping your rego in a box. Setting up a mailing list for anyone interested with a few specials targetted only at those people as well as the normal catalouge specials...

20% off goddies in the shop from 6pm to 8pm as well so even if you dont wanna go for the social aspect, at least buy some stuff you need a fair whack cheaper than normal (and aussie auto is cheaper than autobarn/repco on most items to start with).

Anyway just a bit more info for the night as well as a free bump. Hoping to see a fair few of you there, it should be pretty big.

    • 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...
