and as some of u may have guessed it was pretty much a one sided battle :P

GO GIRL!

Josies best ET was 14.22 @ 101.10mph 60ft = 2.366

My best ET was 14.569 @ 97.63mph 60ft = 2.313

however

Soarers best ET was 13.879 @ 101.10mph (Driver inark)

NOTANRs best ET was 14.089 @ 93.16mph (Driver Dr_Drift)

As you can see i was getting a high mph but low ET... mainly cause i couldn't launch the damn thing with that racing clutch which was a shame...

We lined up twice and here are the results:

Josie 60ft = 3.121 ET = 15.296 @ 100.12mph

Me 60ft = 2.322 ET = 14.591 @ 97.76mph

Josie 60ft = 2.729 ET = 14.78 @ 100.81mph

Me 60ft = 2.782 ET = 15.038 @ 96.85mph

Highest MPH:

Josie = 102.2mph

Me = 98.41mph

Soarer = 102.22mph

NOTANR = 98.41

i still think the soarer could go faster, Josie was racing with TRC on, transmission in normal mode and OD which didnt help. The second time i drove with everything set how it should i lost traction all the way up the 60ft mark and had to back right off (stalled it too high off the line).... i reckon if we kept going we could have got it into the mid 13s.

I ended up giving control of my car to the good doctor as i was struggling to get it off the line not getting traction til after 3rd gear and all those times were done on low boost (10psi)... when i upped the boost to try and get into the 13s something broke... and it blew a lovely big cloud of black smoke as sam was driving it at about the 3/4 mark. More woes for my car.

Congratulations to my gf who didnt even want to go and was brought to tears at the thought of having to do it... once she got there and got on the track she was like a demon!! nice one and good on u for giving it a go... just wish i could have seen the reactions from ppl when they read ur name out and realised it was a girl driving it :D

hey i beat her in one race!! and the ET from that was faster than the one when she beat me... wasnt a total owning like u all thought it would be... :P on low boost.

and i dont know what broke on my car... going to have to take it to BMT and find out i guess... seems to happen when on full boost it just missfires and chugs... any other time its fine.

yeah thats the prob... after about 12runs we finally upped the boost and something went bad lol was running a bit hot i think cause when i went to put the boost up the heat from the turbo burnt my arm... and my arm was about 3 or 4 inches away from the turbo lol

even josie did 9 and i did 2 in her car... and we also just sat down the back with the bonnet up for up to 15mins a time talking... could have got more runs in if we liked and we left early

i thought you meant you upped it from inside the cabin and could feel heat from there. I was thinking that was one hot turbo but ahhh umm nevermind :P

lol ak... no just a simple bleed valve which took me 10 goes to change... helps if u turn it in the right direction... everytime i changed it i turned the damn thing down... funny thing was i ran a faster time with it less than 10psi lol

so well BEATEN BY A GIRL.. how does it feel?

and i dunno whether she reads in here - but GREAT WORK JOSIE!! Thats pretty good times for a fairly stock soarer. You did great.

:)

Sounds like it was a quiet night at Calder.. good you got heaps of runs in. The 2 times i've been i've been lucky to get like 3 runs.

still no news on my car :cry: "end of this week definitely"... bullshit..

      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.

      Starting again

      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?
