yeah, the early start isn't fun as i'm a night owl too. you end up laying awake the night before as you're really excited about going on the track and can't go to sleep! the meeting time of 0715am is something that we've found works well over the years although i'd love to push it back to a gentler time.

the weather forecast for Adelaide may look bleak, but as Mallala is 60km away from town, it tends to have different weather and misses a lot of the stuff we get in the city. better bring a jacket and warm clothes this time! i don't think that it's going to be t-shirt weather.

haha il go T-shirt and shorts :D nah turbo tune put me in today so i got my brakes done so thats great! so excited... i expect to be the crapest/youngest/less experienced driver there... well at least at the start of the day :P ... will see most of you at meet point in morning!! hopefully everybody's cars run great... see you there

alright guys, both my printers are naffed. and its way too late to do anything about it.

so basically, i need someone to print off the indemnity form or whatever it is that we need for tomorrow and bring it to the meet point for me.

ill be ringing andrew in a minute to see if he can do it, but yeah, just putting it out there.

all sorted. cheers andrew. :D

indemnity forms will be issued in the morning for you all to sign (you get to keep the carbon copy). please bring your drivers licence for this.

hopefully the wind blows all the rain thru overnight!

get a good night's sleep tonight and we'll see you guys at the meet point 0715am tomorrow or up at the paddock by 0830. hope that you all got my checklist by email or PM.

got to bed now and stop tinkering with your cars! lol

cheers - Kim

Can't wait guys, should be a great day. Me and a mate are going to Vilis tomorrow morning for breakfast before the meet at Citys, will be there by about 6:20 if you want to come join

    • 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...
