should i take it personally that there are no pics of my car or is it a Chevy thing? :P

It is amazing what a ride in a Mazda can do to you - just look at the attached pictures of Chris (evil_weevil). :laugh:

The first shot is leaving the pits and Chris is looking very relaxed.

The next shot has Clinton looking for his breaking point at the side of the track and Chris has a concerned look on his face - you going to think about breaking soon or what????

I was think the same thing (except for the whole Chevy thing) but then remembered Matt was in our group :-)

still though a couple of snaps with the arm out the window would've done.

Yep, Bobbeh got it, I would have taken photos of your car if it where in a different session to me :P

Besides, I wouldn't take the camera in the car around the track, it doesn't do video and it weighs heaps! :P

IMO, my favourite photo taken on the day Linky McLink Link

haha, now we're talking Matt!

what a sexy beast, not quite as good looking as the owner but sexy nontheless :)

Actually mate thats probably the best pic i have of my car. Thanks!

Awesome photos cassbo champ!!! I have to say your photography is bloody excellent BUT has me scratching my head as to what the feck my wing is doing under heavy downforce load!!! It looks to be warping on the passanger side, or generating a higher downforce on that side..???!?!?!?! NFI!!

Ando - I would say that the passenger's side of the wing is working correctly and that the camers is desturbing the flow of air on the driver's so it is not generating near as much down force.

Charles,

hahahaha that is funny stuff!!!!

As much fun as it is going out showing people bad habbits, I still get a bit nervous when Im not in the drivers seat! brake.....braking yet?? :P

Must say though Clinton did great out there! If he tweaked the suspension a bit, you'll be surprised much better it'll go!

Ando - the boot looks like it has alot of pressure on it (looking at the lines on boot to rear panels)

Thanks guys :)

To tell the truth I got a couple of people I know who have been into photography longer than me (2 months lol) to pick apart my photos and tell me how they can be better. Lets just say with some changes in the settings and some experience we should hopefully see a bit of an increase in quality :P

Just out of curiosity guys, i want to know - some of those cars seemed super quick down the straight... what speeds were being clocked?

I think in the beginner class I clocked out at around 190km/h a few times according to speedo... I reckon the others in group 1 and 2 were going hell quicker though!

    • 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...
