Just a warning to anyone about the storms in/heading your way..

Just started to hail in glenmore park region (penrith).. so if it starts to rain get your babies under cover..

Im sitting here watching it hit my car :( dont look to be very big but its a heavy downpour, so they are hitting with force.

edit: just went out to have a look, only lasted a few minutes.. about the size of a 5c piece when u put 2 together.. no damage that I can see :)

Hmmm, I just heard thunder, and I'm in Toongabbie. My car is outside because I was out earlier and have to go back out again soonish, but unless I receive a phone call from the mate I'm supposed to go and see, I might put it in just to be safe...

wow you guys got off easy..... had 15-20 mins of non stop hail here in castle hill, they were double the size than those balls of styrofoam you get in beam bags and stuff....

They were small but they were comming down in the bazillions with a force to match, my street looks like europe.

(oh and the skylines overinsured and at my house so it might be convenient of it hailed lol)

here are some pics

as you can see we are at one of the highest altitudes in the sydney metro area..... maybe why we got hit harder as the hail storm clouds try to get over the hill....

    • 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...
    • 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.
