Hi guys,

I recently moved from sydney back to canberra again and noticed the large amount of skylines around.

Keen on comming along to the next gathering, but no spirited driving until I get some new tyres.

Spotted WSB ??? grey R32 GTST with large front mount on the way to work, erindale drive

also a YES ??? white R33 R33 GT25T on the parked on the same road aswell.

and anyone owning a black 4 door auto GTS working for centrelink?, it's got pink fluffy playboy seat covers.

Just spotted in braddon as i crossed the road half an hour ago a maroon R32 looked to be doing laps. mate it's thursday, you don't need to be that keen.

Haha yeah i saw that too, had a bit off a giggle to myself. I went around once when i got to civic, parked and walked around... saw this guy doing laps for the whole time i was in civic!

My mate looked at buying that car from the previous owner... i wont elaborate but the new owner got raped.

I saw the mother of all ACT rego'd GT-R, R34 Gtr, green to purple hue, number plates "RH9" Has got some guts to have that as a number plate, but by the sounds of it (and what I read in Autosalon Magazine, close to 600 AWKW on low boost!!!!!!) It should be able to back it up. Any way spotted in front of Hoyts in woden along the "woden laps strip"

Ah,yes:RH9. Pass the Kleenex,please...however,I still feel the JUN R32 takes the prize(biased,I know). Close call,tho'!

Spotted a very sexy 33 GT-R at Integra yesterday;TE-37's,set up for tarmac rallies(someone say "Tassie"?),neat as with a excellently set up engine,etc.

Saw some guy in a black/gunmetal grey stock looking 33 chopping traffic like some kind of superhero along with a VL and another car I can't remember on Hindmarsh drive last night, it would have been awesomely entertaining from my point of view if a cop or 10 was around

    • 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...
