spotted Cejay cleaning his 'was-once-a-WRX-but-isnt-anymore' at the belconnen car wash and had a quick chat

and spotted me finding out why the heat shield around the turbo is named a heat shield... also i snapped a bolt on it when i was trying to remove it... good times

7:40pm tonight, cnr Drakeford and Erindale Dr. Turning right from Tuggers onto Drakeford, I watched a white 33 with a white 'For Sale' sign and mobile number on rear windscreen give it a gutful and get a bit crossed up... if I were using bike terms I would have called it a 'tank slapper'.

I caught up side by side to give a thumbs up :D but you didn't look up :) I should have called the mobile hehe

Yeah was good to catch up, and your car really wasn't as dirty as you thought it was :thumbsup:

haha yea i'm pretty anal about the dirt, washed it again today :thumbsup:

Dropped my car off in fyshwick to have exhaust finished off and wandered around fyshwick for an hour, spotted a white 32 (driven by a guy with mad sideburns/mutton chops), white 33 with DTS Dyno stickers on it, the J-Racing 34 and a black 33 near shell servo all between 1pm and 2:30. Also i'd recommend Carline Exhausts in Fyshwick for anyone that needs exhaust fitting, was a bit iffy when i saw their shop (looks like something from the 70s haha) but the work was very good, very fast, very cheap AND they got that bastard of an exhaust sensor off!

hahah! those would have been my mad sideburns. was driving around fyshwick collecting various bits n pieces to clean up the car a bit.

Just because you have epic sideburns doesnt mean your too good to wave back to us normal people :thumbsup:

    • 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...
