OK... So I would love to say I saw a really nice Skyline with a friendly driver behind the wheel but instead....

On the way to uni today I was driving the Starlet just past the Corillian and saw a red R32 GTS-T with a Kakimoto exhaust and GT-R side skirts “wizzing” through cars and when I finally caught up to him (not through excessive speeding or anything just I was choosing my lanes well), I coincidentally took the round-a-bout he was taking (the big one on Parks way near that auditorium place on Constitution Ave). I was going through the roundabout and then when I got to the lights at Constitution Ave he proceeded to flip me off! Then at the next lights he stuck his arm out the window and made a "wanking" motion... to be honest, I thought, "Yeah mate you are a wanker!". What was his issue!? Was he annoyed that someone driving a Starlet could "keep up" with him?

.... so that's what really grinds my gears! :D

had a good 'ol chat with Viet about his plans with his GTR at tuggers car care. Seems as if his results at the dyno didnt impress him too much and is keen to rectify that!

Also spotted a couple of days ago a grey 32 driving the opposite direction near bunnings in tuggers, driver acknowledged me but i was too slow to react! Sorry! Tuning the AM radio...oohhh riiigghhht!

Bout lunch time today at homeworld carpark spotted a very similar r33 to mine. So much so that I wasn't paying too much attention and I had walked up to it trying to disarm it thinking it was my car! (my car being parked in the next row). Silver SII R33 with Starcorp Impuls and exhaust. Main difference between it and my car it had untinted windows, different skirts and a SAU sticker on the back window :D

spotted a few go past work today at the airport. i think i spotted sauce this morning then a bit later spotted a silver 34 with black boot being followed by a maroon 32.

also there is a fairly standard looking maroon 32 that i see a fair bit at work, it belongs to one of the Thrifty guys, not sure if hes on the forum or not.

If it was a filthy looking silver two tone 33 covered in orange dust then yep, that'd be mine haha... Have to drive a gravel road each day atm ;-;

I spot that maroon 32 gtst as well, looks very tidy. I also see a maroon 32 GTR that looks almost showroom tidy out there some days!

    • 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.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
