nah theres a certain amount of sentimental value attached to cars that isnt replaceable ..... plus insurance doesnt cover half the stuff you do to it.

Im not saying i love my car more than my pet ..... if my cat was endanger and so was my car .... i would go save the cat but i do have an emotional attachment to my car.

depends how its viewed ... i'm with nizmo ... i have always hated animals ... and i will never ever have any pets whatsoever ... they are just high maintenance and u dont' really get anything back for all the time and money u spend with them ... imho ... same goes for cars ... so its all the same really ... its all just materialistic things ... in my view anyways ..

i dont hate animals ;) ive got a cat .... concidentally she's as black as my car and likes to sleep on it.

But yeah i can just liken the relationship i have with my car as i do with my cat ..... i care about as much about my car as i do my cat.

Anyway enough talk about pussiies :D

dont look at it so much as losing a car. as much as if you had to take $80,000 of your hard earned (assuming no dealers about) and then you had to lose it. that like losing 2 years employment for alot of people, imagine trying to live off nothing for 2 years.

I was down at customs(airport) today getting stung for duty/gst on parts i ordered and had time to read their little inhouse customs magazine.It had a little section in the back where they boast about their monthly scores such as 428gr of cannibis,12 dehydrated bananas etc etc.

Anyway,one of the things listed in the fraud section was auto passenger vehicle/parts.Something to do with the papers a bit bogus and the items confiscated.....?

    • 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.
