Watch out ! Its photo time with Uncle Gordo!

Well its been about a month since I moved up here. Regret not one single thing about moving here, which has been great. Been travelling around a heap, up to Sunshine Coast, down to the Gold Coast, around Brisbane and lots of other places. Everything is unbelieveable up here and so much better, and I don't think I'll be coming back to VIC anytime soon unless on holiday. Up here *every* day feels like a holiday :P

Anyhow, had my fun and my semi-holiday, now its the new year better get serious about finding work and boring stuff like that.

So I've been going crazy with the digital camera on my travels.. some large photos here, but most of you are slacking off at work so i'm sure its not too much troublez :)

Rainforest up near Birra Burra and of course some skylines:

More rainforest, great stuff!

The Goldcoast from the best position:

Watch out ! Its photo time with Uncle Gordo!

:P

SAU Cruise to Gordo's House :)

You've done well mate, it looks TOTALLY awesome up there.

;)

Or aint you getting anywhere again?

AHAHAHHAHAH

:P

AHAHAHHAHAH

BAHAHA, umm im getting ready to go out, the 'tuning' will be done later tonight on the dyno... :zap:

hehe, its kind of a long drive though, although not that bad as long as some f*cker truck doesn't rip your door off! New panel goes on tomorrow, then at some stage i'll get them painted - i'll post a pic, the multicoloured 33 :P

yup, its really good - i'm sure the "new" feeling will where off a bit when i have to do boring things like work, etc but for now its awesome..

btw: note my new sig :)

are you there forever now?

make sure you go to woodford folk festival from 26th of decemder - 1st of jan (end of the year i know) awesome, been twice, once as a guest and once as a performer. and its boiling but pissing down rain, and they are all free lovin hippies there, i may go this year to play drums

so yes

GO!

Stands up and salutes his home state...

Nice pics gordo, the drive to the glass house mountains is very scenic... Did u make it up to coolum and noosa?

We could do a whole promotional campaign, where we take pics from our day to day lives, just to rub it in a touch, lol.

The feeling of being on holiday never wears off, well its hasnt for 14 months for me :D Qld is not just a place to live, its a lifestyle

:zap:

hehe, it would be too easy! yeah, lots of photos have turned out great. Made it up to Noosa for a bit (although it was a bit grey at the time) but believe it or not i think its way overrated, seemed pretty shitty to me. Better beaches and lots of other things many other places.

my mate who was up for a couple of weeks and had never been, quickly came to the conclusion it was better than melbourne and i just said "well told you so, now back down to melbourne with u and all the other mexicans! :D"

    • 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...
