Great weekend !! Went both days and had a blast and didn't the sun kill me >_< OUCH !!

Who's GTR was the silver, T51R etc one ?? What was up with it ?? I was expecting to see it cut loose in the drag racing.. But that wasn't the case !! :blink:

Was sweet to see GTR001 again too Damo, glad its alive and kicking again :banana:

and twoogle is jangles's car..

My car spat a clutch but i won all my drag races saturday and had plenty of fun. also, i got to go for a run in twoogle when it was going properly, 32psi, 700kw's feels pretty damn good in a GTR.

i need more mods...

that was twoogle, it kept poppin cooler pipes >_< had one good run, todays effort got screwed up by the ute doing burnouts though

Yeah that was stupid! I thought the mazda ute was dq'd for warming tyres and thats why you didnt have to worry about a full noise run!

Well the dyno wasnt there because gup only rang me 2 weeks before the event to see if i wanted to do it yeh only 2 weeks so he didnt realy know if there would be a dyno or not at the event after advertising it would be there i said we would do it for a very reasonable price and he wouldnt pay the money . Especially after he made alot of money out of this event very poor

I got my RX2 to powercruise for the first time. Me and the wife where not vary happy that there was no dyno but fun was had anyway. It was the first time out since I got the combo together. Stolked with power and running temps over the hole weekend. Only problem, I broke engine and turbo in the last cruise!!!! Wife and daughter not happy! Hope to get engine out this weekend to see if there is anything left??? If Gup has a dyno and he also brings the HQ I recon I will enter my car again next year. Had a ball!

    • 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...
