First thing I did was check for any stuff in my car - found 10,000 JPY in drivers door.

In passenger door pocket found a neatly folded plastic bag from a convenience store - assume it was a vomit bag.

In the boot found sunglasses case.

Chewing gum

Brown Leaves

Dead Insects

I found a tape of love songs obviously made for the wife/new owner of the car who got it dated '96 and was somewhere up under the boot pannels - appeared in the boot out after I did some hard driving :) Most of it was in English language.

oh yeah and a cigarette lighter

i found a speeding ticket ONTOP of the glovebox lid (if u get what i mean)

it was sorta shoved in there, must have been out of anger, i accidently found it

116 in a 100zone

thats all i understood from the ticket, but iv got the guys name, address and phone number

iv been tempted to track him down :P

other sh|t i found i posted in the older thread

hey he probably wanted you to find that cause it was confiscated cause he lost his licence and wants new owner to contact him so that he can tell you the story and get a reminiscient ride in the car.

hmm I didn't find any hair, just moisturising cream on the door carpet trim near the inside handle, and fingernail scratch marks on the external door handle sockets.

Very clean woman. Japanese money smells nice like :P The air filter was black with cigarette smoke but the car didn't have a speck of dust in it. Those air filters work really really well. Smells real nice. The BP ultimate keeps perfuming the car too :mad:

I wonder how long those flares actually are still able to work for - I got one too. Past its official safety use by date though. Why oh why can't I buy replacements? I reakon its the fear of bush fires started by flares. But it would be far better if I had a new one in the car instead of an old one that might not work when that train is coming toward me out in the country. Yes, I've seen a train run into a car in front of me when I was visiting Qld.

i also have labelling tape with japense writing on it in my drivers door well ..... love to know what it says.

The labelling tape is usually related to servicing, there should be either kms [numbers] or a date or something too if you check??? Related to service intervals, it probably just says *Change Filter 50,000ks* or something :D

Sounds to me like somebody got a little action in your car before you bought it :D Are you sure its moisturiser?:) I mean, scratch marks and moisturiser? Cmon!!! :)

Found a defect notice [i think, something to do with the ds tyre, thats where it was red stamped], a passport pic of the ??previous owner??, and a heap of fuel dockets.

Been tempted to contact the owner, the defect notice has a name, licence info and address on it.

Knowing your original mileage and how much circuit racing the car has done would be handy to know, although it'd probably make me cry if I knew the 'real' truth.

No geisha's, no yen, no drugs, no bullet holes, no yakuza

i found that someone must have spilt chocky milk in the boot. i threw the boot carpet in the washing machine but the board over the spare still smells a little...

lots of marks in the consol plastic stemming from ill aimed attemps at cigarette extinguishing. some 800 wet & dry plus cutting wax got them out.

no drugs unfortunately :cheers:

    • 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?
