So I've been browsing the Vic forums for a bit now, and I've noticed that 80% of the threads in here would be much better suited for the General Automotive or Forced Induction forums...

Is it fair to ask the Victorian moderators to please move threads into their appropriate sections in future so the rest of SAU can partake in the discussions and glean knowledge from the very good input you guys have, but keep hidden inside the Vic forums?

Most people outside of Victoria see no real reason to venture in here to look for information about the NISMO R34 MFD, or this: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=33628

Why would something like that be posted in the Victoria forums?? :confused:

Please share the wealth and post in the correct forums, as it also makes it a lot easier when searching for information!!

Cheers guys :)

Usally people want someones opinion in victoria for most items of interest and service as people want to go to workshops in victoria not in other states usally if they dont get an answer here they will post up for the whole forum to too what they can do. Still when u search for something be more specific and check the whole forum, not everything is where it is supposed to be some things are in general but part of forced induction etc. The thread u gave an example off it was posted in the forced indcution section before "It was posted about a week ago in 1 of the other "I want 250rwkw" threads in Forced Induction QUOTE "It was posted about a week ago in 1 of the other "I want 250rwkw" threads in Forced Induction ".

But yes whenever i see something that can be usefull to the rest of sau i will post it in the correct section i usally do when i have a chance. Meh :)

quick hide the stash... who let merli in here? Usually the threads are started with vic responses in mind, like where to get stuff etc. But more often than not its the vic guys wanting the opinion of their mates who are also in the vic section. I agree we've been lazy (the mods) we should do a lil spring cleaning...

:)

PS I need an email addy to email the banner to, or an FTP location to upload it to.

Also, I wouldn't DREAM of trying to disband the cameraderie you guys have in here... I'm just saying that quite few threads really have nothing to do with Victoria, and would be appreciated by people who never venture into the Victorian Forums :mad:

Here are a few examples IMHO!

Beautiful blue paintjob:

Home-made pulleys:

Missing Nissan blue plate? (This one would be of interest to a LOT of people!!!)

Trust T517z Turbo!!! (YUMMY :()

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=34005

Skyline Commercials!!

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=33853

And that's just on the first two pages :( (There were more in those two pages but I picked the most outstanding threads that I would have loved to have seen earlier had they been posted outside of the Victoria specific forums)

I hope you guys aren't taking this the wrong way, it's just that there's a wealth of information that's hiding in here that 70% of SAU will never see :P

Just because I found them, that means everyone can? Doesn't work like that mate... Not everyone is as resourceful as I am!! HAHAHAHAHAA, just kidding :P

Can I ask how often you check the Western Australia or South Australia forums? Myself? NONE. I suppose I should make a similar thread in there too :mad:

Thats cool will keep it flowing to the other sections of the forums if anything gets posted in vic that could/would have some use to more than one person :P

Will make sure the mods keep an eye out as well. Cheers Rob

    • 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...
