Maybe he decided not to build it after what happened to Paul's(ex-snowy's) car on the weekend....that was very nasty. Glad those guys are ok, they must have been rattled.

I heard Neil loves Cheryl like a daughter and may be afraid of driving her quickly.

It's all good guy's,,,Cheryl and I are alive and kicking.

Whilst I may have lost interest in this thread,,,trust me WE haven't stopped building her,,,far from it she runs again and drives.

Duncan may well be correct in saying she will have her 1st shakedown in December.

Cheers

Neil.

Dates and venues please, If its in Syney I would love to come and say hi and see her in the flesh during her first shake down.

I even have the tyre pressure guage you gave me, which sir both it and me are at your disposal.

I look forward to seeing all your hard work Neil!

Cool, I heard the other day that SAU-NSW is having a track day in December? Is that the SAU Track Day you are talking about?

I will be up for Xmas so would be great to finally get back on a NSW track...and just quickly. My car went ok at the Nats. Need some tyres and more talent as it wasnt overly quick :(

Speaking of old project cars.....

Ryan ive noticed you looking around for another R33??

Andrews car is sitting around and is up for sale.

Now has an r34 neo engine, resprayed in the same blue, new cooler kit, decent rims, interior is back in it with good seats etc.

Shoot me a pm if you are after a car still. It's sitting around with 4 other cars I'll never touch now the R34 is being built.

  • 4 weeks later...

She sure looks the part :worship:

I was talking to Brad at the "Legends Dinner" and he was saying that with the new paint the interior came up looking first class and from the pictures he was not kidding - well done Neil and Duncan.

Now all you need to do is have her completed for the Wakefield day in a few weeks for a shakedown run.

I'm ashamed I've only just stumbled across this thread Neil! Moving the cool car (read proper race cars with cages) threads from the Motorsport section was a mistake. I said that at the time.

Nice build mate! Your hectic engine bay looks as hard core as mine! lol

    • 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...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
