Yes, this time of the year again.

I get all the mums and kids asking If I know anyone with cool cars who can take them to the yr12 formal.

Obviously the R30 Hunchback isnt cool enough.

So I will update with more details. (gotta get info from wife)

Any takers?!?!???????

lol :) well when it's actually running, I will have time to touch up the paint etc....otherwise until then it's dirty, and got lots of scratches/chips

Come to think of it I may not be the best to do a formal run.. some a-hole hit the front of my car in the carpark at work on friday so i have a big (1cm x 5cm) bit of paint missing as well as a dent in the front bar.. the motherfkn c-bomb didnt even fkn leave his motherfkn details.. fkn hell this sh!t makes me angry

Oh well.. an excuse to get an aftermarket front bar I suppose

If my skyline is all running perfectly again *fingers crossed* and a time and date can be given to me to confirm the calender. I'd be willing to do a formal run for just a little over the cost of fuel.

Happy to crank up whatever music in the car they wanna play - stereo is all done and doing well. And the car is nice, neat, and normally goes amazingly - plus it aint stupidly loud.

well that counts me out. lol

You just think it pulls harder cos u were driving it when it had nothing :P

(But on a serious note, if u get and put in an awesome good quality cat, should still pull nicely).

Glad she's running, hopefully not too loud or smelly like. Fingers crossed I'll be driving around again tonight or tomorrow night.

    • 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...
