im still in. so BP's southbound at 7. then head to carseldine from there :) even if chris isnt joining us, im keen for at least a small drive :thumbsup:

sounds good Joe, look forward to fiddling a kit out of it, im sure all the parts are generic enough and can be persuaded into place and shape. if they are steel i can weld that too.

I 'should' be at the bp at 7, however,

Im being pushed by my contractor to get ahead of my current list (clients web site) because i will be netless for a few days. So depending on how im going will depend on my rocking up :P

FMIC - no stock, coming from 'japan', not happy about waiting, and the fact that they have 9 in stock according to ebay. I will be asking for free stickers!!!!

not good, should have told you before buying it, that way you would have had a heads up, should ask for a discount.

oh also, managed to source out a set of 18" rims, very much like what i used to have on the little beast, just need to save up for it (blokes being nice and is willing to wait for me to save it up).

anyone know much about BBS rims?

fark......

i wont be coming either.....very late notice. but the better half has been doing very poorly of late and i kinda need to stay home. shes been home for almost 3 weeks now....and still no answers as to whats wrong.

just thought i'd let you lads all know, took my 32 out willowbank last night. Did an 11.4 @ 123mph. Still a little more left in the current tune, spun a decent amount off the line still.

For those of you who don't know, its 040LAH.. the white 32 from the happy laps on the weekend.

twas a matter of i needed new brake pads (which i still havent got), and i was too lazy and busy to get it done that week beforehand.

i'll def be there for the next one tho, plenty of time to sort out those brakes. :w00t:

Are you just going to get standard pads? when i get my rotors im still unsure of what pads to get.

    • 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...
