and now there is a different clunk, i am thinking it is due to the heim joints in the new upper control arms??

it is only when you hit a bump that unsettles the car (like a divot before it becomes a pothole or surface change etc)

I have spare parts galore at my joint (mainly R32 and R34 parts, I am trying to rack up some cash for my house deposit atm so if your looking for parts PM me and I will let you know if I have the part your looking for.

I am also selling a 2007 Mazda 2 Genki (upgrade Model) 29,000KM's regularly serviced still with new car warranty asking $15500 for it.

I am considering selling my R34 as well so if anyone has any serious offers PM me.

turns out we fitted the straight one upside down, the notch faces the upright not the rim...lol

in turn the upright was hitting on the arm when it compressed alot...

wonder how much the guys doing the wheel alignment will charge to flip it. shouldn't be stuff all as its only 1 extra bolt to undo

Ill b attending thursday if we can get numbers again. Think its morayfield this week unless we want nandos at carseldine. Im easy, i like the drive.

I wont b at happys, car service this sat on 2 cars and some solicitor crap to do

turns out the Beetle wont be making it this weekend...he has other family stuff to do. but will come to the next one.

I prob wont be able to make thursday, as im broke and tired already from the week (insert swearing at rain here).

Happy laps is at Lakeside Raceway (part of queensland raceways) in Dakabin, its a breakfast one, so we will be arriving at the track around 6:30am (all the more reason ash could do his servicing afterwards :P )

gates are open to all if you just wanna come look and say gday, to go on track /breakfast is $35 for QLD members, and im assuming $50 for non members. but breakfast and happy laps needs to be booked beforehand

    • 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...
