popped out to the test and tune tonight, saw a 4 door r34 and a 2 door r34 both run around the mid 14s from memory

saw an old school capri lose it and JUST miss the wall at the pointy end of the track.. was like the 3rd run of the night.. apparently dropped some water but that was all thankfully

and a stupid fast hayabusa drag bike(super stretched rear end etc) collected 2 timing markers at half track luckily nothing else happened to him

couple of pop and crackle and crunch noises from a couple of cars but overall it was a good night

not as busy as previous years for the good friday tnt but with a street shoot out event on tomorrow maybe half the fast cars held out till tomorrow

Well car is freshly serviced ( thanx John) tyres checked and boot loaded ready to go to Hervey bay for 5 days of camping. First long trip in skyline since I've had it so praying it all goes smoothly. The best part is the kids will all be in the captiva so 3-4 hours of peace lol. Can't wait

my wifes parents went over to Japan for a wedding and we asked them to pick up some Domokun stuff

turned out one of the only places you can get it is the NHK TV Character store which is SUPER expensive

they brought us back all this stuff

the cloth underneath opens up to like a table runner sort of length but is just a fabric, we are going to get it framed as its pretty cool

indeed we did, in carseldine :thumbsup: and yes, prob this thursday

YAY for Domokun randomness!

yep we did. pending panel shop and QT I may bring the new toy out.

New exhaust bodo? How much she set ya back? U fitting it?

yeah man, it cost me $350. its an old HKS Priest......which as it turns out is a 3.5inch system (found this out after buying a 3inch gasket for the center join), but has 2 mufflers and a resonator in it, the guy i got it off showed me a vid clip he took of his GTR before removing it, sounds good :)

thinking of just getting one of the 3 inch catco or Xforce cats from JJR to complete it. should be more than enough flow for my car as it is atm.

catback zorst is on, very quiet maybe too quiet. sounds nice inside. and no drone at any speed.

happy laps was good, even had my brothers old '56 beetle out there :)....till it spat the oil filler cap..lol.

    • 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.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
