At least it isn't a skyline with a commodore engine. :P

shh he has alerts set up for key phrases, I really do want to see his car though and see how it looks and goes.

I used to like the maxima's but I just can't dig them now, everyone has their own style though.

People would cry if they were beaten by a maxima.

210 is respectable alright, even more so when it comes from something so unassuming as a maxima.

I am looking forward to being able to get back into the swing of things with the club. Between work, building and finishing a house, and medical crap my car was just left in the shed for months.

Now it is tuned and ready for fun, I get to take it for a good long test drive on Friday and see what she can really do.

Ah well that's just cheating.

Are there going to be any events held northside (Moreton Bay area) other than lakeside this year? Maybe like a Redcliffe beach day or something.

We did a cruise just a few weeks ago northside, which ended at the beach :)

Driving bonnetless was interesting. I've done it many a time in my Beetle during testing and tuning etc, but that just doesn't have the same effect. Being able to watch the top of your engine while driving is pretty impressive :)

Twas however a very short drive in the early hours of the morning. So popo or any issues were not expected.

Bonnet is now in paint and ready for Vinyl. Fingers crossed I get it done before the weekend....or its dyno day with dull gray instead of brushed steel bonnet.

Yes I do, I see all...

Also now that I can downshift with the new stall and my battery stays in I reckon I'd chop you round a track :P

Yeah I don't know about that one, I haven't been on a track since Feb last year but even when I had 300hp I could cut round QR's Clubman pretty quick.

That would be an interesting race actually, I would need beer and a grandstand to watch from.

If I only had to do one lap it wouldn't be a race... (Problem is after 3-4 my brakes go bye bye)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
