NUGGGGGETTTT!!!!!

cant even do a 1:06 around south circuit :P

Probably could quite easily :P But not until i learn to drive it haha... Havent had much seat time and with the issues i get everytime i try it makes it hard lol

Damn Mat! Car Looks Tough as and has the Balls to back it up. :D

Alot can change in a year hey?

Goodonya Buuuuddy. :thumbsup:

Haha thanks mate! Yep a year has gone quick and plenty has changed.... Car is getting there but has been a bit neglected due to the house and stuff! Anyway 2014 should be its year lol

STFU you!

Why don't you jump in and teach some of us plebs to steer! :P

This!

NO SMOKE? Guess you actually do need a Super99 then :P

You are never going to let up until i run a HTZ are you? :P I like your style haha

So i tried to sneak the car too the new house on a tow truck so i could work on it later but managed to get caught out by a mate -

Anyway, the car made it home safely and the tow truck driver was super helpful, reversed it up the driveway and right into the shed -

So the car has its new home and i will try get my tools and stuff across there on the weekend! I think the shed will need its own build thread so i can come up with some designs... At this stage i am working on something like this -

This way i can have the car straight in the middle bay normally but if any major works are required i can spin him around sideways and have heaps of space... Should be good once its sorted..

Then maybe i should coat this white and do the white writing on the tyres? :rofl:

Envious of your shed space :P

The shed levelling also reduced the angle of the tow tray so I'm guessing it came off easy lol

Yeah it came off much easier than it went on... Even with ramps we still managed to hurt the front bar some more :wacko:

Lololol fark off! I get enough of that from Mr Lith :P

wow.. I want your shed.. that's so sexy, if you saw my garage it looks like a detention centre for Honda boys

Haha that is just the shed, there is a 3 bay garage in the house too :D

Design plan for the garage looks good, need a bigger beer fridge though :P

Haha well funny you say that, we have ended up with fridges everywhere! We purchased a new stainless one so they threw it a bar fridge, this means we now have 2 full size fridges and 2 bar fridges so beer will always be within reach :P

Oh and i took this pic yesterday to show what happened to the second plazmaman silicon joiner within 4-5 laps -

Turbo outlet? Ouch.

Need some hard pipes mate. I have also learnt the hard way that silicon pipe joiners should never be used in anything but straight sections. Used on bends like that is just asking for trouble.

I used to have VERY similar issues. Now changed to a different piping layout that only uses straight joiners.

Lol yep, 2 in a row that day....

Am getting the hard pipes made up soon!

    • 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...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
