There's a stack of events coming up - to which minor cruises could be arranged:

20th March - Fulllock drift comp @ Calder Park

27th March - Dyno-day @ Complete Auto

3rd /4th April - AutoSalon @ MEC

Something to coincide with the drift day seems likely though...

I'll add to this a little further.

There are a number of events (and in that I will include Easter) over the next few weeks so at this stage the next major cruise is planned for the middle of April (17th), with a another for the middle of May (22nd).

Last night I went over some maps based upon a route for the next cruise possibly up to Walhalla. Its going to be a fairly complex cruise route wise so it's going to take some time to organise fully (these other cruises take a bit more time and organisation compared to something as easy as the GOR).

I will have all details for the next major cruise up with final dates before the end of March.

Hope that helps.

^^^ as the title says!?!

You gotta be kidding me!? (just stirring ya :D)

As James said displayed, there are going to be a number of events in coming weeks.

3 in the next 3 weeks! That's a pretty decent shot there surely?

Please remember, not everything is going to be a 'cruise' as such.

Just keep that in mind. As not everyone wants to cruise all the time.

ie, MAS - is an event, not a cruise.

The next cruise will be 4-6 weeks off.

Being that MAS needs a bit of attention to pull it all together.

Snowman and myself are Events Co-Ordinators, and being only two of us, we cant exactly have a cruise every week.

There are meetings that we will regularly attend to try and bring everyone as much variety as we can.

As often as we can.

There is a lot of effort and time that goes into planning a successful cruise, and members patience is very much appreciated. We are doing all the work for you guys, and it's for nothing more than the love of the club as we get no $$$ for doing it or anything.

If you give us a little time, we'll give you decent and successful cruises (the GOR is a good example)

But in saying that, there are 2-3 events in the making. So there will be more cruises coming this year.

Just watch the events section for futher details.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      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...
