Erin, I am sorry but I have to pull out because of personal reasons, not with anyone here or anything, just some stuff is happening that comes before skylines, and there is not much so it's important, hope you all have a farking good time though, I am very dissapointed that I am going to miss this :)

Oh well dems da brakes!

Knore, as far as I know there isn't any pot holes/bar roads that we travel on. It's all main highway so there could well be seeming all our taxes go into setting up operations for hoons and not fixing up the shocking state of QLD roads.

That's the reason I changed the meeting spot, I personally dont really want to drive my car over dirt after I've spent all damn day cleaning it :)

That's good to hear, I'm sure there are plenty of us who are scared of driveways.

I wouldn't get too excited about washing the car too early, rain is predicted all weekend. :O

Sorry Bob, but I will have to pull out..... ;)  

I "FORGOT" about a wedding that I RSVP'd to a month ago that is on, you guessed it the same night.....

Have fun all

Cam :O

Piss of you are...

Your not in the bridle party then you don't have a skirt on...unless of course...

Oh and aren't u unwell and need some fresh air mixed with fuel...

I will be in the Val during the day now so heading straight to Springwood...and I WILL see you there...

Cheers

Bob

Actually in all seriousness Ang is not feeling well.... so it looks quite possible that I WILL meet you @ Springwood...

Ok thanks erin,

yeh i DEFINATELY cant drive on dirt, my front bushes are split, i wouldnt feel safe at all.

My front bar is fairly low, its about 8cm at the lowest point

Its getting raised an inch a few days after the cruise :)

Also ive gotta say now if its raining ill probably have to miss it, i dont trust the bushes that much especially driving on water :Bang:

Im praying for the best

I bet the water usage goes up today from the 50+ people cleaning their skylines hehe :headspin:

Hey all, im sorry to say that i most likely wont be there tonight, it could be possible to meet up later but i doubt it. We still have to wire up the entire gearbox and build an entire exhaust system so definately dont wait up for me, have fun though guys.

Drive Safe!

I really wish it could of made it but theres just too much left, by exhaust i mean headers as well, and theres probably a good 2-3 hours of wiring and my mechanic stayed the night to get an early start on the car and i wake up and he's no where to be seen, his daily driver is gone but the 10sec ute is still in the driveway??? not answering phone but fare trade i say :)

    • 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.
