G'day guys driving home tonight I saw two Skyline Gtr's fully prepped for targa in pink with Donut king signage.

Guess this marks the start of cars coming in for targa.

for anyone who wanted a look they are at the suspension shop don't know the name opposite "store it safe" in Invermay.

Cheers Lavers

Good timing fellas

I will be coming over to service my old R32 GTR at Targa this year and am looking for someone I can loan jacks, stands , jerry cans etc off.

As W A is a long and expensive trip we are trying to keep transport costs down, especially of spare parts.

If you are mechanically minded and want to service on the the event, an arrangement can be made as well.

PM or contact me on the number below.

This is the new owners first time so don't expect anything magical but we hope to finish and build on the experience for next year.

Cheers

nice :) ours is dropping arriving the week before....god knows how they get their cars ready this early ;)

Duncan , know the feeling , we are still building brakes, installing clutches, re making exhausts.

What comp number are you?

Ours is 828

Cheers

Yeah Gtrken you could probably borrow most of that stuff off me If you want. my old man has heaps of stuff down in his shed.

Just PM me with the stuff you need and I'll check if we've got it.

Would love to be on a support crew but can't because i've got school that week. Bugger

Hope this can help in some way.

P.S.

If anyone else running in Targa wants any help just PM me.

Cheers Lavers.

Hi Laver,

Just thought I'd let you know that you were sort of right, and yes they are here for Targa, but that weekend for the Octagon 400 at Baskerville Raceway.

Cheers Mate and keep supporting the Skylines,

Regards

Hmmm, Love targa! Skyline heaven, Was down at georgetown today for work and decided to have a break and watch the cars rock up to the prologue. Very nice. Gonna go to the silverdome 2nite and have a more decent look.

    • 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...
