ill think about it, how much is it going to cost?
Put aside... I don't know... $5000? Thats a broad question dude, do you want to live it up or go cheap?

Btw, TAS 2005 members, I'll make a new thread where we can discuss a plan of attack for the show, I don't want a repeat of the last one where we meet up twice throughout the whole day and thats it... oh, and Troy and I WILL be there on time this time!

Is Christian coming??? He should come...

There's talk on the gtr.co.uk site of going to TAS 2005...I expect a fair few Brits will be making the trip over again, so it'd be good to organize a meeting point for all the members. Does anyone know how to get hold of press passes - going on the Friday, before the mega crowds would be ideal...

Troy/Justin: I know what you mean, from Osaka to Tokyo is a long haul, especially if you're trying to get to Tokyo by mid morning - so how's about arranging to be in Tokyo the day/night before...perfect opporunity to go drinking and it'll mean getting to the Messe the next morning (if you're sober :D) shouldn't take too long....;)

    • 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.
