That isn't the sole reason.

Ps. I only damaged one and gave up trying, they killed one then decided oh we don't have the tools to do this.

no Multi-grip? sounds like a poor excuse for a job they obviously didnt want to be bothered with.

Best of luck with the tune.

Bit of a warning tho, youve been driving without a tune since the last round of mods. Rb25's are notorious for damaging ringlands. your oil useage could refelct the start of some piston damage. I found out the hard way (back on April 11th) and am still without any mode of transport .... :/

yeah it sounded like they didnt want to do it, the moment they started working on it and decided they were not gonna tune it everyone went home as my car was the only work for the day.

i'm actually concerned that something happened down there and thats why they didnt touch it because since i've picked it up it hasn't been running too well, i'm hoping its just the heat but i've had dodgy workshops do stupid things before.

i think i read rb enignes dont like detonation, im guessing this is what your talking about. i was hoping to get it all tuned by now but it appears that everyone is either too busy or just doesn't want to touch nistune anymore. oh well i will pull the shaft out tomorrow and im sure that hi power racing and ben phillips would love to make some money doing the final tweaks on my ecu.

Ok update, 15-20 minutes and the bolts are out, probably 10 minutes of that was trying to rolll the car around to get the last 2 bolts at the bottom, now how do I get the shaft out???

    • 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.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
