Love the Bentley Martin. All you need is super low sus, a set of 20's and you'll have full VIP style :thumbsup:

I now have the Nittos (70+% tread) in the boot of the Sigma, thanks again Steve (& keir - damn nice bloke too) Hopefully by COB today they'll be on the rear of the Skyline :D A quick wheel aligning sesh tomorrow and then it's off to AIR.

See you there Matt (check your PM too mate).

I'm coming out too .... but not to race this time - just to watch and get some footage of Matt doing an 11 :D .... to put the pressure on, if you don't do a big enough burnout before the run and subsequently have grip issues, I am taking her on the track for the next run to show you how it's done :thumbsup:

Nothing ever goes according to plan...

I need my guards rolled ASAP! The Nittos are on but unless I run huge neg camber they rub on the the guard lip like buggery :) The left rear doesn't rub but the right has already done some minor damage :D It's only cosmetic thankfully.

So, can anyone point me in the direction of a place/person that does QUALITY guard lipping/rolling? Preferably in the Nth East area, or even better someone that does mobile guard rolling.

I might post this up as a seperate thread, as I need it done ASAP if I'm to run the upcoming AIR meet!

city discount tyres ridgehaven can do it, and a few other tyre places, do you only need the lip rolled? as they wont do anymore. i needed mine pumped out 2cms or so and no one would even try it, so i had to get a pannel place to do it

Thanks for the help fellas :cheers:

Late breaking news - I've got a guy that does mobile guard rolling ("Slammed" is the business name) coming around tomorrow arvo to do them. He uses a heat gun and the usual hub bolt-on rolling tool. After he's done it's straight up the road for a quick alignment and that "should" be all that's needed, fingers crossed!

Clint, how wide have you gone in both rim and tyre? Is the R32 rear guard less accomodating than the R33? I sure hope I can get away with just a lip and camber job!? PLEASE!

You wanna run 9's!?!? No wonder you need big arse pumped guards, you'll need them to house the rubber needed to run a 9sec pass in RWD :cheers: Hehehe... oh, you mean 9inch wide :D

Thanks for the help fellas :P

Matt, can you let me know how good a job he does, as I need to get mine done too, and also what are his prices like?

Clint - need to catch up soon a d have a go at putting in those rear cradle bushes, the ass end on my car is all over the place!!

    • 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?
