Pretty sure its just minimum 1kg cams certified.

Mine has been fine. Scrutineered at Sandown and at Winton at the Super Sprint Championships where its alot stricter.

If you lost your licence for a year and still got your car, why haven't you tracked it instead?

Do it somewhere like near like Sandown if your worried at first.

Get a mate to drive it down, and there will be plenty of E85 stations near it for refuel.

Otherwise no need to trailer it down, Jerry can and E85. Richo has done it heaps of times

Yeah all valid points. I'm actually buying 6 25l Jerry cans soon. So hopefully will be able to go somewhere with a car load of fuel :P

It is now grant. Track days are awesome. Just costs a lot of money haha

Excellent, now it's something I like!

Kris, just buy 44 gallon drum and install it in the boot.

Now, it's trackday thread? :P

Need moar wastelanders to talk chit with at Trackdays

When you thinking of tracking?

22nd Dec is the last one at Sandown before its closed for a while for track works.

This will also be the last SAU VIC one for the year.

Plenty of others clubs/events to race at of course. I'll be at Sandown this Sunday via the Maserati Car Club

Tell me Tony, whats your PB at the tracks you've been.

Well first track day was at Sandown in the wet so that was a bit crap 1.47. (Hoping for under ~1:35 this Sunday)

2nd Track day at Winton was a 1:49

Yeah my first trackday at winton was a 1.48.xx with a broken car. Ran like shit lol.

Not too bad for a newbie.

New turbo in and tuned?

What turbo Tony?

Internal gate Hypergear SS-2.

Along with 3inch JJR Bellmouth dump/front pipe, new manifold, ID 1000 injectors.

Hoping for ~280-300rwkw on 19psi to be tuned by Trent.

That will be enough mods on the car to keep me happy on the track till I buy a GTR.

Mods were done moreso from a reliability POV. Don't want to be blowing a stocko turbo down up at Winton...

    • 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?
