lol nice! he had a fair crack in that FC though, that thing looked like it had no traction all day haha

I had 4 bad tyres on. Previously ive just swapped off the rears and it worked well. This time i had no front grip and locked up if i thought about breaking. Still had fun doing skids.

Protip: keep reasonable front tyres on when going to texi.

And finally i get footage of my car spitting fire - around 1:03 for those playing at home. Thats made my day Eric :banana:

hhahah thats a good idea

any news on the car?

On my car?

I lost second gear synchro and my catch can filled up and put some oil through to the intake..... But other than that she ran very well, she kept all the cheater cars honest

Whoever owned that WRX, champ of a bloke, and a bloody good driver! In the second video I'm glad you got the launch of thr GTR. That appears like the second time l battle you I think where I didn't botch the launch... Lol

I got the vid of me frying my tyres but its actually quite boring. So unless some people actually want to see it I won't bother uploading it. My Gopro stuffed up too so all my vids have the sound out by like half a second. Really annoying!

Thanks to the organisers. I would've liked to stay around and help clean up but had to take my mate home because he had work that night.

Good fun. But kiddies don't do what i did and keep going after you've shredded your tyres. Doesn't work out too well.

Paint damage to rear quarter panels happened to 2 cars when the tread body tore away from the carcass, little steel wires in the belts do a bit of scratching!

We may look into some sort of plastic adhesive protective wrap to put over rear guards etc for a little coin, if you wish to really punish the tyres on the course....

    • 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?
