SEECS chicks rock!..... NOT

I did SE at melb uni several years ago..... and let me tell u that the Eng department at melb uni can deprive your sex life.....

Did u know that it is b/c of me they put those proxies in place for web surfing..... :O

Uni was fun, wish i still had that carefree life! ;)

i also from mel uni, but recently I just graduated my long boring 7yrs study -> B.Arch, B.PC and B.PD from Department of Architecture, Building. Mind you, there is hard to find a good parking for your skyline around mel uni area. And you should only park ur skyline in the front parking slot so everyone walkpass can see :O

noods ? im doing 1st year mech eng again LOL

u doing applied maths or mech and materials ?

no not doing any of them...i think i can wait for next semester. i borked my enrollment so i'm doing 141 for the third time ffs. damn matrices. it makes me realise how pathetic i am at simple arithmatic. very bad for the esteem :)

are you doing a whole revamp of 1st yr or just a few? do i know you from last yr at all?

I'm at melb, red r32, 3rd year Eng (mechanical)/Sci(mathematical physics). Good old maths 141, i bloody failed 121 and had to do 141 the next sem, screwed up my whole course.

Drive to uni occasionally, train mostly. you may see me smoking in front of eng most of the time.

Seecs is like not used for computing stuff anymore. It's all ICT now.

BTW. don't park on royal parade, it's free, but my car got broken into and smashed same day. safer near seecs.

What do you guys think of that Capaccino with the front mount. I like it, sounds like a ride on lawn mower but looks like it goes hard.

    • 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...
