Hey all Troy did not blow his engine at wakie just had a few top end dramas, should be all sorted now and the engine ran strong at EC this week.

The car is running well and Troy is feeling good from the data we got and feedback from Troy with some more seat time before WTAC it should be well into the 30's.

Will be good to see the open RWD battle I think a 33-35 will be needed to get the RWD title but for the class Mmm don't know maybe a 32? Dam some of the cars in open will be fast.

There is some mental stuff being built. Big question is how many will be ready and developed in time I guess.

I think I'll be in same boat again this year where I'm a year behind! My time last year was fast enough for RWD winner in 2010 and my time this year will probably good for 2011 but not fat enough for this year.

Once you go well into the 30s, money and development time start to have an exponential impact! I'm out of both!

So true. Being a year behind every year!

Doesn't matter Russman, we'll have fun cracking gates and driving hard! Even if i had the money some of the other cars do, I dont think I'd pour it all into the car. Mine owes me a bit but less than half of the big hitters. I did buy $23 fender flares off ebay though. Thats how i roll!

We had a container land on our driveway yesterday and unpacked this bad boy fresh from Japan

Lots of work to be done with the event looming up on us but we will get there :)

That's where my container with my R35 ended up! Damn shipping companies, can't trust em.

Good luck in Pro. I'd love to see the car get a quick time in Pro.

Mark Berry punted the hi octane 34 gtr around the qr sprint track in 51.4 today, the fastest timeattack lap ever.

Did this on last years superlap used 265 semis and one corner with a river running through it.

Damn impressive. :worship:

Two records on treaded rubber.

Sprint 51.46

Clubman 53.16

Wicked.

    • 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...
