I saw PJ on Thursday. He said with the dollar the way it is he won't do them.

All good. As I mentioned earlier, there are another two sets between mates to use for fabrication. No drama.

That gate position issue isn't cool.

We go our Tial pair through VPW.

Hmm, i didnt check to see how close those 2 gates were on a 6boost manifold.

@ Buraz, What did you do to make them fit? (so i dont need to pull everything out to check)

Just clocked them around on the V band mount to clear each other?

It's just a bitch to do anything really!! Just played around too much and wasted time. Best would have been to extend and separate them a bit. They basically lean on eachother, especially the hot side of one wastegate is leaning on the top of the other. Apparently it can be bad as it can damage the inside diaphragm. Yeh just clocked them around but it's not as easy as it sounds. As the v bands are in the way of eachother too.

Hard to explain but a pain in the arse.

So, had a delivery today. 1 gate only. :/.

I also noticed the send date on the package. One day after I asked for a refund. Funny that!. Came from NZ though.

Give me the other gate. Won't be dealing with them again!

I have no words Paulie other than tear someone's asshole up.

That's simply outright appalling

Thats it's final orientation

Housing to gasket size is atrocious. The manifold to gasket was pretty much spot on.

Micko matched it up. No point having a massive lip!

Dump tacked up. We cut down a 3 to 5 inch expander at 4 inch. The 3 to 4 in the same length was far too long.

4 inch flexi which will go in the dump

    • 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...
