I am feeling a bit bored. Maybe I'll head out tomorrow night in rwd and give it a go. Need the practice. First time and all.

It's a bit tricky to get it off the line quick. It just wants to spin the wheels on stall.

if all geos well ill run this saturday see what it does very keen to improve on my old time

I would be keen too but I will have a car here to work on. :(

Tuning the 76 tomorrow night, I can already see there will be improvement, hopefully the top end is the same or better too.

Do it !!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????

Couldn't find you after Rudi, you must have Taken off. Well done on the pb.

For the first time, it was a steep learning curve! I lol'd at myself for doing single spinner burn outs. Oh well. :P

1st run was a 13.96 at 100 mph so I was happy to be in the 13s / 100s right away. Nice feeling. Second run was a mass of wheel spin off the line and a 14.8 lol. Tried too much stall.

Last and best run was a 13.84 at 161km with a 2.2 60 foot. Found that I could only launch with a bees dick worth of boost, like1psi. Otherwise it was just instant single tyre frying!

Look forward to getting the front shaft in and shooting for a 13.5.

Nice work guys!

Well done Alex on a 13 first time out! Time for that LSD and the front shaft; there's obviously a fair bit more in it with some stall and more traction. :thumbsup:

I'd really like to get out next Wed if anyone is keen; would've loved to go last night, but work gets in the way...

Thanks Dale.

Rudi, I parked up and went to watch some cars. Those ford turbos really boogy. The PAC rotor was good to watch too.

It was a great feeling reeling people in down the track. The start was slow, but all the cars I raced I reeled in down the track. Just the feeling like it was over so quick too.

Good work Alex :)

2.2 is very good for a heavy car with a single spinner. Shows the 3.5 has the torque to move the weight.

    • 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?
