Best I could do was back up my 12.3,

Clutch didn't seem to like 300+kW+Drag launches+fat heavy car and is now rather f**ked.

I wont be buying another exedy clutch as it only lasted 9 drag launches and 10k km of fairly sensible street driving most of it on 280kW.

DVS JEZ what would you suggest? Car isn't driven daily and pedal weight is less of a concern but i would like to maintain some feel and not go back to the on/off switch HKS twin plate i had in it.

I've just had the same with an Exedy clutch, it's been in my car for approx. 10 months, and it's gone - in the space of about 2 weeks it went from mild slipping in 4th and 5th to slipping really badly in every gear except first. I've done 8 drag launches (at the SAU Drag Day last year) and the odd Texi day (I usually volunteer for the Texi days, so I only tend to do 2 or 3 runs in a day).

I'm looking for a Nismo Super Coppermix single at a somewhat decent price - can anyone hook a brother up???

i actualy should have went heathcote yesterday apparently no rain and a mate ran an 8.9 in his street car!

Must be pretty trick. They get a bit twitchy and take your plate#, boot you out if you don't have the right cage/chute/gear at those speeds.

Daleo and Myself are heading out to WSID on Wenesday the 22nd of August anyone else keen to come down and join us???

I possibly could be interested, I'm dead stock right now, so it would be good to see how it improves over time.

I might be keen, don't know if I can do better:(

Awesome Rudi; it would be great to see you, we need to chat.

Set yourself a benchmark, and watch the times drop as you make changes.

How much is it and what do i need to bring along? Do they do much scrutinering?(the dodgy people who complied my car didnt change the tires so it still has japanese tires on it) I may have a band rehearsal, but if not i would say that im in for sure if there are a few other guys going. Would be good to meet a few other stag owners

its only $50 and you could possibly get up to 5-6 runs depending on how busy it is.

you need a helmet and long sleved shirt and pants. scrutinering is easy as long as the car is road worthy. tires should be ok.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      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!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      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...
