You sure you aren't describing the buckets way with pothole cover up all along

I know it's bad enough in the truck going along but if you think it's fine then I'll add another option that instead of turning off keep going and just north of Stroud turn onto Stroud Hill Road and cut along to Dungog.

The road starts out at 100 and nice sweepers but once you start the climb would be brake power out in second to the next corner and brake again with maybe a touch of third gear on the short straights

Nah I was talking about booral rd, the corners look really nice on map, but when I dropped street view down there, it looked really rough...

Yeah no worries

Haven't driven booral road but drive the buckets way at least once a week and Stroud hill road probably once a month and every time I'm on that climb I wish I had the Skyline and not a truck weighing 14+ tonees

hahaha im being more of a bastard then usual ay matt!

are we ready to set a date?? i wont be free until the second half of august. im assuming ill have lots of visitors (or parties) when i move

Okay how does the 26th of August sound for everyone?

Or should we let Wedge set a date so we know when he will be in town?

Maybe :(

Haha August is motorsport month!!! WTAC, V8 super nuggets, Drift and meant to be Marulan track day too.... So I may be out, but you guys should organise it anyway as it looks awesome! I'll be Jelly!

itd be nice if joel could come for his gtrs debut cruise.

was kurtis at the cruise?? dont think ive met him

Yeah would be awesome!!

Nope you didn't meet Kurtis as the car wasn't tuned, it is now :D

The V8 supercars are on that weekend and it's dads birthday on the 26th but I'll see what I can do anyway :P

f**k I'm an idiot

The 26th is the Maitland Motrfest

The 25th maybe?

Or is everyone busy on Saturdays?

Orrrrrrr could make it the weekend after

Hahaha oh yeah, I remember we already spoke about this :P derrrrrr

I thought we where planning the Stockton get together first

Probably plan these as a semi regular thing mate, but for now the planning seems to be going well for cruises etc so keep it up :) once everyone agrees on a time and place we are allowed to start an official event..... :)

    • 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...
