yeah...saw your dodgy balancer...lucky you saw it before your crank nose wore out.

No major updates for me. Car's got a massive oil leak from one of the new braided lines and i haven't had time to sort it. Parts wise, i'm hoping to pick up my front pipes, rocker covers and cat from Paul while i'm over east and get them installed while i fix the leak. Then it's going back to the tuners for more BOOOOOOOOST!!!!!!

LOL, S15 is going well....noticed a couple of pindrops of black oil on the piece of cardboard (which is under engine bay where I park) but meh, I dont know where its coming from so probably nothing to worry about.

Steering feels a little vague but that comes down to the fact it still has the stock suspension setup (with the struts leaking)...

The car definately has a lot of potential though and is an awesome platform.

Also re: brake situation. I left my car outside a mates house in Sydney parked on a downhill slope with my steering wheel pointing slightly to the left (luckily) and I pulled up the handbrake and left the car in neutral (should have put it in reverse). Anyway came out later, and the s15 had probably rolled down the hill about 3-4 metres before mounting a driveway/gutter. Luckily no damage underneath though due to tractor ride height :D

    • 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?
