So if this Homo cruise isnt happening do you all wanna catch up for a feed on Sunday somewhere? Cruise to the bay for Pizza? Hoggies? Stroud Pub?

sounds good, but would prefer not to go to the bay.. going there tomorrow, then sat to service the car, then probably monday aswell..

Yep that is a fair call.... Not going to Newcastle etc so where else? Any decent food will do.... I dont mind if we go for a thrash out through paterson etc and find a pub?

Pub at Patterson

Two pubs at Dungog

One or two a Stroud

Or keep going to Gloucester ?

Hey guys,

I used to live in Newcastle but have moved to Tamworth, do travel back regularly though.

I am trying to track down some Splitfire packs to suit RB25 series 1. I am in town this weekend to get tuning done and tuner thinks we have a spark issue. If anyone has any for sale/loan let me know!

When it is tuned I am keen to come meet up for a cruise too.

Cheers,

Hey all

What's been happening

I've had a massive fail as the go kart still won't go. Sending it in for new loom and imputed so will see what happens from there

Had a win with one thing though I think but need to ask the smart persons in here a very important question.

Does anyone know what a sign with a white background black circle and a black diagonal line through it means?

I think I know but want to be sure.

Hey guys,

Thanks for the responses. We ended up finding a number of other issues and think the coils are fine now. Plenty of progress made, hopefully I will be back in about a month for some dyno time and then meet up for a boost!

My tuner is a guy called Brogan, we were just running around street tuning last weekend, but dyno is the next step. I've seen the potential now of my car so that will keep me motivated to keep working on the thing and spending money....

Where do people usually mount their gauges on 32's. The dash seems like it would be annoying to mount them on but i want to keep my stereo haha >_< Was looking at a set of Defi 60mm but really have no where to put them.

Got a little problem.

So reversed the gtr out of the garage on Sunday for a clean. Fuel pump made a funny noise priming, but started fine.

An hour later went to start it - cranks but no ignition. Fuel pump is priming normally, no unusually noises from engine and visible wiring problems. I pushed it back in the garage as I had to head out.

Anyway, tried to start it again this arvo - started first go. Turned it off, started first go again.

This has got me a little puzzled. Any ideas what cause the lack of ignition?

was it a cold morning? could had a bad join somewhere that stopped plugs firing?

I always look at spark plugs/leads/coils first when those are the symptoms. specially if you heard the pump going.

    • 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?
