Pull the fuel pump fuse and crank it

Should fire in the residual fuel in the cylinders

Sounds like the injectors are stuck open for some reason

Yeah this.... Give that a go.... Shouldn't be able to hydraulic lock one of these engines.... When the lines were backwards you would have had a heap of fuel pressure so maybe, but not now.....

I know fuel systems lol

Just don't let me touch it or it'll never go again!

Martin, too much rain?

Martin, too much rain?

when running slicks any amount of rain is to much rain

still first event run and suprised how much grip was available even though the track was wet to very wet all day

stopped raining just long enough to dry out a little bit and managed to set a decent time on the last run of the day

was first in class all day and managed a fourth outright in a field of 45 cars so not a bad effort

just cant beat 4WD in the wet

Good afternoon everyone

I need some tech help that I'm hoping someone can help me with

I have some vids from yesterday and need them edited to be able to upload them to Facebook or hosted on YouTube so wondering if anyone can help with this please

Thanks

im in birmingham gardens. it was suffering from hydralic lock which has been cured by accidently spraying a mate with petrol (he is okay now). the new problem is it is cranking but not igniting. so im thinking when the bosch spark plugs got submerged in water they died. we've called it quits for today. it also has a semi flat battery. its at 11v with the ignition off and drops to 3v during cranking so weve been using the forester to jump it. so at this stage im thinking ill invest in a set of ngk plugs, some new oil and then i need to get some fuel to my place from the servo as im running too low to make it to a servo when she does come back to life. also has anyone had any issue with bosch plugs?

See if u can borrow a set of coil packs from someone to, could be them, the stock packs are shit house.

Feel free to whore away :-)

I've been busy with work :domokun:

im trying to catch up on all the work ive missed getting everything sorted for my apprenticeship next week

BTW

when is the next cruise?

has there been a thread made or what?

ANT!!!! :)

Just a quick question for you all

Who would be keen for a come and try day at the local hillclimb track on the 16th Feb?

Cost is $25 from memory but not sure on car requirements yet as far as extinguisher etc goes.

That sounds pretty cool....

Can you hit pretty fast speeds on that hillclimb track or is it fairly slow and twisty

What do you call fast?

You can go as fast as you like just remember you have to keep on the track though or shit gets real in a hurry

    • 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?
