any one going to the mega meet on friday?

Was but now i am thinking i wont! Looked like a good thing but i just dunno about the whole defect situation of late!

1500+ cars. Don't leave first, don't leave last, and you'll be fine I reckon.

Most importantly, don't leave like a dickhead.

Yep i know, but after seeing the action at Top Gear it just deters me from taking the risk... I am not saying for others not to go, i just dont think its wise until i have a proper engineers certificate :)

Hmmm,i roll on 17's i'm a phag lol,on another note whens the next cruise. :action-smiley-069:

I thought that about you :P

We worked out the place to go and how to get there but no-one picked WHEN! lol

nice find Joel!

I shot him a low ball as I can't afford full price right now.

who knows I may still have some bargain luck left over from the motorbike and the evo haha

how's the bike riding going for you?

going great mat, ride it to work and tafe every day, havent been out of newcastle much, sugarloaf a couple times. its not really fast enough to really enjoy the open road but its great for around newy, 18 bucks for 350kms and its as fast as a stock as a rock gtt in a quarter mile, cant complain ay!

18 bucks for 350kms and its as fast as a stock as a rock gtt in a quarter mile, cant complain ay!

These words should not be spoken together! Shame on you!

hahahahah stock is so pathetic ay, the exhaust makes such a huge difference.

I got mine with 199kw and it was boring :P What power does the Banana Emo run?

no idea atm. if it has a hi flow probably 210 if I pump the boost, 220 if i get cams and a retune. right now while I haven't figured out how to raise the boost I'd guess.. 180-190 awkw from what I've read. I'm gunna service it then raise boost and put it on the dyno.

doesn't sound like much but they have the same stock quarter mile time as a gtr at 130 or 140Kw hah. 13.1 seconds apparently?

Give it a run on a Wednesday night? I will once i get some days off at work! Need to get holdiays lol

13.1 is pretty quick, launch that four paw!!!

What boost controller?

umm it'll have to be in tafe holidays but I'd be keen for a go, will have to learn how to launch haha.

I got a hks evc 5 in it.

can't find a setup manual for it, there always different so idk. gunna have a play around with it.

Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • 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...
