Never driven on a track, never driven that track! I'm gunna die :P

Matt, few tips.

- Brake (when you're going in a straight line) just before the corner. This shifts weight to the front end and allows a sharper turn in. Can unsettle the car if you brake while turning.

- When you're going into the corner, look at the apex and look where you want to exit. You ideally want to take the corner in a straight line after you've turned in.

-Don't be afraid of coming out wide on the corner, this can help to minimise tyre squeel and allow you to start accelerating earlier, the secret is to use all the space the track gives you.

- Once you've hit the apex of the corner you can accelerate.

360rwkw in a RWD car will be a handful on the track so just go into it slow until you become comfortable with the track and the lines required.

oh man theres gunna be some hectic cars in there!!! though your a first timer

you drive with people with similar experience not power. youll be in the 1:25 section for the first couple runs, then move up slowly till your in the right place

pretty keen now mannnn

Got it! Trail brake, apex, gate!!! Easy

Will be awesome man!! I am getting an SAU NEWCASTLE sticker :P

Lol no idea what trail braking is, but if that means brake before turn-in while car is pointing straight, then yes!.

Your a clown!! Your giving advice and don't understand what it means? Dumb ass :P GTFO

Dude, I actually read what Matt said as Newcastle Skylines sticker as well =S.

Summoning GTR-34A, are you going to the trackday?

Have you got shit in your eye again?

LOL, I'm a lot more confident in my driving ability, than my ability to install a $70 shift knob =D

Got it..... You can't drive and love the knob?

    • 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...
