on that note I'm thinking about going to Suzuka this year.

Anyone been there?

Me and a mate are down for Japanese GP this year. Can only really afford 14 days so gives me about 10 days plus the GP to see Japan and perhaps buy a bucket o shit R31 for some track work at either Suzuka, Fuji or some other track

cool i'll see how i go, i'm still in the maybe stage because of school which finishes for me two weeks before the race and i'd kinda like to get started on the job hunting which doesn't look very promising at this stage. :unsure:

Can only afford 2 weeks, a GP, a car and a track day?

Poor Bris :(

...its all about priorities. I own nothing but two cars...and am single. Its pretty easy to spend your money on holidays when you don't have a Mrs busting your balls about sensible things like saving for a house....wedding rings...kids etc Not having a mortgage and having cheap monthly rent means this 36yr old is trying to live the life I wanted when 21 :)

Not bad a trip for me down to Melbourne.

Fangio stand was as expected. But its Australia, you aren't going to see much anyways.

Might make next year the last Aus one I go to just cause of the new stuff.

An offer to go to Singapore in september is very tempting at the moment! Just for the 3 days. In and out.

KIMI FTW! Wore my "I know what i'm doing" shirt with pride!

i want one of those shirts so bad..

With the Korean and Japanese Grand Prix being run on consecutive weekends and Korean being first you could fly into Tokyo get a flight to Korea for under $100 do the KGP for the weekend , fly back to Japan ,sight see , party ,buy shit box and do the Japan Grand Prix all in just over 1 week.

Warning, Japanese GP is as boring as shit when it comes to atmosphere. I can hook you up with a Japanese mate's club in Roppongi where lots of the GP drivers go after race night but be warned, if your a naughty boy there there's a good chance you'll end up as sashimi, behave and you'll have a wow of a time as it gets packed with foreign and Japanese models.

LOL SASHIMI.

I bought the "I know what I am doing shirt" and the "Yes, yes, yes..." shirts. I grabbed a few for friends that I knew woudl like them and one was wearing his on teh weekend and he tells me lots of people were asking about them :)

LOL, I got massively err, drunk in Paris two weeks ago and lost my Kimi beanie in a pub...annoyed ! :)

If I could afford a hat, Id take it off to you.

Webber will bag a pole and win this weekend. He is long overdue for a win in Malaysia where he has always had pace equal to or better than Seb. Either way its his last Malaysian GP in an Red Bull so he better pull out all stops here and Japan.

you're setting yourself up for dissapointment!

    • 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...
    • 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.
