We're right 'on the money' now Ricky - so we Execs won't need to ask for confirmations now.

Your attention to detail though is to be applauded!

Look forward to meeting up with you and all the other eager beavers on Wed!

Mmmm beaver... :blink:

are we going to meet for dinner beforehand?

there are a couple of fast food joints nearish.

We will be running late so no can do on the foodz man!

Bobby has kindly offered finger food for those in a rush.

Don't get a ticket though!

There is no decent place to eat right near JEM so I might have to go a Km away.

Their floor is generally clean enough to eat off if that helps :P

We will leave Newcastle at around 4.45 so we wont be too late...

lol turbo used as a food processor

With some of the turbos i have seen you can be assured the food will be blended VERY well! Take that falcon drag car for example :P Dont even need to lift the bonnet to get to the turbo haha

Woodbine is about 4km from JEM. At the intersection there is every type of fast-food you can think of. Including Hooters :)<br />

Awwwwww yeah :yes:

    • 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...
