Import Monster Sauvic Deca Wrap Up Thread- Round 2, 2013


Recommended Posts

Yeah great event guys ... love coming to a place where Bec can beat me by 6 seconds in a BMW on the skid pan, and have my masculinity challenged by my wife.

Yeah real nice work guys ...

No really - thanks to all the organisers and volunteers - it's been an eye opener to get some insight into how much work goes into putting these events on.

I was rather rough after several consecutive evenings of booze hounding.

My highlight was NOT loosing it over the crest on the long wang.

LOL - if it helps, I loved beating you as well :)

Next time I might bring a car with some actual power..... watch out!!!!

FYI All - ive just sent off all the AASA license applications. If you haven't received your within 4 weeks, call them to chase it up.

Bonkers amount of grip in the wet in that Mini ... I couldn't believe it - was like driving in the dry, but it was not dry it was wet. WET CHEATER CAR WET CHEATER CAR!

(Wish you went with your first edit now? :P)

By watch out do you mean 'stand back' or maybe 'caution, danger'?...

And you were both in wet cheater cars!

Nice work mate, mind if I put some of your pics in the SAU VIC newsletter and a link to your write up?

    • 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...
