did the hill climb. was a blast. total handful....

up in the air of what to do.

theres no low to mid range then huge top end for a second and change gear.

do i change the rear housing from a .82 to a .63 rear housing?

or wait till i put a 25/30 in it and hopefully that fixes it?

Before spending money unplug vct solenoid and see if it makes things worse. If it stays the same get vct workimg

yer im going to have to.. just irritates me i have to do that after sending it to 2 different workshops, when i suck at mechanics!

Bit of an update.

Decided to paint the car. currently in a million bits. Have an rb30 also half pulled down.

Asked around, what is the biggest stupidest wing for a 33? BCL was the answer..... as you can tell my dad in the back ground was as impressed with it.... good for a laugh!

Soo as for the interior, i let my much younger brother loose to decide the colour.... he came back with the phantom purple from the falcon BF era i think..... I didnt care so i said go for it. sprayed it on the under side of his boot.... and the result was

I didnt mind it to much.... but he said its not finished and i had to go away until it was done.... i then come back to this

Im unsure how i feel about this... but hes adamant that its what my interior is going to be.... not only that its all been bought! lol Leason to you all dont let your younger siblings pick colours!

Don't go 0.63 rear, yuck.

 

I was defiantly considering it after seeing a s14 with almost my exact same mods on a rb25 make 280kws, and boy was its acceleration excellent and response was awesome.

But im building a rb30 / 25 so hopefully that will put the response issues to bed

    • 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.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
