Ahhhh, you made me paronoid!, i thought i was speeding (or my speedo was out) and leaving the group behind.

Change that battery Nick and check your alternator.  Make sure the regulator is not over charging and frying the battery

sorry Al this maybe a really stoopid question... but what does the battery have to do with the clutch?

Almost 100% sure that its the clutch thats fubar... it was kinda funny... (in between being really sh!t)... If I put in any more than about 15% throttle in 4th or 5th gear the revs would shoot up and I would start slowing down...

crawling along punt road etc was fun too... I had to go all the way up punt road hill in FIRST GEAR! :Oops:

Al is pretty sick (not in the head this time) he thought you were Chris the "Scotty-Man" :D

I think Chris also said something about a clutch.

yes, i use a much more harder compound on my tyres (that's my official excuse). Lot harder to smoke up :D. Also might help that I haven't attended a skidpan day just yet and that I have a very low powered skyline. :) I'd love to see the day Al managed to get 520km out of a full tank :) Different courses for different horses eh?

Hey greg is it too large, coz at the res I'm running at (1600 by something) its pretty small. I'll take it off for now till I get around to making a smaller version.

On behalf of the Northern Street Cruizers and myself, I would like to say a HUGE THANKYOU to all the members of the Skyline Forum who came along on the day. A great success was had by all members with Skylines cleaning up every event, between Chris- R33 GTR, Andrew R34 GT-T and Yu Wing-Wong Mines R33 they won everything. The dual slalom was a feature of the event with a shoot out between Andrew and Yu, AWESOME stuff. There will definetly be another event so keep a look out early next year. AGAIN Thankyou all for making the event a success.

Had an awsome day. Nice meeting a few of you guyz. Killed my rear tyres on the figure 8 circuit. Hehehehe!!!! But loved every moment of it. Thats what it is all about!!!

Cars back in the panel shop to repair the front bar. Hopefully get it back before the Twilight Drift Practice Day at Calder.

Thanks to all that organised this event.

Al, you said your best was with a passenger and you hit a cone, so was mine. You know that dave guy with the cortina well he was with me when i did a 53 second pass and hit the set of hats out of the long sweeper and one of the hats inside the really tight part just before the end. Soooo na... na... na,nah........ na... na...! :jk:

Where's the photos!!!!!!!!!!

come on tell em' the true story. You got the double bed then were trying to entice us with "extra big boy body warmth"

:)

You missed a night sharing a room with myself andrew, so i guess it wasnt that bad. Though, shivam did get a little cold and was trying to snuggle with me! :)

Sorry about that Nick, did not think b4 i typed. As Shivam has stated i thought you were Chris, as he too stated some minor problems with his clutch b4 the event even started.

WE WANT PHOTOS, WE WANT PHOTOS, WE WANT PHOTOS, WE WANT PHOTOS, WE WANT PHOTOS, WE WANT PHOTOS, WE WANT PHOTOS, WE WANT PHOTOS, WE WANT PHOTOS, WE WANT PHOTOS, WE WANT PHOTOS, WE WANT PHOTOS, WE WANT PHOTOS, WE WANT PHOTOS.

OK OK, Been a busy 2 days!

    • 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.
