aim to get there @ 5.30 for scrutineering etc.

and you'll be out racing by 6-6.30pm.. all depending on the track.

that way you get a few quiet runs in (if the track is good) before everyone else gets there so you can have a good 3-5 runs in very quick succsession quite easily

nah, you'll still get runs, just not as frequent as if you were there early.

Also, around 7pm the big V8's get out with no exhausts and if your trying to practice it can be hard to hear your car with your helemt, let alone a thundering V8 next to ya.

thats why i go at 6pm, just to have a few quiet runs on my own without charg'd 8's gonig crazy

Hey Simon,

Ash is right, the earlier you get there the better, you get more runs in and have a much better chance running your mates...

Then again due to the weather, not many people attend, so either way you'll get quite a few runs in..... thats if it doesn't get cancelled from bad weather....

Good Luck!!!!

Thanks fella's. Hopefully it doesn't.

My mate with the Sti has just finished some major mods, and is warning us that he's going to whip the GTR?? :P .. But should be fun to see what the Benz does, another guy we know ran around a flat 12 with a chip upgrade and supercharged pulley kit.

Thanks Kev.. I think the only concern we have is how to get it off the line, "with or without the ESP" If the ESP is Off, forget it the thing will just sit there spinning. Maybe you want to run it for us?? :P

Rigga - It is stock.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      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...
