Hmm, maybe I should enter the beast. Should be run in by then. With Reece, Liz, me and prob Dave we just need Cassbo to make it a reunion tour!

It might be tight but my Riceline may be running come late October :D

Are skids allowed?

We are not allowed to drift the course, link up corners or keep your foot in it burnouts. But tyre slippage around such tight courses is to be expected. These are rules from insurance not us.

it's a shame really.

That's the reason I started going these.

Get the burnouts off the street and all.

Can't fight insurance though :(

It is an interesting rule they have created but we must operate within their regulations.

It does not take away the fun of the day :) Its still a cheap bit of fun :yes:

So if you go out to link the whole course and do a few helis that's not OK.

If you spin the wheels launching, lock the wheels turning around a cone or even sliding around a given cone or 2 that would be OK. It's still great fun, and a great event for people to do their first motorsport event because it's easy on the car :)

To confirm the changes,

I am quite concerned actually, as all I have been doing over the last two texi events were skids and linking corners. How strict will these rules apply to suppress ‘induced power sliding’?

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

      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...
