I have security cameras, but they don't point that far ahead.

Where bout do you live again Justin ?

Wattle Grove, it's actually a nice area, but we get the scum passing through to Forrestfield.

 

I really can't afford this shit, now the wife is telling me I have to fix the windows and sell it.

doesnt seem random getting done twice in 2 days...

 

wonder what youve done to upset them. probably druggies

The first time was someone driving past and throwing a bottle at the car. The second time they pulled up and one of the people in the car walked up and tried to open the door, he couldn't so he smashed the window which set the alarm off, scared him so he ran back to the commodore and they drove off. 

My guess is they wanted to steal it. My wife says she was "too scared" to write down their rego.

isnt that right Corey @turboedsloth

I do like reach arounds :19_kissing:

 

Morning all. Colin you has text message incoming

so I rung my insurance company, because now it's considered "theft"...the only problem is they want $200 MORE than what O'Briens are charging me to do it privately and I'd lose my no claim bonus... 

Why the hell am I paying for insurance?

Japwreck were able to hook me up with a Drivers Side Window.
I've had to dip into my "Emergency" Funds for this and won't be able to do what I was planning to do for another couple of months now :(

 

ps: the "Secret 100+ hp mod" I was putting on the car was a license plate adapter...but it seems moot now.

Ok, so I have Third Party through SGIO on the Skyline. 
They wanted an excess fee of $500 plus my monthly payments would increase by 60% because I'd lose my no claim bonus.

Obriens are charging me $588 for the Front Windscreen + Installing the Drivers Side.

I got the last Drivers Side window from Craig at JapWreck in Cannington for $125.

So all up $713 to fix this.

    • 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...
