You guys and gals should be ashamed! Not once have I read anything that expresses any concern whatsoever for the welfare of the ROO!

What of its family???? Did you think of THAT??? Oh Nooooooo too worried about chasing replacement parts I see.

You should all feel suitably chastened.

Jeeeeez......

heh heh heh

Yes, joking. Definately. But I admire Roos, they have better target lock than an F-18 Hornet. An F-18 needs to use radar to seek and acquire, but not the Roo. A bus (or Shell's car) leaves it's home port thousands of km away and, hours later, in the middle of a flat deserted plane with nothing but dirt and no other vehicles in sight, the Roo just knows exactly where to be so it can intercept the bus grille with pin point accuracy. Impressive.

i thought of the roo!! but i couldn't find the bloody thing!! :D

in all seriousness though, i never like to see an animal in pain...i would have rung the cops to put it down if it had been injured after hitting me. They do this with no problem, they put a bullet in the head of one my friend saw hit a car one night.

Bad luck Terminal, uncanny two like leech_

I was on my way back from Bungendore one night with my girlfriend riding shotgun. Been sitting on 130 since i left and hadn't touched the brakes, so I thought it would be a good idea to warm em up incase i need them. Started doing a few hard brakes down to 40kmph to get them really hot and low and behold around the very next corner was about 50 roos all over the road. I steered around two and stopped right infron of another who got confused and keeped hopping down the road and not off it.

Would have been carnage for sure had i not been doing only 50 or so when i saw them.

Some of us have all the luck. lol

    • 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...
