SAU Nickname: Duncan

Car Make and Model: R32 GTR n1

Circuit Name: Eastern Creek

Lap time: 1.50.77

Modifications

Engine: standard rb26. 12psi boost

Power: 235awkw

Suspension: zeal coilovers

Tyres: falken slicks 240/610/17

Brakes: g4 8 piston 330mm

Body weight: 1500kg

Finally got back into the top 10, the slicks were brilliant, probably 1 second quicker than re55s and allowed 210 through turn 1 which was brilliant fun (just lift then turn in). It was 34o out there, and track temp was measured as 55 which would have hurt power (and tyres)

Car ran beautiful..until the drivers side caster rod broke when I hit the brakes for turn 2 @ about 220km/h. That's both sides broken now :O Only got about 15 laps in the end.

BTW I hear John has taken equal #1 spot on the Phillip Island list?

yeah, I think he was in the 47's or 48's. He had a massive lose coming onto the front straight, travelling about 200 meters on the grass at what had to be 180kmh. Good for him for keeping the boot in a driving out. Was behind him and it looked scary, but impressive.

Aren't we all glad Marcov doesn't post on here though. He was running 42's in his R32....

Makes us all look silly. John was in love with his car though. John even rang me this morning for Sams number as he wants to go visit him on the way home.

42's is insane... Where is Franky and JFK when we need them to come and play haha.

New PB for me even if it was on a laptimer... 1.49.82 backed up by a 1.49.88 the following lap. Don't know how I'll get into the 48's...

42's is pretty impressive those who have seen his car would know just how impressive it is. Bloddy fast and one of the best pressented without a doubt.

It isn't a street car though. There are three race track cars getting around now, Sam, JFK and Ivan, the chatty guy that loves to socialise.

Sam is leading the pack.

From what I know

1.42 for Sam

1.43 for JFK

1.44 for Ivan

On the full street trim scene,

Frank, 1.43

me, 1.45

Jack aka "The Stig" 1.46

    • 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...
