I might take a photo later. The knob does screw off, but the shaft is way bigger than the hole in the top of the rubber boot. The shifter comes out of the gearbox by removing a sirclip.

Geoff - If I got a boot that would side over the shaft, the oil would still be able to get out the top. Unless I cable tied it to the shaft. (But that's just dodgey, yes, I know thats what you would do.)

Duncan - I think this wed might be an SAU meet. Snowman? correct me please?

Chris, it should still be kept in if sealed to the outer shaft and around the top of the box. I know mine is split as well so will need to come up with a fix when I go to redline lightweight also. Cable ties are your friend man :D

Roy, a quick rings and bearings rebuild and sell the leftovers might be in order but ride them a bit for the replacement engine. 2 days to swap engines remember.

Duncan, Weds night at the whitehorse :D

Guys - this Wed is a NDSOC meet. The next SAU meet isn't until 21st Sept (if you don't count the club launch on the 12th) Apparently the HSV Club don't put entires up on their websites until the very last minute - give their members the fist chance to sign up. However, I did notice in the NDSOC magazine that it said Karyn has entry forms so we can get them tomorrow night at the meeting.

Denham - I can sign your CAMS L2S form anytime - so you can either come to the club launch on the 12th and I'll have forms there or else I can even do it on the day.

Snowman, in your travels before tomorrow night, will you have a chance to swing by ICE? I think i have left the keys to the PI unit in my car and i need to post them back. If you can ill ring the guys and see if they are in the car, (blue rope and two keys)

Whats the new beast? More the merrier. The RB20 lives so we will get to test my Sandown theory!?!?!?!?!

Spoke to mechanics today and it looks like my engine woes are sorted, and i wont be needing to spend a fortune on a new engine so can afford to get them to bolt it in.

Only it looks like friends are coming down from Sydney on the 17th, so may only be able to make one of the PI days, perhaps neither. Plus i dont want to rush everything like i did last time... perhaps i should be patient and wait til October and Sandown.

Thanks for the info on the boot Emre. Went to Nissan FTG and got it ordered same day pickup. $18.20 and it slides over the shaft quite easily with just a little lube. Turns out I lost 0.5 of a litre of redline lightweight fluro-blue gold.

I might come down for a bit tomorrow night. Not going to SYD now till Thu.

Oh and .....ah... Happy Birthday AdzMax.....

It's an ex-Signal RH9 GTR from Japan, a total animal.

It needs a bit of sorting out but the owner is keen on a circuit setup.

Good luck with the RB20 dude, are you just swapping motors...?

You are welcomed dude. Funnily enough, that's where I bought mine from 3 years ago and from memory, it was exactly the same price.

No more stench of hot gear oil in the cabin.:D

Yeh another std RB20 is going in...

Is it a 15yr import? Sounds way cool but i take it will be a strict track car or the rego thing of modded cars is sorted by takin git back to std?

God damn - another Troy! And another R34 GTR V Spec! And a crazy one at that!

We are going to have a fair presence at some track days coming up.

And I'm going to have to pull our finger out - or else I'm going to need some more boost! LOL. Emre will have semi's, Troy (ylwgtr2) already has them, RedR32's car is nuts (Ross), and Gerald will have his 32 in action by next year! It could be worse though - I could be running an RB20! :rofl:

Alot of Ross's stuff is coming off. Apparently a T88 isn't that good around Winton. :D But the base foundation of the car is awesome. But it remains to be seen if it can actually be driven by an accountant.

Is it a 15yr import?

Yeah... It is.

T88 to have Ben's magic touch, FCon makes way for a Motec etc.

Snowy,

You are holding your own pretty well so far mate, I doubt that will change with more powerful cars around you.

My aim is to keep up with you. If i can't, I will be playing at the back of the field on my own. :rofl:

    • 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...
