Spotted yesterday: Grey s1(?) leaving Carrara markets at about 1pm: tried to catch up in traffic for about 6 km, and got cut off at Ashmore Rd lights by an idiot in a Rav4 (thanks, whoever you are: idiot!), so never got to wave/toot etc...

ive seen quite a few lately... a silver m35 parked on the street at bondi beach... a black m35 on friday afternoon on that road that fitness first and subway is on in penrith... and the other day me and the missus just sat down at a restaurant for a feed in penrith, there was a group of girls leaving right next to us and one of them came over and told me that she owned a stagea aswell... we had a good ole chat for a few minutes she told me how happy she was with the car and how they've got everything... was good to bump into another stagea owner in a random places...

were the girls hot? and did you take pics of them?

that stagea might have been mine at bondi beach. i was there friday night..........

no pics sorry boys... them 35s are getting pretty popular

Spotted Duncan's car this afternoon in Castle Hill.
Yeah also spotted Duncan's white one at hills motorsport

right....so tell me it was on the hoist and they were just finishing up dropping the new motor in....

and at yellow one near ISIS, plates were "DL 8896" i think?

that would ms wolv (plates are close enough and she works over that way)

spotted rb26stagea at 4wd performance today

FINALLY!!! I got spotted legitimately! I have waited so long! I spend a fair amount of time there: Ben is a good mech... I was playing musical cars today, where were you?

I was cruising around today, and believe I spotted Chook on Nerang-Southport Rd: waved, but was with GreenGhost in the work truck, so not sure if he knew it was him I was waving at.

    • 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...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
