Come and drink with whatsisname to help him forget he is another yr older


Recommended Posts

Yes folks, I'm almost another year older! So I thought I'd invite those that know me (and can put up with my crap) along to help me celebrate getting older and more forgetful.

I'm past my 30's, but stuffed if I can remember "exactly" how old I am... so let's just call it my second 21st :)

Where - The Bombay Bicycle Club

When - "Next weekend!!!" ... Saturday 20th Nov 04 @ 7.30pm (or 1930hrs for those military types) *My b'day is actually the next day (21st - funnily enough) so if we stay out long enough it all works out lovely! How ghey did that sound! haha.

Apologies for the late notice everyone! If you can't make it, that's ok... I'll understand. And I'll make sure to take you off my Xmas card list hahaha.

To Matt (and others)

I'm sorry Sue and i will be unable to attend the B.B.C. to celebebrate your birthday next sat. nite as i'm already booked to do the derny racing at the velodrome for the welcome home "athens" nite.Dont worry too much 'bout the thirties i cant even remember them and even the forties are getting haysy-but that what comes with getting wiser(i didn't mention older!

Have a great birthday,celebrate and all be safe!!!!

SKYLINE (Kym).....

Aw, C'mon Matt, you're not THAT old! (not 2x21=42 anyway)

Wife's family in town this weekend, so I may just need an escape!

Thanks for the kind words guys :P

No prob's Tim, Matt, Kym, Joel and anyone else who would come but can't. It was one of those last mintue notice kind of things anyway... so there's no expectations :D

Yep guys, partners are most welcome! I've got a few other friends and their partners coming so the more the merrier... be it for a few drinks, or many :D

Yeah true Will... and I act like a 16yr old most of the time hahaha.

Thanks Stu and Hip :)

Cool Andrew! We'll see you two there then.

Hope John and yourself have a good one in Melb Erica :rant: You're gonna miss the Classic Adelaide! Bummer dudette :(

Talking of Classic Adelaide (or is it the other way around?) a few of us are keen to go so we should tee something up. Anyone keen?

G'day Matt,

Ooooowaaa..... who's the Birthday Boy!!

The 20th just so happens to be my 1st wedding anniversary :inlove: and we've booked in at Enzo's Italian restaurant for dinner that night....bugger, I even suggested we book the BBC for our big night but we decided otherwise (Enzo's is one of our favourite places)!!

I'd love to help you celebrate your big day :bananaman but we'll have to see how things pan out on the night, so I won't go making any rash promises I can't keep. I mean.....you're just down the road and around the corner!!

If we don't make it, have a great night and I look forward to catching up another time.

Cheers :) ,

Mike

G'day Mike,

Thanks mate :P All the best to you both on your 1st wedding anniversary! I hope you and your wife have a great night at Enzo's! No pressure to make it down for a drink either mate... just make sure you both have a fantastic night.

    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok? Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • 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...
