Hypothetically:- If it takes you 500 laps to put out a good lap and I go and do the same lap in under five laps who is the better driver? I know who i'd hire as my pofessional race car driver.

I'd say that i'm a natural at it, and your 500 lap driver would probably only be able to put out 1 out of 50 hot laps in his first bathurst, and therefore wouldn't be compedative. But your right, at the end of the day we can both go just as fast round the same track if we both went to a sprint day.

Personally I think this Pyramind thing is only a bit of fun but it seems one of us is taking it a little bit to serious. To the gentleman that send me the Mod message,,,I don't think this thread is discriminating,,,enjoy posting your objections,,,I know I'll love reading them. Just keep in mind I have done or helped in almost every form of motor sport. Rallying would be the only one I haven't touched,because I don't like fixing cars in the mud.

lol the funny thing is all the people at the top of such a pyramid started out at the bottom and are now in denial they were ever at such a low state.

the drifting thing is really funny.

ahhh i remember when i was 5 and thought any car with a spoiler was cool... then i remember when i hated spoilers and my taste was too sophistcated for them. now i have reached the compromise of a factory rear lip.

btw atm im probably in the hills spirited drive whilst not cutting the line of the lane section of the pyramid.. waiting to progress to the track day stage

Missing 'the true spectator' from the pyramid.

He sits at the top using us as his entertainment, paying to see us 1&2) get busted by the cops. 3,4,5,6) crash or chuck a tantrum at the side of the road while another competitor tries to runs us over.

    • 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.
