on the basis that you didn't die, AND don't have insurance

you are a dickhead

haven't seen those crashes on the news recently?

maybve u should post this in the melb section.

im assume ur the biggest **** head ever (GTS_DUY).... i do have insurance but 3 rd party and u dont even know the whole story or what the damage is

so am i asking for u for what ou think about me..NO

and yes my friend is paying for it hes a good friend of mine hes doing all the organising to get ma car fix as possible already got the money lined up to pay for repair.. but im trying to help him out buy finding the best place possible to get my car fixed. so id rather some constructive information please.

the main problem is probarly fixing the chasis theres minmal body damage but he gutterd the car and bent the rear wheel.

do you own a 33 or a 32? or a 34?

if its a 33/32, it might be more worthwhile to sell the car as a wreck, and get your mate to pay you the amount of money required for a repair or at least the difference btw the mkt value of the car less scrap value. Reason being- given the high cost of repairs here in aussie, the final amount might be more than what u initially paid for the car.

i.e cost of r32 - 12k

cost of repair - 8k

value of wreck(half cut) - 4k

might as well write it off and get ur mate to pay you. U can then go look for another car then. After all....bent chassis...even when repaired, might not be as good as new, and u'd have problem selling your car in the future cos pple dont like buying bent cars.

Guys, why are you being so harsh for?, he wasnt even the one driving. Just how fast did he take the turn? why wernt you driving?

he was taking the corner at around 40-45 km.. but as we were coming out of the long turn he hit full boost and then laters to rear end kicked out. and laters.

oh yeh it was a r33 gts-t 1994

    • 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.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
