I bought mine in April this year...

The reason i have not put a month figure is because i have only really had it for half that time as its in and out of workshops everywhere getting it ready for next years Jambo...

ATM my car is in a Driftking @ Aspley (has been there for 3 weeks now) NOT HAPPY JAN... I have good things to say about their work... Just that it takes so god damn long... (and he cant stick to a quote the price has risen over 1 grand)

Hey Red Sky II, I registered my Spec II Yesterday. Took me from 7:30 in the morning when they open to 4:20 in the afternoon to get it done, fantastic. I would like to say thank you very &*(@$*&% much to the boyz at east perth licencing. DONT GO THERE if the car has any mods. They ran me around all day because of an aftermarket front bar and round clear front indicators. If its stock then no worries. Good luck

Mine got knocked back yesterday afternoon at Welshpool due to a supposed hairline fracture in the front of the muffler and they wanted some disconnected, non-functioning aftermarket foglamps removed. Gotta try again on Monday now.

Stupid thing is that in the boot or hidden elsewhere were the mods that were removed for compliance and registration (eg turbo timer, Air Flow meter, strut brace, racing pedals, etc, Blitz BOV). What do they think I am going to do with them once registered - leave them in the boot !!!

thats hopeless hey, They didnt even get to the boot of mine.

He cheked everything that they normally do, like suspension etc, lighting , horn, wipers ....etc and then went underneath and looked around, nothing to report there because the car is dead stock except for the front bar, thats it. Then as he was walking in to go do my paperwork he decided maybe he should scrutinise the front bar alittle more.

I hope that they dont give you any more crap. its easier to rock up to a carline muffler centre and just get them to give you a report to say that the muffler etc is fine and not leaking and that should be kewl. it seems to me that it is all about liability. as long as someone else is willing to say it is okay and put their name to it then they are happy with that.

what a bunch of Kn*bs

    • 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...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
