I'll be there - hoping to lower my PB to a mid 13 (or thereabouts) from the 13.9 I did a couple of weeks ago before the car was tuned. Traction will be the issue though - damm Falkens! :)

It would be good to get a heap of Skylines out there on the night and hopefully the weather is dry and cool(ish) - looking forward to it.

I will be spectating.

Yeah, the radar looked ok mid morning, but it's not looking so promising now...there's rain areas popping up everywhere :rofl:

I'll check it again in an hour's time, but if it's not looking any better, I'll probably give it a miss and look to get out there next week instead.

Outdoor temp here is 22.4c

This time the last 3 meetings its been up around 28c which means hopefully it will be under 20c by the time racing starts :rofl::)

Now all I have to do is workout a way to get my jack/wheels there :rofl:

Sorry guys, I'm out - the radar is showing a heap of showers heading towards Penrith and I'm guessing that it'll probably continue along to WSID as well which is pretty annoying. I was keen to run tonight, but I don't want to rock up to get only 1 or 2 runs (if that) because of the rain. I'll definately be there next week though...

Good luck ben if you still decide to go tonight :rofl:

    • 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...
