I have got a medical and fitness evaluation for a job tomorrow arvo hence I can make work Wed. night:rolleyes: (thats what I'm telling work anyway)

So depending on how knackered I am and whether I can be bothered (I have more physical testing on Thursday so I might need to catch up on sleep) on the night I might head on down to the Plex.

Is anyone else planning on goin?

If so theres a 50/50 chance I'll be down there fangin the R, come up for a chat, 'cause unfortunately haven't been in the loop since the last wed. night drags I organised ages ago.

Cheers,

Ryan.

I wouldn't be asking for tips off me :(

I'm a follower of the "Buy a GTR and rev it till 7 or so, load up the drivetrain then jump off the clutch and change gears as fast as you can until you hit the line"

Not very scientific, difficult or perhaps even intelligent but it works for me, but then again I still haven't cracked a 12:D

I'm gonna head down. Just had the car tuned up so with any luck i'll pull a high 13.

Gtst vspec, you should head down to race. Your doin what I did, the whole time your watching your wishing you were raceing.

Why do you need to watch first??

The only reason I did is cause I had no helmet.

I'll save ya some time, holdens pull 13's-14's, most skylines pull 14's, some do 13's, gtr's do 12's, wrx's pull 14's, mazdas do 11's-14's.

And fords, ha ha, fords.

Thanks for the tip Hicks,

I could probably get a helmet by tommorow but I'm working till about 7:30, so I didn't want to give it a half hearted effort. The following Wednesday I will be prepared.

Hope to see you down there though.

See'ya:burnout:

I went down and saw a few runs from Hicks, Macka and adam32 ( I think :)

By the looks of it Hicks got into high 13's one run at 13.8 .. I think and the rest were low/mid 14's.

Macka had some sweet runs with a nice 13.06 and 13.07 and some 15.something run..

**** remember anymore :)

There was a sick speedworks 200sx but dropped a bit of white smoke on it's last run (blown turbo?).

Also saw a GTiR up against a S13 which was beating it up until half track when it basically slowed to a crawl to never come out again :)

Was a pretty good night with a all-holden burnout pad at the end.

No soarers this week, suprise suprise.

That's my recap :D

Well It seems Macka is breathing down the necks of the GTR boys and girls now with flat 13's. Thats where I'd like to be next time round. Might be a bit harder for me without that Mack-tastic power :)

A little birdy told me the track was 'treated' reasonably tonight, something I think they should do more of since more street cars are turning up to race.

Hicks, did you get that 13.8 you were chasing?

Adam32 how did you go with the boost over 8psi?

Well done everyone, seem's like (almost) everyone came back happy.

Hicks, what was your 60' like? Did you end up running on standard rear rims?

Macka, what was your terminal speed like? Must have been pretty good with a 12.98 1/4 and only a 2.25 60'.

adam 32, sorry to hear... give us details once you recover.

as far as i can tell...

on my first run with soft suspension, as i changed into 2nd the centre muffler (which is very low to the ground) bounced up and smashed into the diff. there is now a considerable oil leak and im assuming power wasnt being transferred through the diff and thus the shitty time of 14.4

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      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!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      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...
