Hi all, it's been ages since I've been on this forum. Thought I'd jump on again and say hi to everyone.

Update is that the line still hasn't been on the track, but rather sat in a garage for months. Same month I got it I drove my Z into a gutter, so the next few months were spent funneling money into repairs, and then the drift events were largely over for the year. Plus of course, I'm a slack bastard.

I've replaced the fuel pump with a Bosch 040, and now it doesn't stall :blink: . Diff's making a grinding noise but I'm taking it to Ed next week to have it looked at and probably welded (Also :( ) Also, neon has been removed.

And next Saturday there's a drift practice day at Oran Park, which I'm all paid up for. So the Skyrine might finally make it Australian* drift debut (*I imagine it was strapped/drifted while in Japan).

Anyway, I'd like to meet up with you all at some stage to say g'day in person and get to know the ACT line community. That is of course assuming your all happy for me to bring along my Falcon ute to public gatherings - line's still track-only.

Cheers

Ben

Sorry for the late reply. There were heaps of people there, the day was full.

Next event is a drift/grip day at Wakefield this Saturday. Feel free to come along and maybe take your car on the track??? General and registration info here: Clicky

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

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

      Starting again

      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?
