10/01/2003 Cruise pic post & chat thread


Recommended Posts

Thought I would start a new thread to post your pics and discuss last nights cruise, as the one in events is getting pretty long now.

Had a good time and it was nice to see some sweet cars. Liked the WRC style wrx but I think it was more show than go, also the mines GTR was sweet.

Had a fun time cruising down with a few 33's around... Unfortunately didnt really get to meet anyone as there were way to many people to even guess at who was who.

As mentioned in the other thread, it was interesting coming back down and watching that really tight hair pin up arthurs seat. As mentioned, leewah hammered the corner and put on a real show for us. A lot of people seemed to come into to fast and then got stuck looking for a gear. Counted 4 times when a honda came through and almost caused a pile up... very very close on one occasion.

I forgot to take my camera :P but took a photo of my car in the arvo b4 i left. So if you see a black 33 with 32 wheels, come and say hi :D

yep thats my b*tch, VTEC 92. Compared to the mad ass Skylines there last night shes a POS, but hey what can you do? I am proud to say I paid for her all by myself and same with the mods

phheewwww, I thought you guys were talking about me. I am sure as hell that I did not cause a pile up. Good cruise, had a good time to catch up with my friends, and seeing Amber again :D

Oh by the way, I am the owner of the black Integra :D

Thanks James, Amber and other organisers :P

Also another thing i dont think the cops at brighten were there to get us, i think they were on there way to setting up the boose bus down the road lol and it made it look so dodgy u guys all driving off, also good to put some names to faces im spewin i left early but oh well next time

i liked that little group that we were in. a couple of civics, tegs, skylines, supras and that widebody s13. that kit looks nice! :D the run at the traffic lights with the supra and the r34 gtt was sweet! and when we got back into town, the line up of cars at the traffic lights tops it off :P

yeah we went all the way but, cause we went to maccas at frankston me and all of my mates (the mines GTR, flared guard silvia) came as everyone was leaving arthurs seat. we actually didn't even stop we just continued and we sloted almost behind the black Supra which i think was at the front of the pack. had quite a few runs with the front guys. it was definetly good.:P

    • 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...
