White 32... sorry for the delay mate, have been a bit busy with other things. I'm actually on 4 weeks' leave at the moment so I won't be back in Toowoomba until early April, but yeah, we should definitely hook up.

As for the skidpan day, I now have my wheel bearings so it should all be sweet. They're not in yet but all I need now is the time/motivation to do it. One thing I did notice... the front wheel hubs look a lot like a front wheel drive setup, but with a bolt where the front driveshafts would normally go... I wonder how easy it would be to put the GTS4/GTR bits in, given that I need a new gearbox anyway, and the looms and floorpans are the same? Hmm...

hey revhead...

i hear that you can put all the GTS-4 running gear into a gts-t

a mate was really keen to do it up here... he said that it was going to be simple ... but I didn't believe him.... and he still hasn't got around to doing it.... but yeah... he was talking to a couple of the local wrecking yards around brissy and thought he could get away with it for about $4000....

it's worth looking into if you really want one... because while you've got it apart you can do a few mods while your there.... and atleast you know that if you do it yourself it's been done right.... when I got my car over from japan they told me that it had been regularly serviced blah blah blah..... however as I do all my own mechenical mods I had my sump off and suprise suprise it didn't look like it had had one service let alone regular services... I think the oil was growing!!!!

but yeah... while you got it apart you can do the clutch and rebuild the box while your at it.... it's not as hard as everyone makes out rebuilding manuals to be.... just be neat and lay everything out in order... so it goes back together.... just then you know it's been done once and done properly....

would make an interesting build story....

it'd be interesting to see how common a build it would be if everyone found out that it was actually a straight forward swap??

hmmmm I don't think my piggy bank will permit...

Lol I do have a few things limiting my ability to try it at the moment - money, and an uncertain future (might be moving to Japan for a year or two, might not be) mainly. But it would be very interesting to find out about... might make some enquiries for my own interest.

yeah... it is definatly worth looking into... atleast so someone can say that they did the research and can point someone wanting to do the hard yards in the right direction....

my mate that had that big idea for his 32 just threw it out the window... he just bought a complete RB30 with 25 head to slip into the place of the tired RB20.... it should be awsome... it has all the bits... like forged pistons and cams.... big turbo.... could run 11's or 10's well tuned.... it's good to see that there is still some crazy young (and old) australians giving this import stuff a good go....

anyway.... I actually came to this thread to see if anyone had anymore info on the Skid pan day....

come on I am desperate for some dorift.... all us Central Queensland Drift Nuts are going ..... well.... nuts....

Slip get back to us....

or I guess we'll see you down at the sprints and drift day at QLD raceway on the 28th and 30th....

see you all then....

Reveived email back from ted, saying that its close......

It will happen, but I'm not on the edge of my seat anymore, being there for so long has gotten uncomfortable. Unfortunately we all have to wait on other people to do their job, which sucks, but hey, thats life.

Dorift will come :) Have faith.

thanks for keeping it moving slip....

we are still keen to come down and thrash our cars....

however seeing that there was a small group of us that came to the SR20 Day on the 30th... we are super keen for that too....

keep us posted....

I think the whole Garage Spank Krew should just up and move to Brissy....

Success!!!

The day is a goer, I just got the green light today.

Sunday 4th May. Full day. 4hrs Skidpan, then a catered lunch (sandwiches, cheese, fruit etc) then 4hrs on the LVMA.

16 people.

$150 each - includes lunch.

Requirements of the vehicle

.Registered

.Roadworthy (no shitboxes, if your exhaust is loud or you have a MOMO steering wheel thats fine)

Requirements of the drivers

.Licenced

I will create a new official thread soon with bank details etc, but I just want some initial feedback on the 4th may date.

So far 4 of the 16 spots are already filled!

    • 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...
