thats why ive got the sticker "no its not my boyfriends on the back" a. its a conversation starter with cute guys driving ZX's and b. i find when its in words dikheads find it easier to comprehend - whats that movie where he goes "dont make me tap the sign" haha its a bit like that - but everyone can see by the way its done up that its definately not my parents besides they drive around in ol fuddy duddy HSV's although they will steal mine every chance they get - um lauren ive just got to go and um er get your aircon checked out in um mandurah - we live in perth why cant u do it in perth - well um errr. hahah sooo obvious!!!

mmm its weird with guys and me. Like i hung around a few guys when i went for a holiday to QLD and they are liek and that Sssshhh sound the cars make when they go by "im like yeah thats a BOV" and i would just constantly talk about cars and they would try to keep up but in the end they're like actually i dont really know anything much about cars - so i would try to talk about something else but its sooo hard because i was really homesick for my car at the time seeing all these nice imports driving around and im "awww at home i own one of those" Its just weird because in this forum i know nothing compared to u guys but to the average guy i know too much soooo i dont know!! haha

later adrian

Yeah its sooo fustrating when you work so hard to have and maintain what u've got and some slack barsted decides to ruin it for u.

Yeah blacks a prick - gotta get out there and scrub mine tommorrow actually - its looking a lvoely shade of gunmetal grey at the moment haha with the occasional dob of bird shit. haha I bought mine with a scratch done the side - too long not to be delbirate but its thinner than a key.

badges agghhh! What do they do with them is what i want to know - ooooh ive got a skyline badge - hmmm yeah great mate! Who the hell does it impress enough for them to take the time to rip one off the back of a car!

i actually need a new GTST one for the back even though its a sticker its faded badly so if anyone knows where i can grab one!!

haha yeah it takes a bit of adjusting too being home on a friday night - but im even more depressed being home on a saturday night myself!! hmm actually it may be the 5 beers or the fact the folks have gone out i dont know but im actually finding it not too bad being home tonight - ive had a stressful past week make it an early night tonight then celebrate tommorrow night maybe.

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