no havent been to steves i have heaps of mates that go there and usually on a thurs morning ive got a couple of messages on my phone - u at steves? u at steves? been meaning to go there!!

Micko - what training at Mc's are we going to do because there was talk of having some license blahblahblah etc etc etc - what training are they doing and do we get to use our own vehicles - because im more interested in learning how to thrash my own car - ive thrashed too many toyotas celicas and bathtubs (mr2's) already when i worked at toyota and neither impressed - more would like advance driver training for the car i already drive. also price?

Yeah well i may go one day 33Spec2!

weekdays i dont normally go out on weekdays - to tell ya the truth i find northbridge bad enough on weekends - the guys are like pirhanas - and i dont mean to sound up myself but i get sick of lame guys approaching me all the time in the hope to get laid. Plus theres a guy that usually goes to Steve on wednesdays and id rather not bump into him.

$185 dollars is an awful lot of money to get someone to teach me how to drive my own car - i can do that thru my own mistakes. When is it - if its like a month or so away count me in - i can afford it by that time. Who else is going? the fact i get taught in my own car is a major plus - just need a date to make my discision and any requirements like helmets etc. Also the promise that my baby wont get marked by any of those nasty witches hats.

bathtub is as slow as Joe - in fact why people want to buy new MR2's is way over my head - slow as mate - nothing special at all - hot as all hell in summer - in fact i used to prefer taking a plain jane corolla anywhere than an MR2 - all of us did it used to be a fight of who we could offload the MR2 too!!

Trust me i bump into so many ppl id rather not there but really who cares im always wit my friends so i make an excuse not 2 talk 2 em like when i went this week some ppl were shouting out my name and i was like who the hell are they are they talking to me? so i went up 2 em and they were like do u remember us? Oh sh*t i was thinking i hav no clue so i just said Fark no and theywere ppl i went 2 primary school wit! how embarrassing i hate running into ppl!

33Spec2 - yeah bumping into people i would rahter not see is one thing - i can handle that. But this guy - its a long drawn out story that started when i was 14 and to ths day he's still messing with my heart - i just would rather not. Trust me im not sentimental over anyone - except this guy - it just farks with my head too much.

Ok 29th should be able to afford it by then suspension will be done, car tuned its just a matter of money left over after all that - but at the moment its pretty positive - so book it - if at the last minute i cant come im sure i'll get someone to fill my place.

    • 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...
