All i wanted was 6,500 ova 4 years. What im going to do is get a really good friend of the family that has known me my whole life and lived with me for some of that to garantee the loan for me. She owns a few houses and has worked for the commonwelth back for a about 9 years untill she had her little boy. Her hubby works on the rigs, so they have a nice income coming in. That should work. And im going to wait 2 to 3 months and show a good savings pattern. Then i should get it. If not im going to hit my rich aunti and uncle for a loan.

banks are bastards but there's this place that watches them. i've forgotten who but they gave me a nasty phone call a year or so ago when i applied for three loans from three lenders in one afternoon. i really wanted the car and i wasn't trying to be smart either. just thought if i got rejected i'd have backup etc. but insted i got denied a loan for 6 months!. it sucked. i really wanted the car and my parents are tight as.

hope this saves someone

;)

and the car i wanted was brought by some chump younger than me whos parents gave him the money. i heard since that he lost his license for doing stupid speeds in a sixty zone and was recently involved in a major crash. shame because it was a SWEET car! but now it's gone and he is probably pushing my insurance rates up! ;)

kyles - keep trying - your not asking for a huge amount of money - ive seen people that have had financial difficulties in the past ask for $20,000 and have it approved. Cant believe they knocked you back for that amount!!

commonwealth approved a loan for me for $4000. I didnt end up going thru with it cos the folks lent me the money so im currently paying them off. I only earned 19K a year at the time (thankfully now i earn a lot more) and that was over 3 years. Your only asking for $2,500 extra not that much - thats my credit card limit. Cant understand why they wont give it to you!

    • 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.
