I hear Paul can get a good deal on those!!

Might I suggest that the scheming of western salon-ness might begin on the cruise on the 11th?

Spoke to my associate from Silvia WA last night. theyre putting 15 cars in.

15?!?!?! jeezus.. we should get together a large contingent then i suggest... need some r34s too... :D

my mum says shes sending me over to an island or somewhere out of aus for my wedding so she doesnt have to invite my dads family *meow*

Well you can definately go holiday mode - barefoot in shorts and tank top in midland gate just like the locals.

hmmm they are suppose to be quieter when they are hot not louder i thought - yeah me and my mechanic went doing mini burnouts to try to get them hot enough to stop squeeling - didnt work but had fun :D

koh sumoi - i was suppose to go there haha with a friend because he gets flown over there by his fathers company to spend time with them - dad works on an offshore oil rig. But i kinda started going out with a guy and that was the end of that idea.

15 cars is alot, I don't think we need to over do it, beside, most of those Silvias are plain and boring looking:D

See'ya:burnout:

true.. :D

i'm sure 8 or so lines next to each other will cause a decent stir... :(

    • 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...
