no engineer - no technology - no go fast gtr... :)

Hoy , don't cut my post to suit yourself !:)

In context with the next line

Making it stay up is a little harder without correct design

is an acknowledgement that engineers are needed.

What the guts of this little post session is that we all need each other but young people these days think they all need a degree in something when a lot of them will never get a job in that field anyway.

Sometimes if you ain't got , you can still earn a good living by manual means.

Alex u ever see a old school 300ZX around with the plates Nizmo around those parts - one of my friends lives in pickering brook and i used spend a lot of time in the ZX up in kalamunda but now my friends have either got their licenses or moved back down to flatland etc i dont take the line up their often.

Um left school at the end of 98 beginning of 99. I was suppose to be in the class of 2000. Im 19 going on 20 in may.

true - sorry for that but that first line was begging.. :) no hard feelings at all.. i think alot of the people building the things around us.. and it does take an art.. but again, it's like anything - there's a few good ones who carry the rest of the mediocre.. i wouldn't go glamorising some guy who can weld stuff or use a spanner..

i agree with you that both professionals and trades need each other.. not sure if i agree with what you say about people not getting jobs in their fields - unless you're talking about arts degrees... sorry - got a pet hate of those "do my 5 years of study for my degree to get nowhere" people.. no offense meant to any of you who may be this type of person.. :)

    • 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...
