Don't you hate that! Everytime ya think the cars fixed something else brakes. Trust me, the Corolla wrecked the starter motor. While at the sparkies they inform me the alternator is also had it. Quoted $360 to fix it so I said forget it I will pick it up. Dad ended up getting someone to fix it for me WAAAYYY cheaper. The battery was also stuffed, the carby was so had it that it wouldn't idle (now it has fuel injection) and the brake lights occasionally get stuck on so you have to jump start it next time you drive it. Had a lot of fun with it in the 6 months I have owned it hay!

lucky girl! wish i had days off haha.

I know what u mean by things going wrong with the car one after the other - could write u a page long list with the ZX!!

Will book my car in for service today - but ive been saying that for the past month!!

I have to pay it off or something first. Techinally I do own it (in my name) but Mum and Dad paid for it so to do the right thing, I have still got it, but they wonder why I wanna drive the VN more?:crazy: I am saving for a new R31 at this point though.

I am part time Niz, downfall, I earn part time wages.

Heyas All... Good morning!

Well today is my last day here at work so I might not be on the forums for a bit, maybe 2 weeks or so till I get a nice internet connection.... If anybody needs anything important please gimme a call on the mobile or call me at Osbourne Park Zest Health Club :-)

Take care and hopefully will be chatting with you guys really soon :-)

I owe Mum like $2500 for my car and have paid of, ohh, let me see, about $60! I think I might save up instead of pay that off, once I have saved up enough then I will buy a new one and give them the Rolla back. More enthusiastic that way. I am thinking of buying a really neat un'licenced R31 (if I can find one) and do it up and licence it myself. Might work out cheaper that way.

Hi 25GTT

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