Yep I will be back late tomorrow night...

The training has been pretty cool... the funny thing is though is that the training is for a specific piece of equipment that we only have in Melbourne and Sydney.

So basically I do the training for the equipment then go back to Perth and never use it :(

Yeah for sure... Free trip.... Free hotel ..... A Bit of a wander around a new city.... A week off work ( Well training is a bit of a holiday :( )

Hehe I have only seen Mel when she's drunk and when she's hung over ... Both ways she is funny :P

Ken, Just incase you needed some advice and wanted to talk to me:p

I should be sorted by early next week:D

The quick engine out and back in on the R has got bigger than ben hur.

The Albany w/end competition could be in jeopardy atm.

Bugga !!

Cheers

Ken

Nope, bailed the car to CRed due to a lack of time and Lumpy owes me a favour.

Pulled the engine out and has too much blowby.

Am sourcing the forgies , metal h/gasket etc as we speak. I think this thing is gonna be a rocket ship when finished and will look cool with the blue rocker , polished trust pipes yada yada..

Cheers

Ken

Ken, It would suck if your not going, but we will anyway, we have other accomodation already booked:D

No will still go but may have to find a backup plan if the engine is not back in time. Has to be machined etc , assembled and run in.

Can see me running it in by driving to Albany.

Lumpy won't let me have the Autronics on till the engines bedded.

Untrust worthy bastard.:(

Cheers

Ken

All it takes is pre planning .... just work out how long you will be gone then work out how much higher than 100ppd you need to not post in the uk and have the average to drop to the 100ppd and then get to that point before you go :(

I hope that made sense.... I am now hell tired and am going to bed... it is 1.15 and I will have to be up around 7.00am... so thats just about it for me.....

I will chat with you again on Monday hopefully :P

Bye bye

Mmm, sounds good Ken. Blowby from ring-lands? A bit of money to spend, but it should be able to withstand the extra boost from the 581's:D

Yea , I had my suspicions when it popped the dipstick out once.

It's not like I thrash it around a race track or nuthin...

Cheers

Ken

    • 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.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
