Ken - is there another course running??

Liz , there are courses up there all the time but depends on how many people.

Some are only $60 but lots of people.

This was $185 but only 5 people and lots of track time including instructor with you in the car.

Cheers

Ken

Scared of what?

It's an invincible Skyline and hasn't yours got an airbag?

I had two in mine but the Mother in law and wife don't come along any more..

Cheers

Ken

Of crashing. Yeah it has an airbag - but when I hear a crash on the TV - I am pyshically sick, if I come up a bit quick to another car all I see is the accident. If I am driving and its stressful - like heavy rain or something I can;t breath properly. I never used to be like this - i was confident before

Hey aiden... nah I think I might have broken something :D I can still move all my toes but it still hurts a fair bit, even when I took a pandol forte lastight... just wait and see I guess, give it a couple of days. My wife freaks out as soon as I plant my foot and the turbo spools, so I drive like a nanna when she's in the car :)

Yes I am Ken :) someones gotta keep u boys in line :)

Hey Liz do u ever have girls rearrange your clothing in the ladies loos - i dont know whther its just because im an untidy dresser or what but hell i keep getting these chicks trying to straightenup my clothing and suggesting the type of bra i should wear with a top :D

Oh all saw a girl i used to work with - she was sooo happy to see me - she was threatening to bash my face in 3 years ago!!

Don't get that in the guys toilets.

Maybe I should start frequenting the Ladies ones instead.:)

Cheers

Ken

Nah my wife refuses to drive my car... I wouldnt let her anyway :D she'd crash it :) Sneeza just drive like a granny in the wet... I do, I do the speed limit, I just dont floor it at all just let it rev gently to 3000rpm and then change gears. If you drive sensibly in the wet the turbo wont spool up and you wont have any issues :)

    • 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...
