haha i bet you spend it on ya car anyway :)

Guys with cars n houses never spend any money on their house unless its neccessary!

i dunno hey, i was even thinking of selling the 180 and not even bothering with modified cars any more... ha wonder how long that would last!

but.. on that note i want my house to look as good as possible too..

Morning Snyps

Wot y'all up to?

Richie - whining coming from back of car under acceleration usually means ur diff is on its way out

it doesnt whine below 120 tho... i dunno.. more money...

my car had the sopiler removed and then the holes welded up and painted... got to take it back tho cause the wanker didnt match the colour properly...

i like that air freshener that smells like new car!

nothing going on today, i think that my day is getting worse. i was thinking that it miht be the diff but i was hoping that it might just be a wheel bearing.

once you work in a caryard for 3 years - your over the new car smell haha.

hey Ross :)

My car still vibrates the wheel badly at 130km an hour!! (yes wheels have been balnced and aligned etc) its funny cos you'll let it drop back to 128 and it'll stop but as soon as it hits 130km the left front wheel starts vibrating first ..... then push it to 135km/hr and they all start joining in :)

thats no good!!

i wouldnt have a clue what that could be, maye your rotors are a little warped?

i know where i might have seen your car before, like before you had it... i am pretty sure that when i used to live in east freo the car used to visit next door to where i lived.

if my rotors were warped wouldnt they said something to me when they took them off and were machining them etc ?

possibly Richie .... but my cars a bit like a relationship - you like to live under the illusion that they havent had any lovers before you :)

yeah - thats what we thought mine were ..... my tyres had the worst eggs in them co si drove around for so long with phucked shockies .... so about a month ago i got new tyres :) .... so they are definately better!! But still cant get rid of the 130+ vibration .... which is no good .... i guess it keeps me on the good side of the law but still ruins fun cos my car steering wheel starts going crazy and you feel like you aint got as much control as you should over the car - so i usually back off once i hit that.

    • 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.
    • 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.
