LOL @ Brett - nice cover :)

Once upon a time there was a Skyline in the small town of Perthania ......

And they chopped the commordore and the imports all ived happily ever after .....

yeah i know but i hate the thought they they go away thinking - i beat a Skyline - when you werent even trying - so i just chop them so there is no doub tin their minds that they didn twin :)

yeah but i just do it cos i get a kick out of it ..... i dont need to justify it to myself :) thing is compared to you guys im slow but theres not much that has taken me on the streets that i cant chop - i just get crap cars that want to be idiots like Hyundai Accents with gay drift wings and rollaboyz stickers haha and the miodified exhaust that sounded more like a constipated bee than a growl .... i just cant help myself and even when theres nothing to chop just find it fun to see how fast i can get off the line when the lights turn green - how fast i can take on that roundabout haha ...... try and beat my best time home .... just in my blood or something i guess :)

don't mean to drop in on you WA ppl, but Nizmo, I couldn't agree with you more, I just want to teach 'em all a lesson, and when it come to that split second when I decide if its worth it or not, I just can't help myself.

"try and beat my best time home " me too :)

we need 34 GTR's so we can plug the car into the lapptop to compare our drive home each night:)

LOL @ Nizmans laptop idea haha we'll all measure out the exact starting line so we hall have the same distance to our house :)

actually route home is pretty cool - once gget outta traffic .... few straights .... few windies .....few little kids to run over :)

haha at Docile - yeah once upon a time i used to get those too :)

Things are sweet but ive been outside for lunch and walking back to work something blew inot my eye and now its given me a headache :) and i have a feeling its still in there :)

I hate this weather - time to go where its sunny!!!

WHAT?? what do you do?

haha i dont call 3.5 hours left as nearly finished :)

um going to have beer o'clock drinks tonight with a mate

saturday going to get my hair cut and do shopping and pay *gulp* insurance at night im not sure yet catching up with paul and aidwin and whoever else

sunday is either clean the car day or catch up with mates day (concidentally same one bought me daffodil) .... but hard person to track down so im guessing be pretty much cleaning car enjoying the peace n quiet of an empty house.

    • 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.
