aww man, if farking JAP

okay first plan of action

check with whom ever it was who turned it into a clock concealed timer cos he has obviously managed to install it with jap instruction.

second, why are these boost gauges dead

ecu is not in the boot

its in the passenger kick panel

under the glove box and to your left, just under the factory flare in that panel

it comes off quite simply and then the ecu sits there.

i dont see why the gauges both died at the same time, because if the dash one is electronic then yeah maybe a wire problem, but if the blitz one is dead thats weird cos its a mechanical gauge.

the vacuum line is all that is involved in making it move.

which means the car is not providing a reading to the vacuum line, which means the line must not be connected.

i dont get any other explanation

I think the vacuum hose blew off the back of the gauge,

that would make more sense.

Especially if both the gauges died

i just dont get it hey

if its not resolved by the weekend. i will come round if thats cool. and maybe we can go through the wires and the lines.

yeah riaz, good idea - my dad was getting worried didnt know wat else was going 2 **** up but i told him it was alright and i would get it fix.

And today i notic the chick factory to the skyline. after work my mates rock up with some girls that work at macca's and one ask me to take her home and smile at me like she wanna 2 hook up this was wired cuz she never talk 2 me at work at all.

    • 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?
