Hey kids, I'm about to go and get some gear for a pod filter, adaptor and probably some other stuff like gear knob, oil and oil filter for my gts, can anybody recommend a shop that is close to the clayton/mount waverly area that you know and would have this stuff in stock?

Cheers,

Evolution R is good, but pretty expensive (Unit A2, 2A Westall Rd, Adamco Business Park, Clayton 9543 6255)

Or try Ice performance, i had my clutch put in there and they're really good... address is at:

www.iceperformance.com.au

By the way, if you are getting a pod filter, TRUST Airnx are REALLY loud; they sound like a mega blow off valve when you back off the throttle. It gets kinda annoying, i had a K&N on my old car which sounded sweet but wasn't as loud...

dont think ice sell nobs and stuff :P

might wanna try somewhere like Auto1 i think there is a shop in bayswater....

i got my pod filter from there.... just a simota one but it does the job and only costs like 80 all up

Unfortunately, Inark is right. We don't supply things like gear knobs, pretty lights or gauges.

We can however get pod filters, piping, oil filters, oil and the like.

Evo R in Clayton supplies most of the gear your describing. Give them a call.

ok ok, SMGII caught him napping. Also, didn't use 'launch control' - did you know that if you use it 5 times (the OBC records it) it will void the warranty?? It is in the Users manual...

gotta love that ! silly rich people's cars.. in fact new cars in general!

hahahaha thats gotta sux, the computer dobbing on u to the car dealer!!! :lol:

I don't normally drag and I don't normally 'brag' about this kinda thing. But I wanna set things straight. I think the M3 SMG is really good! One of the best, based on my experience. I got about 225rwkW (RB25DET) and I dragged this ol' man in SMG M3 once. ;)

The way he launch, I've never seen a better traction off the line. It was so quick and efficient! It must have felt like an F1 car. And changing gears, too... I'm always a fan of the M-series, but this car is my fave. Replacing the E30 M3!

I barely had traction in 1st and going to 2nd. I lost, not by much (probably by 5 inches or so) but I still lost. And all the while I keep on hearing that the SMG suck... I wanna know what they think would be better than that. Don't tell me it's a Ferrari 'coz I never even dream of purchasing one! ;)

By the way, that Don guy is nice...

I agree, Evo-R ain't cheap... But they do a pretty good job at keeping customer happy. Get to know him and he'll help you out with the pricing... :D

    • 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.
