did i scare u a bit ken ?? cmon it was close...

Huh, no Simon , you didn't scare me .

People seem to have a mythical view that the GTR is an unbeatable all conquering thing .

Most road near stock GTR's ( pipe , boost , clutch ) are good for around 12.4 or so at the plex.

A good GTST is good for 13.4 or so. A slight lazy launch or insufficient revs on grippy tyres ( my excuse ) will negate the difference and once grip is achieved from both cars power/weight comes into play.

I also do NOT confess to being a drag expert, my satisfaction is track orientated.

Having said all that , that is a freakily quick stock terbed ( I have been told ) 32 GTST you have there.

Anyone know what the cpaer was with the two commies the cops tried to take outside carosel for getting a bit tail happy, i was told they got one guy in a white sedan but the green ute did a runner, so much of a runner he almost ploughed into me on leach highway then buggered off down the manning road exit when he got clear of us all..

I only ever find out about these things after the event!!!

I was pulled over last nite for my blue headlights. Got off with a warning, but the officer told me if he wasn't about to go off duty, he would lift the bonnet and find several reasons to give me a sticker. Must of had a really bad shift. As we were driving off, my son switched on the under car neons. What a lad!

Yeah some cops are pricks but some are half decent well ive been let off for doing 75 in a 60 zone, 75 in a 40 zone and tailgating (and it was actually the cop i was tailgating he was in an unmarked blue wagon) and it was a public holiday double demerits - so there was my license gone but they let me go sayin they had better things to do. The other time i was blowing the cobwebs out the cop was trying to crack onto me haha asking me everything from where do i work & even making excuses for why i was speeding. Ya just got to use some of that female charm angel - do the innocent act haha :rolleyes:

Angel , it was actually a Performance Forums Cruise but a few peeps from here go to both.

BTW whats this:eek:

2 females have just joined the WA SAU . Excellent

Now wait for all the er.... young boys to start asking the usual questions:D

* Joe, Paul , Hicks , psiko , your slipping.*hehehe

Cheers

Ken

I have manners, I PM'ed. hehehe

Cheers

* no dear , I was joking dear, no I'm not trying to chat up young girls dear, yes I know I'm old enough to be there father dear *:lol:

Father or grandfather? Either way you look at it, your just a dirty old man:lol:

No wonder we don't get many newbies any more, look at the way we act, and I thought you were the mature one.

See'ya:burnout:

oi you two! I go away, keep nice and quiet and still get ridiculed :D

and I ain't that young :rolleyes:

I just go :shake: out the window when they pull me over, then they get scared and drive off :):D

not really...

welcome angel and nizmo by the way :)

gts-t vspec - I finally put those tyres on, they are AMAZING!!! Used to get major traction problems going to 2nd, put pineapples in and was better (but still a lot of spin), now it's just a chirp and away she goes! jan is happy :D

Psiko,

FFS, what took you so long. Told you they were good.

See'ya:burnout:

I'd paid for pirelli p-zeros and only got about 2,000km's out of them ... so had to drive around on the carcasses for an extra 5,000km's to justify buying them

but toyo's are BLOODY good :rolleyes:

cheers for those mate!

    • 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...
