Steve/Everyone,

We are going to be creating a spreadsheet of all the local tuners, perfomance parts, rice accessories, fabricators etc. in the Perth area so that we all have a list of places we can go to in the future. It will be up soon, but will need input from the rest of you to make it complete.

We hope that it will prove valuable to everyone.

See'ya:burnout:

you can get pretty much any part on the web. it's often much cheaper than buying it fourth hand from who knows where in some expensive shop front.

when i hear some valves i usually say "sounds like hes got a cold". is this what your nick is from sneeza?

  • 5 years later...

just tried searching but no luck so i thought i would dredge up this old thread.

where in perth can i walk in & buy a good steering wheel.

3 spoke sparco suede or similar?

ive checked go gear & revolution racegears sites but they list sfa

i know jpc might have something s/hand but can anyone else suggest anywhere?

Do you really need one that urgently?? If you can't find what you're looking for in Perth you could just order one from an Australian store & get it posted express, would only take a few days.

well yeah if i cant find one in perth i will have to look elsewhere.

i know it might sound silly but i would much prefer to just go somewhere myself & buy one.

hopefully go gear or rev race gears web site is way out of date, but if anyone has actually seen a shop in perth that doesnt sell autotechnia type shit, please let me know.

also im looking for a jap boost gauge, 52mm black face, cant find one of them here either, it shits me. i dont mind paying more buying local but no one seems to stock anything.

Racegear Revolution in Ossy park has Sparco Wheels on the shelf too

OMP from Go Gear is tops as well. If you walk into Go Gear and walk out with just a Steering Wheel, your a more controled man than I am!

LOL I know exactly what you mean!

If you find the Sparco dealer locally or even within Australia let me know as there is a footrest that i want to order.

    • 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...
