I say congratulations to the people who got their cars taken and fines for doing stupid sh1t.

Serioulsy doing burnouts with people standing right next to the car like that is asking for sh1t to go wrong.

To the people that did these things, thanks for the un wanted attention i get now. I have no sympathy.

That was the first time I had ever been to anything like that, being fairly new to the import scene, and all the idiots besides, I had an absolute ball. Perth should really be able to hold its head high with the range and quality of the cars that were there that night.

lol the sirens weren't dubbed in, the cops were just putting on a little show I was there watching!

It was a really good turnout of cars that night it had everything from muscle, import, luxury (that bentley omg!), hotrods, etc. Such a shame that a bunch of idiots didn't leave their shenanigans elsewhere and ruined a good night, turning what would have been one of if not the best perth cruises into a police lockdown which led to the media labelling EVERYBODY there as hoons (sensationalistic pricks) so the general public has more reason to hate us. Still, the police were informed of the event beforehand and should have done their job properly by fining/arresting those doing burnouts (some of which they did) instead of harassing everybody else who did nothing wrong by inspecting every vehicle for 3-4 hours ruining the night.

The burnouts are cool, but it definitely was not the place to do it... especially with all the people around. lol @ the dumb ones standing right infront of the cars... :w00t:

They blocked the carpark off, and started handing out stickers.

I was 3rd in line after they blocked it off, the 2 Commodores before me got yellowed. The cop pulls me up, pokes his head in, looks at the cage, looks at the all the gauges, then sees the QLD rego and just tells me to move on.

Couple of guys rocked up next to me at the round-a-bout in a Hilux pissing themselves laughing and asked "how the f**k did you get through that?".....

    • 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...
