Rusty Frenches 430 challenge was at Zagami service when i was in there last. Doesnt look like it has been tracked much, if at all.

The black Galliardo with the 2 digit no. plate belongs to a 'similar' company to P1....

Jeezus Ryan - new rule. If you can't spell them, you can't drive them.

It's Gallardo and I'll have no comparisons to you-know-who please. He's out of points anyway :(

We had the two Porkas out for some quick photos for the website today. Turbo is ace, but GT3 still my favourite...

to everyone saying "lucky this lucky that" whats so good about being around such cars all day everyday but not being able to afford em?

it would make me sick everyday knowing i'm so close to a ferrari but i can't own 1 myself

James, too much top gear makes you spell like a pom.

Jar - not much... really, we pretty much run the cars around getting them fixed, chasing trams, dropping them off / picking them up and getting them washed and ready to go to the next customer.

Not that it's super exotic or in the supercar league, but i saw a Shelby Cobra Replica today on Stud Rd in Wantirna.

Had 427 badges (may be, may not be) and the number plates BLOEN 8. The whine from under the bonnet tells me it IS Supercharged, not just dreaming! :P

that 911 turbo came into the wash the other day...but mmmm gt3.... that gt3 doesnt an asian guy own that? last time me n da manager had to take a 911 turbo and a gt3 back to porcshe and we amost had a punch on, on who will take the gt3. i had the 911 i was happy to even drive one....FARK THEY FAST

I would have rather taken the turbo.. It's quicker in a straight line according to the stats :dry:

who wants to buy a 200k car to go in a straight line...i love my corners dude...but nah they are fast :dry:

Who said anything about buying it, i thought we were talking about driving it back to the dealership :)

$200k?

Ah, nope. As they say on TV... higher!

BTW - the GT will be outside the Eurpean Cafe on Spring St next week from 8am to 9.30am (weather permitting)

Come and say hi!

    • 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...
