Hi

I just moved to Canberra from Dubbo. Down here to do some uni. Some of you might have seen me driving around already as i've seen quite a few lines with SAU stickers on them getting around.

Anyway i drive a R32 GTS-T with a Do-Luck body kit on it. The car can be seen here http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=101384.

So do you ACT skyline folk get together for cruises or anything very often? I'd love to come along and see a few other lines. Back home i had the only 32 in town until just recently!

We usually meet on a friday night at the Museum, but as of late there hasn't been much interest in that. stay tuned as we get it back up and running with 20+ cars a night!

Well i guess its not really uni as such. I'm at CIT. Hopefully there'll be some cruising going on soon. Everyone loves a good old fashioned cruise!

Hey chintami seen your car at CIT the other day. Looks tidy!

Ok....or everyone could completely forget to mention Tuesday nights???

We meet every Tuesday at the Jerrabomberra Tavern for trivia and a get together, you're more than welcome come!

THAT IS THE EXACT KIT I WANT, how much did it cost and where did you get it from?i sure hope it's not an original, otherwise you'd be taking out a secoind mortgage to buy it!

Veilside R33 its not an original kit. Its a replica i got from a mob in Perth called Works Auto i believe. Its an extremely well built kit as in strength etc but it doesn't quite fit that well. It took quite a bit of modification to get it to fit the car properly.

Also the kit is rediculously low! I went for a drive through Manuka the other day and got beached on one of the speed humps there. It was a little embarrassing!

To get the kit from works auto without the optional spoiler was about $1500, a fair bit cheaper than a genuine!

Also i might just come along Tuesday night, trivia and meeting other skyliners never hurt anyone! What time is it on?

NathR32 yeah Lee was telling me one of you guys owned an R32 but he said it was a different colour to mine! I figured it would probably be the same. Done much to yours besides the front mount?

chintami i wasn't trying to ram you in the carpark today either!! I swear! Was just trying to think of too many things at once!

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      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!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      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...
