A select few of you here know the details of what i have planned and the actual specifics that go along with it, now unless you've living under a rock for the past few months you'll have picked up that it will indeed be sporting the big GTR badge.

However, my dilema is that i simply have not driven one yet. Now i don't want to go around to dealerships or individual sellers under the false flag that I am ready to make a purchase, it's disrespectful and dishonest.

So essentially I'd really appreciate it if one of our members could let me take theirs for a spin, I don't need to drive Jun's (although i would'nt decline the offer hahaha) It doesn't even need to be modded, I just want to drive one before mine hits the road some time from now and to inspire me to work harder whilst I'm getting it ready.

So if anyone in our beloved crew could give me some of their time to let me take their GTR for a drive I'd really appreciate it, on your terms, at your time, wherever suits you.

I could really use the inspiration so any opportunity would be hugely appreciated, i know it's a big ask......

I was considering letting u drive it since u live around the coner but then i thought it wouldnt be a good example for you with the sequential trans and the quad plate clutch it just wouldnt be fair for u it might turn u off 32's and id hate for that to happen.

You're right there is a calculated risk of me losing my passion for 32's but you know something.....I'm prepared to take that risk, shall we say around 8 this evening? lol :lol:

I actually wouldn't mind popping round just to have a look at it, i've never even seen the bloody thing!

      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!

      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...
