yer, we got it sprayed already, but i can tell you that camerons at coopers plains did the work

been back there a few times for a touch up and woudlnt go anywhere else for my panel beating/painting needs

they are excellent

yer, the paint has sparkles all through it, looks awesome in bright sun, really shines

haha, its just been pointed out to me sedanlover that your car is my mates old 4 door

he sits next to me at work

the car looks much nicer now than when he owned it with its ugly 16" rims

good to see its finally being treated with some love and had some money spent on it!

i still have a piece of its original front bar on my desk here at work

wow, so much attention on my car! cool!

sorry, haven't checked out the forum in weeks.

ABOUT MY KIT: front bar is a very good GTR V-spec fibreglass copy. the side skirts and rear bar are some sort of veilside copy/rip off... acutually cannot wait to get rid of them. purchased the car as is, (but with shit 16" 3 spokes). my plans are to eventually fit a full m-sports kit!

the wheels you see in the pics are borrowed off a mate...going to buy them soon!

hey 12DFY... you drove past me on friday afternoon on reedy creek road. had no idea it was you (from this forum). good to see the 4doors uniting.

and yes we should organise a 4door only cruise!

Hey thats funny, I was thinking exactly the same thing. I was driving along and thinking to myself "bugger me that car looks familiar." Tis a nice sedan mate, got my attention anyhow.

Hey good to see interest in sedan only cruise. Let us know if you are interested and we will organise something!!!!!

i know a mate with with a bullshit R32 sedan (neo 6 in it).

and my mate just bought an R33 (to bad its a coupe)

i'm keen!

Cool, I have two 33 sedans here in my garage so thats a good start. (Thats if missus joins in). I may even leave the baby seat in too. (go the family cars)

oh yes! i have that picture many times over....i'm in love.

its funny, cause i first saw the m-sports catalog in a japanese magazine (option) and thought... i want a 4door R33 and i'm gonna put that kit on it.

and thats when it all started!

Ah yes drift barge you say, thats quite funny as since a skidpan is covered in water you are definately using the barge in the right place. Just kiddin

No i have only been at Gold coast area for four months so have not done skid pan. Let us know when its on and ill unleash my 220kw and my mechanical LSD in the appropriate manner. Been waiting for an excuse to do so.

My car started when i was 21 as a non-turbo and look what happened. So dont write it off as a barge!! + you probably use a tenth of the fuel.

heh, thats how i ended up with mine

i wanted something turbo, missus wanted something family

we all won

Not having a go at it being a family car mate, as I have family as well. 2 kids, everyone is a winner. My mates hammered me when I got it as then i was single and they were all like "get a couple blah blah blah." Perfect example they had coupes, we grew up and had families. Im the only one who still has a skyline.

Practicality and sports in one, you cant lose. You got my support as a family person!!!!

    • 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...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
