How's that a fake GT-R? Do you see any GT-R badges on it? All that resembles this car to a GT-R is a nice fast lift of a genuine bar, and a got set of R33 GT-R hwels to fill out the guards. If you know what you're looking at and truly passionate you would appreciate a car like this.

Gorgeous shots Tim - All the best with the car mate.

I hate fake GTR's with a passion!

Well, good things its not your car then :) I love the fact that you would HATE my car then :P I think I should put GTR badges on it to annoy people. But truth is I am waiting for some nice new GTSt decals from Nissan which it will wear with pride :(

Exactly how I'm envisioning mine to look like in the near future except in black. Pure understated goodness!!

Well done on the purchase Tim. Great looking example

Hey Steve that's your old car yeah?

Still looking good!

Sure is mate :P I know Tim will take great care of her and keep her looking awesome.

My new car will be in the R33 pics thread soon - Purchased some HKS Coilovers I'm about to put in tomorrow and then I'll take some photos of the R. Will also be looking for some gunmetal 18x10 XD9's. If you see a set selling locally any time in the near future give us a yell :)

max what are the sizes of your wheels + tyres + any suspension mods?

Runnin Tein Coilovers maxed out

18x9 -2 215/40/18 front

18x10 -1 225/40/18 rear

Slight pull in front and .. huge pull in rear. I don't suggest this size on any GTST that is stock body. A big pull like that will mess up your fender as you can see on the closeup. I'm also running alot of negative camber.

BN rear, lose the rear wiper and maybe some east bear or bomex mirrors done, looking very cool

Haha!

I think you should have went with a R34 as you got the wheels and spoiler... ;)

Jokes.

Yeah you gota update your signature as well.

Heh!

Yeh, the wheels were borrowed from a friend while my TE37s were ebing stripped so we could re-paint them. They came up awesome, cant wait to get them on the car next week.

As for the rear wing, its rather hit and miss for me. I got it because i wanted a functional wing for track days. Was concerned many of the big aftermarket wings were more parachutes and drag adding then down force adding...so went with something that is obviously reasonable from the factory. I have a second boot lid that got painted up so it will be going on for street duties.

    • 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...
