Have just place my order for a R33 GTS-t 4-door.

So I guess I will be right at home here.

I cant wait till I get it.

At 31 years of age I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve.

Looking forward to meeting some of our Brisbane and Goldcoast locals and joining in on a cruise or 2.

This might sound a little rude, but if anyone needs a passenger seat warmer on any cruise let me know, I have a CD collection that is rather large and prepared to pay my way.

I am currently driving a Camry which is to become the wifes car as soon as I get the GTS-t.

I am a computer Tech.

I repair a virus riddle PC for a customer the other day.

After I finished we got a talking and it turns out he runs an Importer/Compliance business.

So to cut a long story short.

I have placed an order for a R33 GTS-t 4door.

As soon as he shows me the right one he says around 3 weeks.

Damn nice price too. Cough 10k :)

The drags good will try to make it.

Hi MRE,

Good to see another Queenslander keen for cruising, our next cruise is early next month and is somewhere around Natural Arch on the Queensland/NSW border. You'll need to check SDU forums for details as most of the Queenslanders are still there. Squiz and evil_karlos are organising it so look out for those names.

They're were two other 4doors on the last one, so you'll feel right at home. But Of course they're all skylines so its ALL good! :lol:

Just managed to take a R33 GTS-t 2-Door for a test drive. With out MRSE :)

I think I should have left the dealer $20 so he could get the stains out :wink:

It was fitted with an after market Pod and the sound of the Turbo was music to the ears.

I have test driven XR6's and the like. And nothing has felt as sure footed, smooth, sound etc yada yada.

MRE, welcome and salutations my friend

there's a group of us going to toowoomba on saturday to play spectator at Boostmeisters dyno day.

if you want to play passenger you are more than welcome to come in my car as it is passenger-less at the moment, thats if you dont mind riding in a non-turbo car.

we will be leaving my place in new farm at 8am, if you want to come along just reply here or send me a PM

      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...
