post-22701-0-30697500-1330416662_thumb.jpg ( One i took today at work ) Hope nothing major or wrong with yours Paul ?

Oil pump destroyed itself and broke into about 12 pieces. Exhaust cam welded itself to a few cam caps, all EX valves bent. Intake cam is as good as useless. SOMEHOW the bottom end survived. A quick polish of the crank and it's good to go. Some of the big end bearings looked like they just came out of the box. Stupid Oil pump's. Good for nothing!

Bugger , that sucks ! just when it was getting some great results and moving forward ! which oil pump did you have on it ? I worry about mine as well but mine is "only" making 350rwkw , have not done a track day with this one yet , fingers crossed . Glad the bottom end is good though that is a small relief :thumbsup:

It was so strong. It was running an N1 pump. I was always worried about that stupid thing. It only had to last maybe another 3-4 months and it was going to be ripped out and replaced with a Tomei.

2.8 is getting sold. It's high comp 3.0 time :D

Sorry to hear about this mate. Glad the RRR block is okay though

varrstoen 2.2.1 18x10.5+15 but i also put a 3mm spacer behind each rim, all rims sit flush with the guards now.

also have federal 595 rsr tyres 265/35/18

They look really nice and flush mate. Good job!! :happy:

    • 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...
