' date='3 Oct 2006, 09:54 PM' post='2550777']wow! people are quick to jump on the attack. i bet if all the comments from people who have gone above the speed limit or have done something stupid in their cars were deleted, this thread would be pretty empty!

The difference is where and when you choose to do it.

In the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney, in the middle of the day, at 2.5x the speed limit is not exactly the same as someone doing the same speed on a deserted motorway late at night, or out in the middle of nowhere at 2AM.

And I've driven on RT215's (which, thanks to the resting position of the car, I can easily identify as the tyres). They might be semi slick but they're not an R compound tyre. In the dry, they require almost no warmup time. Especially not with the ambient temperature yesterday.

Assuming the driver warmed the engine up first before his foray into the other side of a license suspension, those tyres should have been pretty much up to temp. So "cold semis" is no excuse.

And if he hadn't warmed the car up, I don't think the prospective buyers would be too impressed with some guy revving the guts out of a turbo motor before oil and water gets into operating range. If he treats it like that in front of a buyer, how does he treat it when he's alone?

I am old enough to drive i have owned my car for 3 years. sure i have sped and done stupid things, but when a passenger gets into my car i make sure that im 100% focused!!!! yes it was a test drive. Besides my brothers mates told the moron to slow down and not to kill them! so he was warned. And as for singling out nationalities they are one of the worst drivers around as well as indians, havent you ever experienced their bad driving!!! look there are the occasional one or two that can actually drive. I know how bad they are they have nearly caused me to have an accident on many occasions as they dont check the roads and who is on them... i just know from previous experience how bad they are i know that the other nationalities are far better drivers! If you are trying to call me racist im not. i have many friends of various nationalities and they are wonderful people... as for learning a lesson: im sure this will not escape from anybodys memory anytime soon!!!!! :laugh:

i hope you die tomorrow.

Oh well, so much for me getting another GTR... When i sell mine.... BMW Convertible HERE I COME!!!!
Well after being in an accident like that, you don't really wanna get back into a high-powered car the next day. If you were in my position ... (almost getting your head crushed by a brick wall and from the roof just missing our heads thank god for the seats) you might just know why i want one... coz its just a genuine cruising car plus summer is coming up and it will be less than the $4,500 insurance i pay for my GTR now and much better on fuel.

After being in a car that rolled, you want a car without a roof? :laugh:

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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...
