I'll only sell with the right offer but other than that, I plan to keep it for a long time and after that, I'll leave it on the side of the road in punchbowl for people to steal. Insurance will do the rest ^^...........oops did I say that out loud?

I always see people on sau going, so sad to see my car go, i had to sell because I bought a house.

I could never do that.

The only time I could sell it would be to upgrade it. lol, I reckon if I bought an r34 gtr, or the new gtr coming out, I wouldn't think about my current car for more than 2 seconds. lol

i was 18, i wanted a 300zx but was told by anyone in the know not to get one, so decided that maybe as a second choice an r33 skyline would do.

pretty much exactly the same as this dude lol. i orgionally wanted a 300zx... one of my good mates had one always thought it was awsome etc... till i helped him work on it. was like pfft f**k... that

and then, the love of skylines came about. bought one as my first car last yr. never looked back :(

uncle / aunty owned a stage1 s1 black with gtr badges / wing etc, soo fell in love with it even though twas auto, did move, when it came to buying was looking at what I could get for my price range leaning towards evo but couldnt afford 1 point blank... then noticed... hey t's arent that expensive... shit wait... 32r's arent either... after making heart braking decision that if i bought the r i couldnt afford it really so went the t, kind of wish i hadnt since hte t is sitting in my garage not being driven just as much... frigin SDRO !! *shakes fist*

anywho luvs my manual s2 active lsd model for what she is, pure bliss, screw bling factor though its nice, its all about the cornering baby....

I wanted a 300ZX to begin with but after doing a bit of research (and seeing a couple get towed into work) I changed my mind and started test driving the gts-t's. The first drive was enough to convince me but it took a few more to find the one I wanted.

Amazing how many of my friends have converted after being taken for a spin.

At least 3 are looking at skylines for their next car as a result of my 'demonstrations'.

Always loved the shape of them since i was about 15. Loved the look of all the models but really took a liking to the 33. Drove my mates 33 6 years later and had to get get one for myself. Sold my celica quicksmart! Rwd, heaps of power, tough looks, awesome induction and exaust note just has to have one. So went out and got myself a newly imported silver s2 :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!

      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...
