Update ->

Been out to one of the performance shops (nothing to do with the stagea, just happened to be driving it) and they had a quick look at the rear driveshafts and diff.

Seems that they ARE the R33 GTR ones :-) I'll update my top post.

the good news just keeps on coming!

It sure does.. If the wife ever moves onto another car (she likes this one) I can see it wouldn't need many $'s to be a very very very quick wagon :-)

Makes my decision not to buy an older rs260(the newest onest are still 2 years older than my 2001 rs4s) even better in hindsight - as I simply don't think they are worth the (large) price differential given my use ie the wifes wagon that I don't mind driving.. :-)

Though, while I'm happy driving the stagea, I still do take the R34 when I have a choice - I like the 200kg lighter feel, it is quieter, and more comfortable than the stagea.

Just that RB26 that is missing I guess... Hard to make up for that one in the long run if you start talking "quick" but then again you are miles ahead in the hip pocket!

nothing that the $20,000 price difference cant fix.

$25,000 versus $45,000 is a massive amount of money for very little difference.

- not to mention you could SELL the fully working NEO engine if you wanted to upgrade to a r34 rb26.. :-) Having a quick look around the internet a few minutes ago, I reckon (if you could do the work yourself) it would only cost a few thousand (net) to swap over...

They do look similar to mine - but it's not home at the moment so I can't take a pic..

Speaking of pics, does anyone know why I just see the text "IPB Image" instead of the image in the above post? (I had to manually get the link from the repply box..).

      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...
