This is a rather self indulgent thread I know but I'll feel better if I talk about it. The car is at ICE Hospital to see why it bled itself dry and to get fixed up. Hopefully its nothing worse than a blown hose. I have all confidence that the guys at ICE will be able to fix it. If anyone can save it, they can.

Visiting hours are between 1pm and 4pm. Feel free to go and offer your best wishes. Both myself and the Line would be grateful. But I know it'll pull through.

:mad:

i'm better... :)

i wouldn't my line off the road for that long.. all it does it depreciate during that time, better off driving it or leaving everything until you can afford the whole job done fully. Maybe that is why my turbo upgrade is sooo far away :D

The cars being off the road has nothing to do with not being able to afford it. My car is simply waiting for the water pump to go back on and then the fuel system fixed and then I should be out at the strip again trying to pull better times. Now that I have my Nittos, I'm hoping we can race by June. The other car is being put back together to sell.

    • 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...
