well my nanna left me a bit of money to spend on what makes me happy the most when she passed away, hence why im not spending the money on investments etc :nyaanyaa:

i was pretty set on an s15 but after reading bulk info on them i dont know if i want one lol so the next idea was to think about getting an r34 gtt, they look aggressive and get decent power out of them, or another idea i was thinking about was just putting all the money straight into the car i have now to make it faster :nyaanyaa:

i still have a bit of time to decide so your input would be great.

and yes i know, why should i be asking everyone for their opinion when im going to be the one driving the car and spending the money etc but just tell me what you think anyway :laugh:

alot of us on here are in either mid or hell even early 20's. there's a time and place for everything..and with the housing situation set to worsen if u listen to news and crap...i'd agree with dan. invest it. there's plenty of time later to play with cars :nyaanyaa:

I would look at house prices and consider my options, if its too soon for moving out and your pay can't meet repayments invest it and wait a few months/years

Don't put this sort of money into your car in 1 hit, its not a good way to use 'free' money

mm driving to reece had me thinking, the way it is now i cant make up my mind, im guessing i would probably end up saying ohh i wish i didnt go with this decicion blah blah blah, im not really going to be looking at a house, but as of now mayb just leave it in the bank till i can make a decent resonable decision, and when i think about it the car i have now is decent enough dont ya think lol

      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!

      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...
