hey its nice, without doubt

thats some huge dish going on at the rear, thinking (personally) are they perhaps 1/2inch too wide?

just the way the tyres sit on the rims, thats all.

lower it a little (half an inch) and she'll be looking might FiN3

Nah Tangles, she can fit at least 245 or 255 on the rears as they are 9.5 wide, but they tyres are streached over as they are 225s, Tis what mine are like also!

yeah like deluxe said, i could fit wider tyres, but i left it upto Joe at wheelworx to fit what he thought was best. With these tyres they dont sit out the guards as much.

Yep gonna lower her just a little, cant go too low or i wont get it in my driveway. I have enough trouble now as it is!

well up until about a month ago, i use to park in my neighbours driveway every night, and out the front of my house during the day. Then he decided to sell and move so i was forced to learn to get into my driveway. Getting in is easy now.. but reversing out is fun, it requires going forward and back a few times to get more and more angle. Seeing as though the front bar has been painted twice now since ive had it, i dont wanna chip or scrape the paint lol

Its not that my cars that low, its just that my driveway sucks!

Your rims look HAWT Flick!!! :thumbsup:

I know all about angles on drive ways I use to have to use my neighbours drive way to get to my house and go over there lawn until they got mad and started blocking it with cars :laugh: lol

But I learnt pretty quick the massive angles that I needed to take to get up and down and blocks of wood are my friends :(

      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...
