Driving back home today down Selby St from work and I noticed alot of flashing lights on the intersection of Selby and Nash st, as i pulled up close I noticed a silver R32 4 door skyline with a carbon fiber hood parked on the grass and it had the whole side of car smashed in. Everything from the drivers side door to the rear door was gone.

I hope the driver is alright as the smashed looked horrible. :)

Heard about this, really hope they are ok! :P

Too many ppl just don't concentrate on the roads! nearly got side swipped tonight by an idiot in an old holden turning into one of the Roe HWY on ramps, he was in the right lane and me in the left, instead of sticking to his lane he came over to mine, lucky I was paying attention and accelerated out of there in time!

Being able to quickly GTFO of the away of bad shiz about to go down is a much under appreciated aspect of performance cars :yes:

On the way out to sling some paint this morning I had some crazy hoe in a gold VT hammer through a dodgy intersection nearly hitt me head on, then on Karnup Rd in Serpentine that was some old guy in a Bronco hammering through the S bends, he came barrelling round the bend and I was like "er.. f*#K" and started to take evasion manouvers.. he didn't come unstuck though :blink:

i saw that poor 32 aswell... just after it happened.. there was like a good thirty people standing there looking at the skyline and about 2 people looking at the other pile that was involved in the crash.... fire brigade, ambulance etc so it must have been pretty bad.... my dad reckons they were using the jaws of life on the skyline...... definately a both right offs! ..... jamie

      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...
