How/why would other shops make a fuss if you play with timing at a dyno day ??? that's horsesh*t!

I could've got around 230hp and a much nicer power curve with my cas-bashing i reckon! the difference was AMAZING!

I need to get dump/front pipe, hiflow cat, safc tuned, pod partition....

hey memphis, let me know how you go with the dump pipe difference!

ps. how long did it take for your old spoiler to be cut'n'shut for the gt wing ?

hmmm, guy had my car for like...1 week, painted my rims n refitted the skirts, then it took an extra 2 weeks (due to problems)

Definatly worth the wait though!

Cost me $700 all up with the rims, skirt refitting and the boot. We also did the skyline badge at the back so it illuminates at night.

Gavs GTR made 318 before and made 343 in shootout but was running more boost than before so very close 25HP at higher boost in a GTR would be right. ( we will try Gavs car out of shootout mode soon).We tryed shootout and the old way and a S15 made 271 with out shootout 274 with it we tryed

a few runs in each mode to make sure .Most WA shops have this

package now so ask for it when testing your car.

    • 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...
