I feel your pain mate. I lost it once when I was concerntrating. Also lack of experience I think. Only had the car 3 weeks, wasnt used to the power or rear wheel drive. Having bald tyres didnt help either. Lost it and took out a fire hydrant. Im the unofficial cause of stage 3 water restrictions. Lucky for me it was minor damage. I feel really bad about the amount of water lost though, the bloody hydrant was going for an hour. =(

PS: car was covered by full comp and is all good now. The sig pick is the side that was hit, front right. As you can see, you cant tell the difference. Now its got nice fat new tyres on it.

hrmm are you sure its worth to pay $7k to fix it?

How much do r33 gts' sell for these days?

Might be better to sell the wreck and purchase another gts? as the car may never be the same after it has been repaired...

i bought that 5 month ago for 13 k

i know i could buy like a shitty commo or something

but i love the car too much

its like

if your pet was sick.. and you could pay 2000 to make him better or 500 for a new pet

you wanna fix him

you could probably make 4 -5k selling all the parts, then plus the 7k that you need to spend to fix it is around 12k which would easily get you another gts that has not been in a smash, or hold out and get a gtst.

my friend has same sort of front end damage, his mechanic told him to go to the wreckers to get a "front nose cut".. should include most of what u need, except bonnet, lights, and belt from what i remember.. but its hard to find nose cuts.. should cost $1k i hear.. but if u find it, it could save you money..

also the airbags cost a shitload to replace.. 2000 + i think..

the money isnt so important as much as getting the car back asap

plus i dont wanna be hunting down shit

i like the idea of

i give to man

man fixes

man calls me when i can pick it up

    • 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...
