Hey guys, im just new to the site. Bought my R33 GTS-t last week. So firstly i would like to say hi to everyone :D

I live down south and i parked in a collonades carpark and went to far into the cement block on the carpark >.< theres a small crack in the front bumper that i have just covered with black tape for now. Does anyone know any good fibreglasses in the southern area that they would recommend?

Thanks, Nathan.

Welcome to SAU mate.....i personally wont really worry about that little crack...let me ask is it a stock front bar or aftermarket.....also be very careful with speed humps, gutters etc while parking and stuff.....

It's an M spec front bumper. and it has been scraping quite a bit, the bumper looks frail as its starting to splice and splinter :S is there anyway to heighten the car a small bit because a new bumper would be quite expensive. its exactly 100mm off the ground.

if it's just a stock bar then your ride is too low! get some standard springs or something

Yeah its not a stock bar, im affraid if i put stock springs on it, is going to look like crap. Any other suggestions? maybe i could get a new front bumper thats a bit higher?

Get used to it :D cheapest option. crawl over bumps and humps, its the way of the enthusiast

Sweet as man, PM sent. I think i saw that 180 @ the castle plaza - westlakes cruise.

Does your shop have a leather cover (thing that goes around gear stick, not sure what its called :D) mines a bit torn.

Thanks!

    • 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...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
