Dont know where to start this post. We strapped my car on the dyno on friday in preperation for the track day today and thats when the bullshit started. Stainless highmount was warped and cracked again for the umpteenth time so game over.

Not so Says mic. I will custom build one and have it fitted and tuned in time. so he did. Then the shithouse braided turbo oil lines shit themselves, No probs says mic. goes and has custom hardpiping made up to suit.

Off we go again. blow off valve shits itself. No problems says mic, rebuilds it better than tyrbosmart intended. Away we go again. nice power, car idling and running beautifully, naking around 450 hp so we decide its time to dial in the water meth. WTF. lost the signal from the afm. several hours later and a long story short the w/meth signal was interfering with the afm and had done all along. several hours tuning down the farking drain. All this interspersed with the oiul filter blowing off on 3 different occasions and filling the bay and shop with hot oil.

Enough I said. Get f***ed said Mick, Get the hell out of my shop. So I did. 3 a.m. I gets a phone call. Hey bud. shane, Lazy bastard and I worked all night and fitted a haltech and retuned. 500 hp spinning the shit out of the tyres and still water meth to go. scarey.

BUT! She blew the farkin diff. OMG. So much respect to these guys for the unbelievable effort.

SIGNATURE PERFORMANCE YOU FARKIN ROCK

JINGA NINJA YOU ROCK

LAZY BASTARD YOU ROCK

I cant believe how fortunate we are to have men like Mick Oshea and Dan to give us such undodgy effort but today the sun shines firmly on Mick. You are a farkin champion mate along with your red headed sidekick. Hats off to the best effort I have ever seen.

Hate to be getting that bill, especially if they charge by the hour. Suppose once its up and running the cost wont matter as much as having a solid high power car, and a workshop that knows all the in's and outs of your ride, that you can count on time and time again.

knowing Mick the bill will be nothing like what it would have been at other places

nice job noel, hey curious what boost was all this done with? sounds like a little more winding to go in there yet

Can wind some more in if needed Adam but it just isnt neccessary bud. we still havnt really touched the tune as yet, just made it safe to make sure it was ok and it spat out the numbers we have been looking for all along. still got 1500/2000 rpm to throw at it yet plus a heap more timing and more fuel to come out and the water/meth setup to dial in.

I was beginning to think i had built a lemon until now. At last theres light at the end of the tunnel.

Hi 2630GTS, your right MountainRunner = Paul and it was good to meet you also.

It sounded pretty bad up in the RPM range. Give Mick a call and get it on the dyno to sort it out before the next event. You got to run that car at the Nissan Meeting on July 8. It is one of the cleanest R32's I have seen.

Honour and respect are two great values that seem to be long lost in our modern living..

I know a diesel mechanic just like that, pitty he is crap with pretrol.

I read this post with interest and notted no vegatives, no mess or slander.. Hmm, does that make him a guru?

Anyhow, I am sure the whole expereince has left u with a very warm, humbling, fuzzy feeling.

I bought a 6 pack for the last guy who displayed traits like this, i did it when my mechinist did an all nighter to get a bunch of parts ready for me when i needed them done yesterday and i was knee deep in a broken car. He was more than happy to do it, and asked me to call again next time and bring a pair of 6 packs to share with him...

Congrats Noel!

Sorry to dig up and old thread, but a year and a half later, and I still got the same amount of quality workmanship and effort in the 1st post. Bought a car, 2JZ powered S15, with so many clutch problems and now have been sourced and fixed by Mick and his team. Yea the bill at the end sucks but no one ever said motorsport was cheap...

Cheers, Matt...

      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!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      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...
