Hey guys and girls,

I introduced myself and my car a couple of months ago, well im back i need some help desperately. After spending $2,600 on a full major service and a brand new exhaust i have run out of money to get my car raised up...(and for the record im not asking for money) I have Tien HR in my skyline, and i was wondering in this whole forum if there is some1 with keys for the Tiens, and some guys, or girls who are willing to help me this weekend to raise my car up (prefure some people who have done this before because i have not a clue what im doing).

Please Guys and Girls if i could get 2 people to help this weekend, and a set of key i could borrow that would be awsome...

I hope i can get some intrest in people who are willing to help...

Please if u could lend me a hand this weekend please send me a pm.

Best Regards, Vlad

If only i could find my spanners i would give it to you.

Its pretty simple easy to raise the suspension, just hard work thats all.

If you have spring compressors, that would help alot too. Basically you just unlock the bottom plate and then wind the upper plate to your desired height and then lock the bottom plate again. Also the spanners have a little square on the end, which is designed to fit in a 1/2" ratchet/breaker bar for more leverage.

Hope that helps.

Coils on them shouldn't be jammed as i only got the shockers 6 months ago, threads didn't have rust either.. just use some wd40 and she'll be fine.

It's easy to do Vlad, just jack her up and you'll get what i mean. Your a strong boy, sure u can do it...just get some spring compressors and its easy as.

If u need any more help, give me a call. :)

Spring compressors you say, im just scared that the car might fall while i got it up with no wheel on.... and i would be much more comfortable with some1 who has done this before there just so at keast they know whats going on lol

      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!

      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...
