What happened to the r31?

He had over heating issues all day and eventually ended up with a blown motor.

But he has an RB30 twin cam waiting to go in it so he didnt really care about the old RB20 giving up.

Oh awesome Vid Jon..But I dont think that is me :( That's Jay the other white GTR cause I never saw that R34 on the track..but I heard Jay mention it :)

Jay and I where both getting happy on those ripple strips up the top :)

Aww really? Ah yeah, after looking at the full resolution video again it looks like the number plate is SIG-80E or something like that.. Oops! :(

Yeah not sure if i'm a fan of the new ripple strips... :)

So that's what my car looks like from behind ;)

Sorry to hear about all the breakages. I managed to get away with only a split intercooler pipe (15 year old original) and an airy brake pedal (needs another bleed).

Great day, improved heaps and thanks to all the peeps that made it happen :)

Well DAMN!!!!! Why the hell did i spend all that coin on a big build. turbo's cams etc etc.

Just looking through this thread The only modification required is "hand timing" :P

(sneaks back over the border)

:D

If you can afford it, the absolute best mod is a "bum" lap timer. Made by the same group that released the "bum dyno".

I spoke to the company who sells them, and my 1:18 hand timed, should be a very accurate 1:07 on the bum lap timer :)

ha ha im gald they make both products cause once you make a bum power figure you need a bum timer to give you times that match the power!

Thanks for the tip Nismo. Are they a direct bolt on mate?

Jay, you drove past VZ SS and me on the Freeway on way home when we were pulled over on the side!

And I think you were MUCH quicker than your 1.13 in your sig!!!

Sorry about not stopping, didn't recognise you guys, hope all was good.

Should be much quicker now after I was shown the fastest way to go around the corners. Definately felt alot quicker :)

:P I wanted it to be me aswell ...Anymore vids Jon...You had some good lines on the track :D Well Done

did those cable ties hold up??

I like the big ripple strips I got pretty airborne up the top when I was chasing Boz ;)

I think it was on its last legs..But pretty sure the owner wanted it to die cause he has a better motor to go in it ;)

Yep! The cable ties did beautifully thank you :)

All hail the mighty cable tie!

I've got plenty more video, it takes me a bit of time to chop it all up because the original video is 1920x1080i resolution (about 190MB per minute!!), so it takes some time to compress it down to a downloadable size..

I only regret not getting some footage from outside the car, it's all in-car unfortunately. I was also lucky enough to have clear track ahead of me for a lot of the time, so it havent got that much 'chase' footage.. I'm browsing through now.. I'll see what I can find of other peoples cars

I hear that mod makes you chop atleast 8 seconds off your time, with no need for improved driving skills at all!! I wonder why no-one ever bothered to bolt one up when official timing was still in play :P:)

On a topical note, some of those pics are fantastic!!

      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

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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...
