Hey guys,

i've never really blown my own trumpet on here before, even earlier this year when i was in my first car feature April Hot 4's. But today there's a spread in the technology section of the Herald Sun and its bloody annoying waking up to txt messages, but when you're woken up by mates telling you your famous and it looks great i can't complain :-)

And good news too, the skyilne was the first featured car that takes up half the first page. No mention of hooning etc so maybe this will help enthusiasts look better than hoons and a step in a positive direction for a change etc... ...but probably not

two thirds of the way down this page shows you the set up: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Au....html&st=40

i'm really happy with it, and was surprised they found me for an interview but am stoked! wanted to post pics of my car a while back at the first autosalon november 07 but didn't get around to it, and still to this date have not had other people comment too harshly which is good, but any feedback i'd love to hear it :D ...maybe

I remember he was so stressed about making sure it was ready for autosalon..I said to him then when it looked a bit of a mess this car will look mean..and at autosalon it definately did that!!! I love the work put into it and the designs...great stuff..and congrats on the spread in the Herald!

I read through the article and looked online...

awsum setup mate...there was only one part that was disapointing...

"I'm renovating a house so the Nissan's going in the garage and I wont be touching it."

Although Im too young to know how hard it must be to fix up a house... just saying :thumbsup:

      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...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

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

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
