Pete, Troy from mildrins does a fair bit of tuning at my mates work Aussie dyno and tune, He also has tuned a fair few PFC's, seems well educated with tuning...usually you can tell just by how they talk and their attitude while they are tuning. Just a thought, You could also keep it in AWD as my mate's dyno is 4WD. Brian Hester is another one who hires out the dyno, years of experience, national rep for HALTECH, but also does PFC's. He has done a fair few GTR's.

food for thought.

awesome work on the 32 :P. how many kms it done, manual? (sorry if its been stated earlier. diddnt have time to read through 10 pages)

rb20det's are great little motors. have one in my work car. as damo experienced its a real revvy motor and on 12 pound still a bit of fun.

looking forward to sussing it out.

good luk

Hi Mark, Havent spoken to you in ages..

Its got 148,000kms its a bit but got it cheap so i didnt mind. Yep Manual haha... also has an r33 turbo in it, heavy duty clutch and 3" exhaust all the way to the turbo and gtr kit on it but im changing the kit anyways and getting engine work done to help out the turbo!

big +1 for troy, great bloke to deal with. was able to fix a problem on my car other tuners couldnt

RB's hang around Kahli, 148,000 is not so bad. Running stock boost? you could whack a cooler on and up the boost a bit! :wub:

yeh running stock boost atm.. hopefully gettin some of the engine work done in a few weeks hehe... boost boost boost!

    • 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.
    • 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.
