Hey Mark !. Sorry to hear it man. Not too long to go --hang in there. I've got it all ahead of me.Court next month

Next meet we will have to have a "go slow" through Sydney..like 20Kph through town Maybe 50 V's - Stop traffic !

  • 5 weeks later...

My new Series II 350GT gets a view of the ocean (yes - that over-exposed bit. Hey, it's with an iPhone!) near the QLD/NSW border. Picked up the car from Nagoya Motors in Sydney and took it for a return drive to the Gold Coast. Figured it was the best way to clear the cob-webs... :)

..what do you think? been getting lots of looks this week.

i reckon some 20s, lowering springs, black plates and de-badging wouldn't go astray.

I Keep saying it here.. Black is sex on wheels in the Vs. !!. Congrats, and happy motoring .

Hey Loh, is that lakshore blue. Since we're at it heres min.. :D

Hey Stuart, your call looks awesome with the rear spoiler! Great rims too! Anyway, i thought i'll post a photo of mine too!

And it's also taken from an iPhone so quality is a little low too! :)

Hey Elie... I am actually not too sure what is the name of the colour. I know the code is B30 and Dave (Spong) was telling me it's call lakeshore blue in the US. :( Do we have the same colour? Somehow think this is a slightly more rare colour as I haven't seen many... which is good! ;)

Yep same colour. Only seen three others in Syd in three years so far. (must be a few more by now). & People still tell me how nice the colour is. What are you rims..aint seen them before ? is she Manual or Auto ? I was lucky & got the fact 19in, Impul lip spoiler & cumputer chip, and Fujitsubu exhaust. Another shot in the light highlights the differing shades. Good on ya son !

Hey Elie,

I actually haven't seen a single one with the same colour here in Auckland since I started looking for a v35 coupe. Only saw some sedans before in that colour. Normally the v35 coupes here are silver, black or white. I think the colour is awesome!

Mine's an auto. Pretty much stock in terms of the body and exhaust. The japanese owner is however nice enough to add in a pair of Alpine tweeters for the stereo and the best thing is the rim. It's a set of ProDrive forged rims!

Certainly enjoying my car now!

Where did you get projectors from? I assume USA - in which case they are totally illegal as they will be biased toward oncoming traffic, whereas Jap headlights are biased toward the footpath.

If not, where from and how much? :P

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • 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.
