Bags are for groceries :P

Always had shit static... considered a cup kit but meh id rather spend 4k on a jz halfcut for the 14

Got a commonwhore for dailying and station duties. This is just for everything else and wouldnt want to ruin it with sloppy bags... nothing worse than seeing some mexican thing jacked up driving along.

We try.. lol. Most of those cars are faaaast apart from a few of us P platers. See my mates red v35 in the middle with GTR front? he just spent 20k on that paint and body kit.. too much money

miners have too much money.. they should give me some of it

Congrats on the purchase Tony, they are indeed a great looking car and rare for that matter. De badging is a great idea, i get people snapping necks to look at the front grille.. then realise it's emblemless haha.

I notice you have one of those underbody reverse lights is it?

Thanks mate. The car is actully more well travelled than I am, this was imported from Japan to Britan to Australia where i am the first registered owner. This is why I had the underbody fog lights cause the Brits have such horrible weather. Thankfully it was easy enough to remove as it looked like a big red pimple on it's arse, although now my high mount stop light is now not actually connected at all :whistling:

Actually, how are other peoples front number plates attached to their cars? Mine had a massive plastic section for the brit plates, and now the current plate does not hid the old srew holes as seen in the front pic here. Any thoughts on how to fix this? Can I get another plastic section to attach the plate, or is cutting them off my only option?

Yeah good question it's the same sort of thing at the back with the two hanging hooks don't suit Australian no. Plates. I never bothered to take them off - a few people told me to remove them and just bolt the plates to the bar.. But I worried about scratching the bar. Also removing the back rack the plates mount on would leave a big hole. Really interested what people have used for this. I was contemplating shopping around this week for something.

nice, that's a good upgrade. Wrong badge though.

The Jap owner put Infiniti badges on it for some reason. Everything inside says nissan, engine says PV36 ^_^

Just trying to find a different grill that will fit it, having trouble finding parts for a 2008. Lots of confusion online over it being the same as a G35 or a G37. Hoping to find a new grill & sports lip, plus I need to find somewhere to tint the tail lights. Anybody know where to go? I've seen pre cut tint on eBay but haven't tried it.

Loving it at the moment, but noticing it chugging every now and then, maybe from a tank of BP 95? I can't hear the engine from inside the car so I don't notice the gear change as much as I did in the R33, the chug has a similar feel to changing gears (auto) but over & over quickly. Drove it from Syd to Adel so maybe it needs a service.

The all jap computer is a little annoying, english manuals have helped but I wish I could disable Navi all together, esp seeing as I can't replace the cdplayer/navi without stuffing everything up. Been experimenting with a 7" Android tab and a Galaxy S3 as carputer replacement. To many adapters & wires though, I need a old Galaxy Tab P1000 as that has RCA out. Newer android's use MHL, so have to go micro usb > hdmi > rca.

Have HEAPS of Galaxy S3's lying about in pieces though, so trying to slave touch from the default screen but haven't had any luck. I think i'd have more luck with a specific tab as screen with a i/o that'l work.

Missing the R33 turbo as well, luckily it hasn't sold yet so I still drive it sometimes ;)

    • 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.
