Heya greg

springs are being fitted on thursday, so I will let you know how she goes then. I have driven a friends line with just kings in, on standard shocks, and it was fairly firm, and not too bumpy, but handled better again, thankfully my shocks are in really good knick according to pedders, so I should be able to get a bit more out before i get some shocks to match.

Exhaust&Cat are being fitted tomorrow. I got a price of $540 for a 2.5" hi flow cat&pipe&muffler and quality too (gotta love knowing the right people) I was waiting on the extractors but they're gonna take another 2 weeks and i wont have any free time then, so that will be later still

SAFC is awaiting install an tuning, but dont wanna do that until the extractors are on.

$$ took a little longer than expected to come in, but this is my big week for getting stuff done.

Cheers

Hi,

I have kings fitted to my car, and still using the standard shocks.

They really help to improve the handling of the car, miles better than standard and not bumpy at all.

It was great to start with, but noticed very quicky (2 months) the deterioration of my factory shocks, now 12,000km later my factory shocks are totally buggered and need to be replaced.

So in my experience, if you can afford to do the shocks at the time you get the car lowered, you might as well go ahead and do the shocks. Just wish we had done it then:(

Exhaust is on, and sounds as great as was expected. I have only really noticed a drop in revs for my normal crusing speeds, and a heck of a lot better response into 3rd and 4th. All in all, very nice.

Springs have been put back to tuesday as they are coming from over east, and the first order is "missing"

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      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.
