ok well let me put it this way - I rang Ben and he said "keep the standard bar as it's better for the oil cooler" (Mick had a genuine Nismo bar sitting there ready to put on but the boss said no)

LOL

LOL, like i said, i dont know how applicable/practical the theory is to Skylines....but it has to have some substance as you see it on cars running coolers up front...almsot all the GT2 cars etc etc

The Z Tune actually runs twin front oil coolers. The rear coolers are diff and trans coolers.

The bonnet itself is actually from Unique Autosports in NSW. I've had it for a while - same people that did Jacks R33 one. But the stuff from JSAI while it wasn't 100% perfect (took a little bit of fiddling to get it to fit bang on) was overall pretty damn impressive for the price of it all. I genuinely have no drama's at all with the quality of it and whilst Josh can be hard to deal with at times I'd put up with it again if he ever had something else I wanted to get as I wouldn't hesitate getting stuff from him again.

Nice andrew, how long before the paint has its dose of Sponsor stickers? :)

Haha - less than 2 weeks. My 1st rally is on Jan 31st in Tassie. The car is being entered as a 2005 Nismo GT-R Z Tune (hence why I've done the kit).

Looks ace, is this the same kit as Aaron has on his? Really finishes the car off and the best colour for a 34 IMO, good work :)

Na Aaron has the top secret side skirts and bonnet and the Nismo front bar.

looks nuts dude.

question why not do the skirts in black to match the lip and more Z Tune like??? but looks hot either way

wanna sell me you stock GTR bonnet??? lol

cant believe such a hot car is only a race car :( (or is it road registered as well???)

cant wait to see this in flesh at deca or next track day.

    • 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.
