Open zah bonnet. Zeah you should find two boltz on each of ze braketz boel-ted to ze bonnet zat hoeld ze bonnet up. Ya? Wis ze two boel-tz closest to ze Vindshkeen (left unt right side, ya?), undo zem, den insoo-ert 3 or 4 big vasherz (2mm shick, ja?) bet-veen ze braket unt ze bonnet.

Zeah, you kan now dorift better...

:confused: dude i thought you were from japan :)

To be honest it has little to no effect at all, for any form of cooling in the bonnet the vent area needs to be in the first third of the bonnet. This from a guy who makes carbon bonnets for a living for rally etc. Something to do with the wind speed, it will not push all the way trough the engine bay and out the back. I used to have mine up 5mm at the rear but this was to help clear fmic piping and strut brace as they both touched slightly on the bonnet liner.

Interesting point re the aero BOOSTMEISTER...I remember reading just recently (can't remember which car this was tho), they actually had an *intake* at the base of the windscreen - apparently something in the airflow around that part of the car makes it suck air *into* the engine bay.

    • 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.
