thanx for all the great positive comments! :( cheers everyone.

its a 92 model

the work im getting done is from potek, they seem pretty good.

1 little problem im noticeing atm is according the the power fc controller the air temp readin gets up to 40 - 50 degress and the water temp gets up to 70.

is this too high????

should i get the pods boxed up to keep them cooler cos after driving it i touch feel them and there warm!

my mate just sold his evo 9 for a black fd rx7...looks mean, but the evo was a much better car. the rx7 is stupidly tiny inside!!!

good to hear your going to protek.. dom & joe do some good work and have had some very quick gtrs come out of there..

congrats on the buy :)

awesome car. great buy. id change the turbos pretty soon if they're still stock. GT-SS are awesome. i got mine when i was on my 1st rebuild. great responsiveness and power. a little too small for the 2.8 now though. i really need to look at selling them :D and getting some bigger 1s. Perfect turbos for the RB26

what type of price would u wana get for ure gt-ss????

and dom at protek looks after the car very well, they seem like a good bunch of guys there.

ans is there a bolt on, or something to that effect for coolin, like a box and some sort of better cool air intake, or best to custom make??

ive always wanted to find the car that i would be able to call 'the one'

gone through a few cars on the way, so heres the pics to show the journey.

from a nice cool prelude back in the days, loved the interior and dash of this car.

to the first turbo...mitsu cordia.

was heaps of fun, but the torque steer was to toooo much! had 2 of those,

the silver one way modified nicely and loved it, but not the one, put the greatest sound system in it but got over that very quick

so i decided i NEEDEd to buy an R32 gtr and im in love with the beast!!!!

i keep it put away in the garage and is purely a weekender because the feeling of coming home on friday and opening up the garage, taking the covers off and taking it out is unbelivable.

now i just look for excuses to drive it on the weekends lol

its very very clean, reasonable stock, tuned and dyno'd when i got it at 202kw at the 4.

running 13psi very safe tune but still fun for the road.

great fine white example of a 32gtr i think...and SUPER happy with the purchase.

....on order a set of 18x9.5 gtr face white advan tc2. fingers crossed they look good.

white rims on white car, still unsure. heres hoping! :P

ANY CRUISES IN VIC IM IN! and looking forward to it

    • 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...
