Thats the type of kits n sh!t I had to deal with at sinergy, nightmare. With side skirts etc wood fails as it doesn't bring the car high enough to get under the skirts lol Absolute nightmare!

Nisskid your car is hardly heaps low? But anyway sometimes wood isn't thick enuf so you can get the arms underneath the car to the chassie rail

lol, i think ull find it doesnt look low because it doesnt have a gay kit on it or hektik 18's, to give u an idea, the cat was scraping on the road when i was doing 3-point turns because of the camber of the road.

but yeh, the kits are an issue, but the actual arm is only about 7cm thick, so all id need to do is put u up onto a 5cm thick block of wood, and the arm will slide under easily.

What is it with people dissing kits these days ?

With the right wheels etc they look tough.

BN kits with massive offset wheels look tough. Sometimes I think I'm reading the grandpa gogo mobile forums

nah for the most part kits look tryhard and massive offset is extravagant wank

im for the james bond school of design, not the paris hilton mindset

subtlety over gaudy vomit

-D

Edit - yet to see a kit for the r32 gtr that beats the stock standard bodykit - cant fake those curves baby

because 99% of people are doing it wrong.

kits are gay.

*shrug*

im a fan of factory aero.

and seriously, most kits you see have been executed horribly.

Yes. ofcourse executed kits are bad. Im not talking about half hanging of veilside kits . My old 33 with BN and nice wheels looked neat. wasnt some backyard job.

Dohmar. Alittle over the top dont you think ? Vomit ? Paris Hilton.

Dont like the look of drift cars ?

Not really. Some cars are absolutely f**ked up from a design point of view, and you don't need to even start a poll.

Drift cars look cool because they are functional for what they do. I laugh when I see a street car with drift kit and the butthole has to spend a good minute negotiating the local HJ's carpark

The bodykit I'm talking about is the stupid stuff that leaves you with a couple mm worth of clearance from the wheels and the ground, the sorta stupid kit that is flared out widebody style, and the kits that have loads of these vents for braking channels, engine bay flow, cabin flow, boot lip flow

IMHO practicality beats everything else. For a serious street car I dont know why anyone would get the really low wide and flared kits ... if u want to impress 16 year old girls or want to have your own bay at autosalon, go for it, but I personally would rather have a performance car with the right suspension, wheel offset, castor and camber to do some serious driving on our roads, rather than just being some pretender to the throne - theres a big diff between street and track spec, so why run a show car with trac spec suspensions and offset? Theres no point trying to rock a skyline in J-spec suspension on A-spec roads.

Some fair points.

I dont have a BN . or a massive kit on the 34. not because of just looks , but because I found the other kit impossible to drive around in.

People have diff opinions on looks. could go on forever without a result.

However. I wasn't trying to be a drift king on the streets with my BN kit. ? Not all people do. Some people like the look. I did, with the right wheels. real paint. No poofy other shit. just neat and tough. Nothing wrong with the more subtle look. Which is what im going for now with standard nismo kit. minus gay wing. Just sticking up for some people and their voice.

You think my 33 up there looks like vomit ?

whenever i get new tyres from Beaurepairs at Warradale/Somerton Park they drive my car up onto 4 rubber blocks so they can fit a jack under my car, since the front bar hits (yes hits not scrapes) on the hoist.

as i mentioned, my hoist only needs like 10cm clearance, so unless ur rails are 1cm off the ground, then a wooden block is enough to get enough clearance.

maybe these other hoists people are using are higher, but all i know is its easier to get my hoist in underneath, than a jack.

    • 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...
