Very nice !!! just curious why you didn't go with the Top Secret side skirts like everything else, i think they look a hell of a lot better then anything else on the market they seam to flow with the lines of the 34 where as the nismo or nismo style make the car to boxy looking .

Thanks a bunch!

The Top Secret side skirts you mentioned aren't really side skirts at all. They're sold as side protectors on their website. The reason why I didn't go with them is because they only run up 1/3 the side of the car and only the rear portion. It didn't seem like there was anything extra on the sides. I wanted flow from the front diffuser to the side skirts. =)

Here's a picture of them before they are fitted.

This is what it looks like on the car.

Looks great!

The Top Secret rear Spats like the Nismo side skirts for the R32 GTR looks nice too.

But still your carbon fibre one looks just as good.

+ you got some sweet ass deep lip on the TE37's.

*laughs* Thanks, they're 19" 9.5jj. I've got a friend who just got 19" 10.5jj in bronze. Should be a little more deeper. Will get some shots .

Yeah definitely the z-tune skirts look better, its an addition rather than the top secret ones which look like they were just stuck on.

big fan of your car dark child!! thanks for the inspiration

Thanks Johnny! Do share some pictures of how your ride it coming along. :)

Some day time shots I snapped quickly today.

Here are a couple more shots a friend of mine took today in the day time.

He says I have a carbon obsession and that I should get the doors, fenders, trunk and complete wing in them too. :banana: Painted of course.

you sir, have a severe case of the carbonitis.

I'm guessing the rear diffuser is kevlar though?

*laughs*

The Top Secret Rear Diffuser is a carbon fiber item, the Top Secret Vortex Generators on each side, on the other hand, are kevlar. A little contrast from the carbon bits. :)

Thats the best white r34 gtr ive ever seen. Dont know what else you could do to it great work..

Thanks! :banana:

I had the Do Luck fenders in mind actually as the Top Secret bumper is very round. :mellow:

Thanks guys! I'm sure you have equally awesome rides.

Yeah the Do-Luck fenders look pretty cool with the vent on the side.

But I still like the Z-Tune with vent at the top corner.

If not, go Sunline Racing front guards as they are based on the Z-Tune but a bit more aggressive.

Top Secret Front bar is like a Nismo Front bar but a few edges have rounded off but the opening for the FMIC looks great on it tho as it fits so perfect around 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...
