i hope you don't have a heavy right foot :laugh:

nah actually I'm shifting my gears around 2.5k RPM at the moment.

Want to get used to the twin plates before increasing the weight on

my right foot :P and I really want to see how many Kms from full tank

if I granny the car. Hopefully I can get 400+ kms from this tank!

Thanks mate, my missus knew how much I want a GTR. When I was driving a Corolla and she saw me

drooling over a GTR on the road every time one drove past and I've been talking about GTR for the last

4-5 years so she did not object me from buying one :P

Hope you will get to buy one in the future mate. Tell her it's your car your money :D

If only it worked that way. ;)

I'm lucky, mine wants to build a drag car. :D Too bad I want to drift ...

As above though, awesome car mate, enjoy it!

I'm quite jealous!

Compare to my old car which was the corolla 2005 :( She's way way quicker.

very stable on the freeway and in the corner.

Before I've come across this R32, I've test drive the R33 GTR from another dealer in

Dandenong, the R33 was no where near as good as this one. Felt engine worn yeahh

not as fast :P The km on the clock was 93,xxx something but it was an aftermarket

nismo dash. The dude reckon it's the genuin Kms on the car, and the car is a Vspec.

So I just walked away didn't bother calling him back or anything

Please correct me if I'm wrong about the nismo dash. I think even if the car is a Vspec

it still should come with normal dash yeah? not the 320km/hour one.

If yours is pretty much standard and if you don't drive it aggressively, then YES you can definitely get 400+kms from the tank.

Because mine is stock standard and it always gets more than 400 kms every single time.

I drive 60% on freeway and 40% on hwy.

The best I remember is 1 litre ~ 8.2 klms (or 12 litres for 100 kms). I refilled when at 460-470klms (really conservative driving :blush: )

But there is no fun to drive slow all the time ... that's not what we get this car for isn't it? :(:):D

So my average is 1 litre ~ 7.7 klms (normal driving + a bit aggressive from time to time)

Is that for full tank? Not bad see ;) .. try cleaning the afms will help a bit too :D ..

i hate driving in cbd :down:

can't imagine how you drive with a twin plate ..

think i'm gonna try a cushioned button when it's due for replacement ..

so enjoy the car :down: .. i only have mine for a year and to me it's a great car ..

treat it well and i believe you'll always enjoy it :angry:

Nismo is an optional 900+ dollar replacement. sorta helps to know how fast ur really going if you take the limiter off of your carrrr :P

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      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...
