looks like autobarn mesh to go with the cheap HSV looking front bar. It would have been better with a front bar designed for an N/A car maybe I dunno but mesh looks craptastic on any car.

I have to disagree.

Mesh CAN look okay on the right car, it's just when it's over-the-top and cheap looking that it becomes tacky.

I have to say that on Cara's car it looks top notch! Because there's no FMIC it needs something to fill the hole there and the mesh does a good job of finishing it off.

or a non connected FMIC lol

lol. I actually had one of them on my N/A for a little while... I mounted it all up before I did the RB25DE+t conversion... felt like a real tool driving around with it here not hooked up though... I mean the only real giveaway was the lack of power... although I did have one guy jump out of his car at the lights one day and ask me if he could take a look at my cooler piping as he was trying to work out his... lol had to tell him that it wasn't hooked up yet - probably thought I was an idiot :)

i don't mind the mesh. i actually think it looks tacky without mesh and just a big hole. and at the front of the bonnet the mesh hides the white radiator support and bonnet latch.

the radiator support and bonnet latch are gonna get painted black (crash repairers decision lol) which is fine, i think it wil look better if they are black.

    • 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...
