PS i know this may sound silly, but are you running a BOV?

I know not running one usually means the turbo dies quicker (even though most people will deny this), its just that when running one, especially in drift, it doesnt feel like the BOV can keep up with being on and off the throttle as much as you are while drifting.

Just read all 22 pages, awesome build mate, reading this makes me want to get started on mine sooner. Good stuff!

So how did the gtx go compared to the non gtx?

Also whats the reason for the r33 TB instead of the r34 one?

Good work mate! :cheers:

used the 33 tb because the 34 one is much longer and has all the TCS crap in it.

i did a review in the forced section with a GTX vrs GT.. its defo better, spools earlier!

which is exactally why i dont run one. BOV's WILL make it laggier while on and off the throttle during drift.

hahaha thought i was the only one to feel that except for the japs.

Also how do you have the crankcase pressure valve set up? are you running a catch can or just like standard with the nipple on the intake pipe?

sorry about all the questions, just absolutely love this car, especially seeing as its proven.

catch can venting to atmo.. simple and effective!

G1 rd 2 run and done.. i can forget about back to back championships now... i blew 3rd early on in the day :(

well WTAC prep has been coming along nicely! new kit on, vynals done by Holeshot and Luke Bing stickers. something different and looks mad!.

heres the start to finish.

a rough sketch adam did 4 months ago... we sat and discussed for a while.

im liking it very much and somthing a bit different which is hard to do in this day and age.

top work to all involved.

oh and the led strip lights are a nice toutch.

Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • 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...
