Hay guys

Im looking at buying an un rego'd skyline that needs a bit of tlc and putting it over the pits. the owner said the car was rego'd in WA and got a yellow sticker for a illeagal mod and so the owner handed in the plates and used the car for the track. now its not that far from stock so returning to reasonable condition isnt a bother its weather the pits will let an un rego'd import to be licensed again and how to know if the owner is telling the truth (I will ask for rego papers) but the main thing is the pits and if there will be any hassles any of you had trouble.

cheers

what was the illegal mod? it will have to be returned to stock.. if it was a cheap part i'd be wondering why it wasnt remoived.. especially to sell later on..

the car has to be in roadworthy condition for it to be rego'd again.. if there are lots of worn out parts, etc it may end up costing a bit to get in good condition..

it was yellowed for the front mount exhaust and some other small bits. the car is not that hard for me to return to stock because i have a spare wreck so that no problem i was wondering if the pits have an issue with re licenseing imports and what happen if it was bought in under the personal imports rule it wont have a complience plate hw will the pits deal with that. (the car was licensed i cant see a complience plate any where) where are complience plates on r32's on silvia theres a big green plate on the fire wall.

won't have a problem with re-rego.. as long as it passes roadworthy.. ask for compliance papers and check against car.. get a workshop to look over it and see if they have issues with it/ or if it's not complianced

Yep check for compliance plates, the thing might have been brought in as a race-use only vehicle...in which case, without complying it yourself (will cost a few thousand) you won't be able to register it. May have had a vin swap or been a rebirth too. Plenty of people lie sell their problem off onto someone else.

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

      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...
