Welcome to the jungle dude

Read the forums often, esp the for sale section. Check the national forums in regards to maint, mods and stuff for sale

You'll grow into it. Just start with maintaining ur car as best u can and replacing the worn components to give it another decades worth of use. Once u got that sorted, then u can think about upgrades

Looks very pretty tho. You'll have fun with it, guaranteed

-D

welcome aboard man

best single bit of advice is don't extend your oil changes do them even if you think the oil coming out is all good :)

have fun with the fight in the garage too your skyline wont like the senator :P but the senator will be jealous of the skyline :)

haha cheers fellas. yeah i got the car from a dude i know who bought it from NSW

i live in adelaide btw

the cleaning and makings things how i like has already started with simple things like cleaning it. fixing the dash lights/ putting my dvd player in tomorrow and hooking up my subs and amps in the process.

its only been a couple days, but they really are a ncie car to drive.

EDIT** with the headlights ive been told i can use any polis on the outside with a buff, is this a good idea or just do it by hand?

nice 33 dude...dont go modding it just maintain it and keep it looking nice and clean...have fun

DON'T mod it?!?!? You've lost it Krish, definitely mod it!

ahhh, God's country!

Bit upper crust for you Steve :P

Hold up, Port Adelaide, God's country?!?! I didn't know God had hit hard time due to the global financial crisis and had to sell up to a crap hole too. Sad hard times indeed :(

    • 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...
