I know they have factory HID's, but from the first pic it did still look pretty yellow. Judging from the new above pics it doesn't look that bad so maybe it was just the way the first pic turned out. What kelvin are the factory ones?

I would guess 4300k

Yeah i think my iphones camera is pretty crap with the white balance so thats why it looks yellow, but in person its very white. Starts off blue till it warms to a white. Definitely obvious when you put the high beams on and see how yellow they are in comparison.

Cheers.

Yeah those pics don't do it any justice.

Coming from a series 2 GTST to a GTR with xenons I noticed a huge difference.

Definetly not 6000k, I'd say more like 4000k.

Nice car mate! Did you take some of those photos from Marysvile/Lake Mountain??

yeah mate that's where those photos were taken. It's an awesome run up to warburton, through the reefton spur, back through marysville and then through the black spur! The reefton spur is an awesome road most of the time there is little to no traffic, great scenery and awesome twisties! I advise people to try it if they haven't been.

Cheers.

Know the feeling mate! Was the same with mine, 10 years wanting an R32 V-spec and to finally drive away in one is an awesome feeling. Had mine about 7-8 months now and it is only a weekender, which still means even just cruising into town for a coffee with a mate feels like something you have to tell people about, every drive is an event.

Hey Dan!

Car has been great, been treating me well, except for the cops. Got pulled over doing 75 in a 80 zone. Cop tells me how much he likes the car and that it looks in awesome condition really clean etc. etc. Then after all that praise he tells me to pop my bonnet and starts to find stuff to pin me for!

Asking me "So what you got running this thing Power FC?" "How come your wastegate actuators are silver colour not bronze like the stock", "Looks like the guy that did you RWC missed one vital thing, your Profec 2!" All the while i'm trying to act dumb. In the end he gets me for a boost controller and sends me an invite to join the EPA noise and emissions party. D'oh. Welcome to the world of Skyline ownership I guess. At least he was nice enough not to fine me for having a defective car (boost controller).

Hows your EVO going? Had the time to do anything to it yet?

Here is a shot of the ol' beast with my new DSLR.

    • 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...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
