hahahaha, well waiting on a few things...

new 8000k HID kit coming

alloy intake pipe coming

apexi pod coming

led parkers coming

front mount getting thursday hopefully

new hoses for the bov return and the oil/air from the cam cover

picked up new coolant, side indicator globes and motul auto trans fluid today. getting stuck into the making of the new mounts tomorrow for the thermo, trans cooler mount and bonnet latch brace.

Also the stagea side indicator plugs are different to the r34 plugs, wired them in today. Spoke to the paint shop, they are ready for it once i get it driving...

Hopefully have this thing back on the road ready for paint by mid next weekish... fingers crossed

Looking great so far, Teren! Hopefully I'll be able to head around this week (or maybe over the weekend) some time and check it out in the flesh.

I'm back to health, so my aim is to NOT get sick again while out in the wet weather - hopefully it doesn't rain beyond Thursday.

Ok so a little update for those who tune in....

After returning from a quick trip to Singapore... I picked up a new HYBRID GT2 intercooler kit on tuesday, had to make some custom mounts to mount up to the the front reo and mess around with the trans cooler to get it to fit up all nice, also made brackets to bolt up the gtr bonnet latch brace and the thermo fan and modified the trans cooler bracket to fit up to the gtr rad support.

Received my alloy intake pipe and apexi pod filter, and have it roughly fitted up although the filter hits on the washer bottle so might have to see if the S1 washer bottle makes it any better (do S1's have the washer bottle mounted under the skirt where the stock intercooler goes? or do i have some different one?). If that doesnt work I will have to get a hold of a HKS mushroom possibly.

Could have had this thing finished and painted by now if i didnt keep on buying things to put on it! :thumbsup:

Thanks Hugh,

Its an Odyssey fairly certain its this one...

ER40 Specs:

1100 cranking amps for 5 seconds

Short circuit current over 2450A

45 amp hours

87 minute reserve capacity with 25amp load

M6 stud terminal

Length 9.8""

Width 3.8"

Height 8.1"

Weighs 27.5 lbs

Ill check my actual type tomorrow, but im fairly certain those are the same specs

Sorry about the poor quality, these were taken from my phone... Updates so far, front mount in, headlights and other wiring done and working, greedy catch can with braided lines and speed flow fitting's in and apexi pen timer... just took the car for a little punt around the block. Sounds good with the pod / alloy intake pipe :(

Getting the guards, bonnet and lower lip back on Thursday :(

Do you get much reversion messing with the AFM with the alloy intake pipe?

there doesn't seemto be any problems with it but I do have a 45deg silicon bend before the AFM, there was a few problems with revs dropping heaps fast almost causing the engine to stall after fast acceleration then hard braking in full auto, but don't think it was reversion. Possibly the dual port BOV Ihave on it ATM...

looking forward to an update on this one mate!

I will update the latest pics tonight when I get a chance, im waiting to see what wheels you can come up with! :bunny:

Ok, Sorry it has been a while! but I'm just waiting to get it to paint :down:

I have been looking at wheels feverishly, so far these Gram light 57f's look to be winning... 19 x 9.5” +19 front and 19 x 10.5” +29 rears

I have also put the front side skirt pods back on the car along with a JJR Bellmouth stanless front/dump pipe and a HDI Dual stage EBC car is now running 12psi

and for refrence....

My deadline for the paint and to have wheels on it is by the NSW stagea meet in the next few months!

I have also had a chat to a welding friend about removing the roof racks and having the holes welded up, looks promising but will let you know how I go

A few more pics :D

    • 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...
